Initial data
Joshua Thompson - a 20-year-old student at the prestigious James cook University. On Tuesday, November 5, 2013, around 6 PM, when he was driving to his home in a riverside garden, he saw thousands of little black birds flying over the Ross river towards the gardens of Palmetum. At this moment he was crossing the bridge.
"I've never seen anything like it in Townsville. I thought it looked cool."
Intrigued, he took a picture using your iPhone 5 . Later, when he examined the picture he noticed a presence in the sky two strange little flying objects in the shape of a saucer.
In the photo we can see a sort of explosion of light yellow light in the shape of a disc with six other little lights in the sky.
"Six little lights seemed really strange."
It seemed also that behind the unknown object was a black shadow, and the other - another object flying obviously far.
Unusually, we can notice the presence of a long translucent beam just below the glowing object.
"My theory is that birds could be used as a cover for UFOs, to the IOG to escape."

Original news
THE truth is out there for a young Townsville doctor-in-training who believes he has photographic evidence of a UFO chasing a large flock of birds.
James Cook University medical student Joshua Thompson, 20, was driving to his home at Riverside Gardens in Douglas on Tuesday about 6pm when he spotted thousands of small black birds flying over the Ross River towards the Palmetum gardens, as he went past the bridge.
"I've never seen anything like that before in Townsville," he said.
"I thought that looked a bit cool."
He took a photograph on his iPhone 5 and, when later examining the picture, he noticed two strange, small saucer-shaped objects in the sky.
In one of the photos, there is a clear burst of yellow light in the shape of a disc, with six small lights in the sky.
"The six small lights really weirded me out," he said.
"You can see them really clearly in this ring type of thing."
There also appears to be a black shadow behind the unknown object, and another object above it, seemingly flying away.
The lit UFO also has a transparent beam underneath it, suggesting it is zooming away.
"My theory is the birds may have been some sort of cover for it to get away," he said.
Mr Thompson uploaded his sighting to YouTube from his smartphone on Tuesday night, attracting more than 1000 views within 24 hours.
He said he was not a "superstitious" person, but was aware of another recent sighting.
"My mate who is in the same course as me, who did astronomy as an elective this semester, he saw a similar sighting about a month ago in the same area, the same type of disc-orb shape, he said, that just took off," he said.
"I didn't actually see it at all, I was just driving and quickly took a snap, and the rest is history."
Mr Thompson, who is originally from Darwin and also lived in Indonesia and Portugal for many years, said he had never seen anything like the UFO before in his time living around the world. "I've occasionally seen lights in the sky and just thought, oh, shooting star, or whatever nothing that crazy," he said.
Kenneth Armitage, from Townsville City Council's parks department, said he was not aware of any reports from Palmetum staff about unusual activity in the sky this week.
Hypotheses
Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure
Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.
Events
Rocket launches (from space.skyrocket.de)
- Site: Satish Dhawan Space Center (Sriharikota Space Center), Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh (India) Vehicle: PSLV-XL Payload: Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM, Mangalyaan)
Investigation
A large, bright glowing object with a dark translucent bar at the bottom - the street lamp, shot in the camera movement.
