We went to see a house decorated with Christmas lights in West Auckland, on Christmas Eve around 21: 00. Moving away from the traffic light, I noticed two red circles in the southeast. I pulled over to the side of the road and signaled to our family in the car ahead for them to stop. We have all witnessed two slowly moving red lights the size of a pinhead, one behind the other. 

At first we thought they were helicopters, but there were no navigation lights and no sound was heard. They flew together for a short time, then one changed course. We all joked that they were checking out the house of lights, and my dealer assumed that it was Santa who arrived with Rudolph! 

When someone disappeared into the western sky, he no longer glowed, but seemed to be the constant red light of a pinprick. We kept seeing them as we went to inspect the house, and when my husband and I returned to East Auckland, we noticed the lights again - this time two next to each other and one on top. We quickly looked for a safe place to stop the car, but they disappeared. 

The Auckland Herald also reported strange lights over Tauranga that night, but police had no reports of other sightings. I have not reported our observations, except on this site.

Summary: We were driving to view a house festooned with Christmas Lights in West Auckland on Christmas Eve around 9pm. As I proceeded from the traffic lights I noticed two red circles to the south-east. I pulled to the side of the road and signalled to other our family in the car ahead to pull over. We all witnessed two slow moving red lights about drawing pinhead size, one behind the other. At first we thought they were helicopters but no navigational lights were visible and there was no audible sound. They flew together for a short time then one changed course. We all joked that they were checking out the house of lights and my d-i-l suggested it was Santa arriving with Rudolph! As one faded into the western sky it no longer glowed but appeared as a pinprick constant red light. We continued to see them as we walked to view the house and as my husband and I returned to East Auckland we spotted the lights again – this time two side by side and one on top. We quickly searched for a safe spot to stop the car but they had disappeared. The Auckland Herald also reported strange lights over Tauranga the same night but the Police had no reports of other sightings. I did not report our sighting other than to this site.
