Sorry it's taken so long for me to reply, things have been rather busy here.
I must ask what color of ascending light did you witness? And where did the sighting occur? the answers may hold clues to what it was.
The light was nothing spectacular, just a very bright, white light. Being New years Eve, I was under the assumption it may have been a plane doing a
midnight tourist run or something until it just kept ascending. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm afraid there's nothing else to tell about the
experience, but it's something that's certainly left a lasting impression on me. As I said in my other post, i'm always the first to
dissmiss any sort of oddity in the air as a plane, or the like. This however.... I don't know.
My only other experience (Which wasn't as fell on as this one) was also at night time. If I remember correctly, it was a nice night outside and I
went to sit on my front step and enjoy the weather and the night sky. As I was looking up and fowards a bit, I saw something certainly strange. It
wasn't exactly within close proximity, but certainly not miles away. I saw a disc shaped object fall diagnally (Left and down from my perspective)
towards the earth. There was a fair amount of cloud in the area, which provided a nice silhouette of the object. This one never really made any sort
of impact on me, the only thing that I found strange was that 2 people then walked by and a black car drove past down my otherwise quiet at that time
of night street. But that's just me being paranoid
