Opinions are divided over Dandenong's latest UFO sighting. Last Tuesday, 'Delia' told 3AW's breakfast program she went "out for a smoke" at about 9.20pm the Sunday before.

"I saw six UFOs lined up vertically like a tree. They were very bright, like orange, and on the bottom they were the shape of a ball. The bottom one was very close, but they disappeared in a flash. It was freaky."

'Delia', who claimed to also have seen UFOs earlier this year, said people were stopping their cars in the street.

No reports of the event had been received by Greater Dandenong Council or police.

The Journal spoke to five Dandenong Plaza shoppers and none were convinced UFOs existed.

However, Australian UFO Research Network members Diane Frola and George Simpson confirmed Dandenong was a hotbed for UFO reports.

"The Dandenong area has always had something happening," Mr Simpson said.

Ms Frola said Dandenong had been "pretty quiet" for the past six months.

"You get a lot of these orange balls of light that fly around like a triangle formation. This one is the first sighting in over six months."

The network provided a photograph of UFOs, taken in Pakenham on April 5 this year, believed to be similar to the ones seen in Dandenong last Sunday week.

One of the area's best known reported UFO sightings, seen by an estimated 200 people, was on April 6, 1966.

Staff and students at Westall High School (now Westall Secondary College), in Rosebank Avenue, Clayton South, claimed to have seen a 'flying saucer' descend into a paddock near the school.
