Aliens could be the latest to weigh in on the nuclear waste storage debate after UFOs were spotted near the proposed Territory facility.

Muckaty Station manager Ray Aylett said he saw UFOs hovering over a part of his station north of Tennant Creek last Wednesday.

He said he spotted strange lights between the two sites on the property under consideration for the dump.

“I keep getting out the torch, I wanna get them down to have a beer or a steak but they won’t come down,” he said.

He said one of the two sites was attracting most of the attention from the sky.

“At one of the sites, two UFOs followed me – I was going to Helen’s Springs and two followed me along the road,” he said.

“I thought ‘bugger you, if you wanna go past, I’ll pull over’ I pulled over and they went.

“Later, when I got to the Helen Springs turnoff, two came in front of me – in the same night.”

But the latest sighting was slightly to the west of the homestead, placing it in an almost perfect equal geographic distance from the two sites.

“I went out to turn the lamp off and there was one out there in the west, he was there for a fair while,” he said. “He was just above the horizon – was there for a while and then went.

“It was like an orangey-coloured light – an orangey-coloured star.

“He was just sitting there. I’ve seen some good ones moving.”

The Barkly Shire councillor said most people think he’s mad over his UFO sightings, which have made him a Territory celebrity.

“They’ve been coming ever since I’ve been at Muckaty, for 13 years,” he said.

“They’re funny things, I reckon there are people on Earth, so there have got to be people out there.

“Everybody reckons I’m mad, but you’ve gotta be hunting them.”
