A DOVETON resident says UFO sightings in the night sky have been a prank by locals, claiming he saw fire balloons coming out of a reserve near the alleged sightings.Chris Howarth told the Journal that on Friday 17 September – the same night reports were made by Dandenong North residents – he was making a delivery in Trewin Street, Dandenong South, when he saw small fireballs rising from Andrews Reserve.

Callers have described the UFOs as firey orange balls which hover, then race across the night sky at great speed.
