A “triangular UFO” was spotted floating above the skies of Darwin, AU.

The man quickly looked up the craft and its description on the web and found many renderings of almost exactly what he saw on YouTube.

“I thought it was a plane but all it made was humming sounds,” he said.

“It was maybe at the third level of my unit block just hovering and gliding.

“I wish I had my phone, my iPhone to record it.”

A UFO said to look like a secret Area 51 government plane shown on YouTube was seen last week by a Darwin man.

The man, who wanted only to be known as Brian, said he was having a beer and a smoke outside his unit in Sunset Drv about 9.30pm on Thursday when he saw a large, black flying triangle with lights on the side.

“I thought it was a plane but all it made was humming sounds,” he said.

“It was maybe at the third level of my unit block just hovering and gliding.

“I wish I had my phone, my iPhone to record it.”

This year in the Territory there have been many UFO sightings, and rumours British pop star Robbie Williams had bought a property at Daly Waters so he could pursue his passion for UFO spotting. There were seven sightings in a week in April.

This may be unusual with high-profile Acacia Hills UFO spotter Alan Ferguson having said they usually visit the Territory in the dry.

In telling his yarn, Brian reluctantly admitted he had ducked outside to “to use the toilet”. “I’d mistaken it for a lamp post. I was relieving myself in the garden and I looked ahead and saw a light, then the light dropped a little, it was moving and I thought it was a plane and I was waiting for the roar of the engine and it was just humming.”

“I look up YouTube sometimes, and under Area 51airplanes there is a triangle one, it was much like that.”

He said there were about three bright, white lights on either side and one on the tip of the triangle which was about 20m across as it hovered for about 20 seconds.

“If anything what they have on YouTube is down pat, it was like secret government plane,” he said.

Police said they had no reports of any other sightings
