Bright light spotted mysteriously breaking into two pieces, heading in different directions.

In this video, filmed December 29, over Western Australian town of Cooloongup.[map], what appears to be a single object moves in a straight line across the Moon before it suddenly breaks into two objects. The two objects then head in completely separate directions.

EDIT: The Daily Telegraph article is where I first saw this video; and that article says the object is moving across the moon. It occurred to me that the writer of that article thinks the entire view is the Moon — but the view is through the round lens of the telescope. The pair who filmed this don’t say they are observing the moon in the description accompanying the video; they only say they are filming “the south east.” So I don’t know that the Moon is anywhere near where they are observing the light in the sky.

The pair were filming “in the south east using a Yukon Spirit Night Vision attached to a JVC Everio,” according to the description with the video.

The people who filmed this have a whole channel with similar skywatching material. And “Alexi & Dylan” claim they can summon up UFO by “calling to them” via telepathy and other unspecified methods. The bio at their YouTube channel states: “We skywatch and call for them most nights so videos will be uploaded very often!”

Honestly, I do believe some people seem more prone to experience certain phenomena more than others. So I’m not going to be quick to dismiss them. But it might not be “telepathy” at all. I wonder if they just went out regularly with a camera if they wouldn’t see the same thing?

Furthermore, I’ve looked through some of their stuff and seen what look to be satellites.

But this December 29 video is intriguing to me. If it didn’t break apart like that I’d say it was just another satellite or something. (Unless it’s a satellite breaking apart?)

The Daily Telegraph has an article about it, and they note some of the comments at the video’s page by others who say they’ve been seeing similar activity.

YouTube user humanimalnz said: “I saw the same thing but in Grandchester, Queensland on the 23rd of December 2011, there were heaps of them.”

While RaceYetti declared: “I saw something similar on the 28th in Adelaide around 9.00 pm…one light seemed to turn into two then went separate directions….very strange.”

And then the Telegraph’s article itself has this comment by “stan of Perth”

saw a similar thing a few months back, a light shot down like a shooting star, then slowed down to a stop and then shot off at a 90 degree angle and disappeared!

So what do you think? Perhaps — as Elaine has commented recently — there really is a reason NASA is sending robots, and not human beings, to the Moon these days.
