Katherine man Luke Wigan, 46, told the Katherine Times he was travelling along Zimin Drive at 3am on the way to work at a local bakery when something caught his eye.

"It was a green light that hovered above the trees, near the power station," the father-of-five said.

"It just hung there in the air for maybe five to six seconds, before it shot off towards the Stuart Highway.

"There was no noise at all.

"It was the fastest thing I've seen in my life."

Mr Wigan said while he was "not sceptical" about UFOs, he was still getting goosebumps thinking about what he saw.

"I really don't know what it was - it looked like a round light, as green as glowsticks kids play with.

"It certainly made me pay a bit more attention to the sky.

"I don't think we're the only ones here."

Late last month Katherine man David Schuman spotted a UFO near Katherine's Strongbala Men's Healing Centre - and took photos of it.
