A mass of UFO sightings has Territorians wondering if we are on the brink of an alien invasion.
There have been seven separate Top End UFO sightings reported in the past week. Hardly a night has passed without a sighting of some "unexplained phenomena" since the first sighting last week.
Almost all of the sightings have been in Darwin's rural area.
The first sighting was reported by a woman who wanted to be identified only as Shirel on April 21.
She said she saw the strange lights from her Humpty Doo home hovering over Howard Springs.
"The lights were really low in the sky, really bright, with flashing dots," she said.
"Three of them formed a semi-circle and they hovered over the area for at least half an hour."
here were three separate sightings on Friday night including British backpacker Kylie Myers who said she had "never believed in anything like UFOs" before her strange encounter.
The 27-year-old tourist said she turned into a "believer".
Ms Myers said she stopped her car on the side of the road to grab her camera from the glovebox, but the light disappeared.
"It was pretty spooky."
There were more sightings at Coolalinga on Saturday, Acacia Hills on Sunday and again in Howard Springs on Tuesday.
But astronomer Geoff Carr yesterday told the Northern Territory News he was "far from believing any of this UFO stuff".
"Unless aliens have found a way to travel faster than light speed, it's a doubtful thing to believe they came to visit us," he said.
Mr Carr said he believed 99.9 per cent of all the UFO sightings could be explained as simple weather phenomena.
