A pair of born brothers claim they witnessed two flying saucers fight each other one night in the Australian outback 40 years ago.

Rob and Phil Tindale reported seeing two unidentified flying objects (also known as flying saucers) hovering in the sky, outside their home in Sterling, Adelaide Hills in February 1980.

The Daily Mail quoted these two people as saying that they first saw “a pale yellow object” hovering at an altitude of 50m above the ground, then a second appeared, emitting red light.

The red flying saucer tried to attack the yellow saucer several times and then sped away at lightning speed. The yellow saucer then made an “emergency landing” on a tree, while the red saucer appeared to disappear after about 15 minutes.

The twins were born and woke their parents, but only received an immediate request to go to bed. However, the next day, Phil and Rob’s grandmother found a report in the local newspaper about a flying saucer crashing into Stirling that same night.

The bulletin was titled: “Aussies Are Sure Flying Saucers Damage Trees”. Information given by Daryl Browne after hearing the tree creak. Daryl said he walked in the direction of the noise, flashing a battery at an 8-meter-long yellow object resembling a speeding missile that was being intercepted between the branches of the fighting tree.

Daryl called authorities, but the yellow object was buried before police arrived on the scene. There is no trace of the disc cavity and the only evidence of an unidentifiable object is the damaging damage it caused to the tree.

According to Phil, the incident happened on a clear night and there was no sound.
