		A couple of years after cyclone Tracy, an old shipmate I met in a bar claimed to have had a similar UFO experience around about that same time; within a couple of hundred miles of the same area where I had seen the huge blue-green UFO land.
		I was living in Darwin when Cyclone Tracy hit and both my partner and I, together with next door neighbours, witnessed a large craft hovering over the city during the height of the storm.
