Australien Skies

My name is Don Meers.

I am the director of a production company

called Dojo Media.

I'm on my way to spend four days

with an Australian ufologist

by the name of Damien Nott,

who claims to have captured

over 2,000 photographs and video

of unidentified flying objects

and paranormal phenomena.

The first goal of this film

is to see if we can start to understand

what is happening to Damien and other people like him.

Secondly, I want to try

and work out what these objects are that he's seeing.

And lastly, I wanna see

one of these objects up close and personal for myself.

This is Australien Skies.

Hi, guys. How's it going? My name is Don Meers.

I'm the director of Dojo Media.

Welcome to the opening shots of Australien Skies.

I'm actually here now waiting

for Damien Nott to arrive at Queensland Train Station.

We had originally planned

to shoot this film in New South Wales.

However, our location down there fell through.

Fortunately for us though,

we were offered a Queensland location

by the name of Figtree Valley,

which had been attributed

with a whole lot of high strangeness.

And we thought, "You know what, let's go for it.

"Let's have a bit of a road trip.

"Bring Damien out of his comfort zone

"to the beautiful Queensland area.

"Surrounded by the Glass House Mountains

"and Bribie Island"

So we've got all the crew here.

Unfortunately though, Damien doesn't like to fly,

so he opted for the train.

Which means that for the last fourteen and a half hours

he's been traveling from

New South Wales to Queensland,

which I imagine in itself

is gonna be quite an adventure.

Yep. There he is.

Okay, here he comes.

Hi, Damien, how are you?

Howdy? Very well, thanks.

How was your train trip?

-You know how I didn't like aeroplanes? -Yes.

-I like them now. -

-Welcome to Queensland. -Cheers, mate.

I have no explanation whatsoever

for the amount of craft

that I actually see, or that I've seen over the years.

I really don't know why I see the amount that I see.

All I know is over the last two years,

I've seen literally hundreds.

Everything started ramping up two years ago.

I moved to a place called Dunedoo

in the central west table lands

of New South Wales, Australia.

My father had previously moved up there,

and I moved up there to renovate our home.

And pretty much every second night I was there,

I started witnessing the strangest phenomena.

Stop. Here we go. Here we go. Right here.

It's right here.

-There it is. See? - Wow. Yup.

That's got to be him.

Look at that.

Amazing.

Yeah, got him.

It's blinking.

The dogs are going bonkers all around this area.

Look at him moving.

That is amazing. Wow.

These objects would come into a country town...

I mean, where there was a population of 500 people.

And everybody in town is,

you know, has the door shut.

6:00 pm at night,

there's no lights in the town.

So it's a very isolated kind of place.

And these objects rock up out of the blue,

and ranged in size from probably a tennis ball

to a basketball, up to a car, up to a ship,

like a naval frigate.

I was witnessing all types of activity in the air.

Objects high up

changing direction, left hand turns,

taking off at high speeds.

Big spheres of light the size of homes

illuminating roof tiles as they moved across.

Right down to solid balls of light

which, you know, scientists call plasma,

or Earth Light, whatever the case may be.

I really don't have an explanation for them.

All I know is what I've seen over the years.

And I know the reality of what I've seen, because

now there's been hundreds of people

that have witnessed it now with me.

And they're stumped as well.

They have no idea why it's happening.

Alien base or what?

Yeah, that's why it came out here.

Oh, my God.

When we had a really amazing sighting

and Damien had a feeling

and went outside and started to film.

And then he called me out

and I looked up in the sky and saw a very shiny light

that was moving very, very slowly.

Explain that as an aeroplane, guys.

That's not an aeroplane.

It's not moving...

It's so slow.

If it was a plane it would've fallen out of the sky.

You should see what it's doing now.

It's floating. It's not a plane.

And it's illuminating without any...

My dad's friend Sherie was here,

and we called Sherie out and she came out as well.

And we were just watching this object...

And for me, what was pretty awesome about it was

when I saw something drop out of the object.

Oh, my God.

Something just flew by.

Something's falling out of it.

Can you see it?

Something's coming down. Can you see that, Sherie?

It seems to me like flashing lights.

Not flashing lights.

Maybe just trying to, like, illuminating?

It's actually morphing shape

and rotating as well.

Planes won't see this or pick this up?

Oh, planes see them all the time,

but they're told to keep...

I know that there are many people

that have seen this phenomenon around Damien.

Especially in Dunedoo.

His friends, his family, his father.

Um, myself.

Yes, that's...

A lot of people can attest to seeing it.

I have to say

I've never seen anything like that before.

Do you think they draw to you?

Yeah.

They're with me wherever I go.

- So it doesn't matter where you're going? -No.

Two years ago, in January,

we received an email from Damien Nott,

who was reporting seeing some amazing UFOs

and filming them in the Dunedoo area.

Because of the nature of the email,

because of the sincerity of Damien,

and because of the number of UFOs he was seeing,

I decided to take the drive to Dunedoo

to explore for myself

and to meet him in person.

Look at him go.

It's moving quite slow.

At same time, keeping steady pace.

Should get me a tripod.

I don't think we are going anywhere.

I booked into a B&B in the town

and unbeknown to me,

there was a Sydney Morning Herald journalist

booking into the same B&B

to cover the story of

the Coonabarabran fires at the time.

And my B&B landlady

told him, "There's this UFO lady from Sydney.

"You may want to meet her."

And his ears pricked up and he made contact with me,

and subsequently with Damien.

And we discussed whether

Damien would like to be interviewed by him,

and Damien thought it was a good idea

and the timing was right.

Just about out of the screen again.

Picks it up again.

Did you see that?

It just moved to the left so quick.

Thank you for showing me this.

The journalist and his associate

did a night-watch with Damien

and saw quite a number of UFOs, as did I.

And it was probably my first proper UFO sighting.

I've had multitude of people witness them around me.

Whereas other people have come up,

didn't see a thing.

So there seems to be a thing where

certain people, if they're open-minded enough,

will see them.

And the more you see, the more you continue to see.
