WHAT ARE THEY: Alan Ferguson took this UFO picture at his property at Acacia Hills on a Sunday afternoon.

TERRITORY UFO spotter Alan Ferguson says that mysterious objects have returned to the skies above his Top End property. He is convinced the black objects that can be seen in the photograph have been flying around his home for years.

"I was out taking photos on Sunday afternoon and you can see two of them in one of the shots," he said. "It was a fluke - an absolute fluke."

Mr Ferguson attracted publicity around the world in July after the Northern Territory News reported on his UFO spotting exploits.

Sceptics have dismissed his claims, saying the "objects" in his photographs are more likely a lens flare from his camera. But Mr Ferguson said he had seen the objects flying silently around his property and moving in an "N" formation.

"They are just above the tree lines," he said.

"I don't know if they are following the Stuart Highway or not, but the angle they seem to be is always just above the Stuart Highway."

He has been trying to lobby NT tourism organisations to use the Territory's growing reputation as a UFO heartland to attract more visitors here.

"Tens of thousands of people go to Roswell every year to see nothing - there's nothing there," he said.

"Here, there really are things here. People are seeing them."
