A prospector who went to find gold in the New South Wales hills thinks he may have found something better - evidence that aliens really do exist. This region was the scene of one of Australia's most baffling UFO cases - a series of sightings in 1995 and 1996 - reported by police and many other credible witnesses. Adam Cainero believes he captured a photograph of an alien spacecraft hovering above an escarpment near Majors Creek, in the Southern Tablelands near Braidwood. After an unsuccessful weekend fossicking for gold Mr Cainero and a friend were making the long trip home when he stopped to take a snap of the steep mountain they had driven down. When he got home, Mr Cainero said he realised he had found gold of another kind after all. "I just took a picture of the mountain range and the sun was in my eyes so I just kind of pointed and shot," Mr Cainero said. "Then we looked at the picture - we were, like, no way." With its shape and its position in the sky, Mr Cainero said he immediately knew the black object was a UFO. "We always see really weird things as we go out to places where there is no one around," he said. There had been talk among fossickers about UFOs being in the area, he said. "A lot of people I know who go into the bush reckon they have seen one," Mr Cainero said.
