An hour-long meeting late at night on a South Canterbury country road convinced the TEW family from Temuka that unidentified flying objects did exist.
Mr and Mrs Ken TEW yesterday described how a multi-coloured flying object strode above them along Waitohi street in the early hours of July 12, approaching their car within 120 yards (108M) and changing colour as it moved.
Mr TEW, a motor mechanic, said that before meeting them they had always been open about UFOs, but now they were convinced that such phenomena existed.
Mrs TEW said that by the hour of night, the maneuvers and the proximity of the object, they knew it wasn't a plane.
While Mrs TEW was terrified of the collision and wanted to drive faster, her husband wanted her to stop on the side of the road to get a better view of the object.
They were returning to Temuka from pleasant point with their three daughters.
Mrs TEW, who was driving, said she thought the light was reflected on the wet Windows. But by rolling down the window, the couple could still see the object clearly.
They said he appeared to be approaching the car, then stopped abruptly about 200-300 meters away, then changed direction and started walking on the car.
"The sight itself didn't scare me, but the car's speedometer told the story of how my wife felt," Mr TEW said.
"When we opened the car window and the object came closer to the car, we had never seen it before. There was no noise, and it was quite obvious that it was a controlled flying object."
Both Mrs TEW and her eldest daughter were intrigued by what appeared to be a "... eight" shape that appeared to be outside the facility.
When moving, it seemed to be followed by a fan-shaped tail of Golden-red color, but the "tail" was not visible when it was stationary.
Finally, the object "shot" to the East.
According to Mr and Mrs TEW, it didn't seem to move between two points - "all of a sudden it happened somewhere else."
Mr TEW said that when he returned home, he wrote down everything he could remember while the incident was still fresh in his mind.
TeV said that after reaching Temuki, they followed the UFO, which was still changing color to the East of the city, towards the sea.
After giving up the chase, they returned home, and the couple said when they looked up. the object hovered above them at an altitude of about 1,000 feet.
Mr TEW said yesterday that although they were spotted two weeks ago, his wife saw another strange light in the sky just three nights ago.
Until yesterday, the TEWS did not know that the shape and colors of the object they claimed to have seen were almost identical to a detailed UFO sighting in Illinois, America, in 1952.
During this observation, a nurse, Ms. Ann Song, described a ship of similar shape, with Windows on the sides and the same reddish color as the object.

“UFO paced us, Temuka family says”

An hour-long late night encounter on a South Canterbury back road has convinced the Thew family of Temuka that unidentified flying objects do exist.
Mr and Mrs Ken Thew yesterday described how a multi-coloured flying object paced them along the Waitohi Road in the early hours of the morning of July 12, approaching to within 120 yards of their car and changing colours as it went.
Mr Thew, a motor mechanic, said they had always had an open mind on UFOs before their encounter, but were now convinced such phenomena existed.
Mrs Thew said they knew by the hour of the night, the manoeuvres and closeness of the object that it was not an aeroplane.
While Mrs Thew was frightened by the encounter and wanted to drive faster, her husband wanted her to pull over to the roadside to get a better view of the object.
They were returning to Temuka from Pleasant Point with their three daughters.
Mrs Thew, who was driving, said she thought the lights were a reflection on the wet windows. But after winding down the window, the couple could still clearly see the object.
They said it seemed to be approaching the car, then abruptly stopped about 200 to 300 metres away, then changed direction and began to pace the car.
“The sight itself didn’t frighten me, but the car’s speedo told the story of how my wife felt,” Mr Thew said.
“When we opened the car window and the object came closer to the car, it was something we had never seen before.
There was no noise and it was quite apparent this was a controllable flying object.”
Both Mrs Thew and her eldest daughter were intrigued by what seemed like the shape of a “… a figure eight” which seemed to be outside the object.
In movement, a fan-like tail of golden-red colour appeared to follow it, but the “tail” was not visible when it was stationary.
The object finally “shot away* towards the east.
It did not seem to move between two points, according to Mr and Mrs Thew — “suddenly it was just somewhere else.”
Mr Thew said that as soon as he got home he wrote down all he could recall while the incident was still fresh in his memory.
The Thews said thai after reaching Temuka they followed the UFO, which was still changing colours to the east of the town, towards the sea.
Giving up the chase, they returned home, and the couple said when they looked up. the object was hovering above them at an altitude of about 1000ft.
Mr Thew said yesterday that although their sighting had been a fortnight ago, his wife had seen another strange light in the sky only three nights ago.
The Thews were unaware until yesterday that the shape and colours of the object they claimed to have seen were almost identical with a detailed UFO sighting in Illinois, America, in 1952.
In that sighting a nurse, Mrs Ann Sohn, described a similar shaped craft, complete with windows along the side and the same reddish colour to the object.
