UFO expert spots disk-shaped craft speeding high above the Australian desert

Alan Ferguson captured the close encounter on camera on Saturday morning, when an alien spaceship soared above his Acacia Hills property about 50km south of Darwin.

The UFO expert, who documents sightings from around Australia on his website UFOTerritory, said he set his camera on a fast-speed loop.

The unusual occurrence has become somewhat normal for Mr Ferguson, who told Daily Mail Australia he has seen more than 500 UFOs.

'Over the years it would be a large amount somewhere around 500-plus at least - it's ongoing all the time,' he said.

'If it's not flashes in the sky... it's an annoying warm gut feeling to go outside. They let me know.'

Mr Ferguson said his life-long study of the skies started in the back of his parents car on a family drive.

'I was eight years of age, and out the back of the FC Holden going home to Albury I saw one,' he said. 'It was a blue, red and white object following the car.

'Also, when I was three years old, my mum had me in her arms and a UFO was sitting just above the house in Albury. The lights under it started spinning fast then it shot straight up into the sky.

'Screams were heard by the neighbours and it was sighted again over the Hume Dam.'

Mr Ferguson said his adopted home, the Northern Territory, was 

'It's a hot spot up here due to lots of military exercises,' he said.

'Some I have seen could be human military air vehicles no doubt. They are the slow ones but the ones that take off in a blur, they aren't from here.'

He also said most people are 'good about it' when he tells them what he has seen, and 'only the closed minded people laugh but that's their problem'.

As for the big question - is the truth out there?

'I have answers but the information can't be told to the general public.

'I can't go anymore into it as would blow your mind.'
