    2 planes went to Townsville and circled the city watching the bright lights in the city area. It took over half an hour before the military presence in Townsville realised there may be problems. The lights went off and four searchlights threaded the sky looking for the two aircraft. They eventually spotted the aircraft, but lost them when they went out to sea.
