A WOMAN claims she was cut off by two alien beings in a spaceship shaped like a Ford station wagon — before it took off surrounded by green, blue and red flames.

It's not a question of; 'is there anything out there? More like 'just what is out there? That's what ABC morning presenter Leon Compton has established after he opened up the lines on his show to UFO stories and was swamped with callers.

It was just one of the stories to come out after ABC morning show presenter Leon Compton opened up the airwaves to UFO believers.

Betty from Alice Springs said her close encounter occurred in 1969.

She was driving 20km south of Aileron towards Alice Springs at 4am with her six-year-old daughter when they saw the vehicle ‘‘flying alongside us’’.

‘‘We saw these two figures inside this thing. It looked like a Ford station wagon, with the windows. It came in front of us really quickly.’’

Her daughter then said, ‘‘There’s nothing to be afraid of.’’

‘‘I said, ‘Why did you say that?’ She said, ‘I don’t know, it just came out of my mouth’.

‘‘And as I was talking, the whole think took off like a shot out of a gun ... And then there was all this green and blue and red flames or lights all around it.

‘‘I’ll never forget it.’’

Other callers gave reasons why they believed in visitors from other planets — with one even quoting the Bible.

Dennis from Batchelor said his sighting was shared by a crowd of people on the Dripstone Cliffs at sunset.

‘‘A mate and I were looking down the beach and saw this orangey-pink light progressing towards us. No sound at all,’’ he said.

‘‘We just watched it in silence as it cruised on past the casino.’’

And Cameron from Alice Springs said he was visiting a water hole in 1983 when he saw a flying saucer land 700m away.

‘‘It was half the size of a football field,’’ he said.
