UFOs or a rock band rehearsal?

Melbourne, Australia (AP) -- The Australian Air Force began a
UFO investigation today following hundreds of reports of four
multicolored cylindrical shapes hovering over the town of
Bendigo over the weekend.

One explanation was that the unidentified flying objects were
caused by a rock band practising with a laser lighting system,
the air force said.

The air force's command intelligence officer, Flight Lieut.
Brett Biddington, left for Bendigo, 160 kilometres northwest of
Melbourne, to "find out whether there is a natural explanation"
for the UFOs.

Biddington already has interviewed several people who had
reported seeing the UFOs and was eager to have a close look at
some photographs taken by an amateur photographer and Bendigo's
radio announcer, Mike Evans.

Evans's negatives will be submitted for scientific analysis,
possibly in the United States, Biddington said.
