An Australian TV channel reports that it has captured an unidentified flying object over New Zealand.
An official representative of the station said yesterday that the film, bought by British Broadcasting Co. and by CBS, was filmed on Saturday. CBS said it will show the film on its newscast tonight.
Official George Wilson said:
"An oval-shaped object with three stripes around it is clearly visible. At one stage, the film crew saw 25 such objects."
The film was shot on the instructions of a reporter investigating a UFO report by a pilot of a New Zealand airline.
Wilson said that the reporter "saw objects all around him," and described them as " lights in the sky that track the plane and follow it."
Wilson said that the control room at Wellington Airport confirmed that objects other than planes appeared on radar screens during the filming of the seven-minute episode.

MELBOURNE (AP) - An Australian television station says it has filmed an unidentified flying object over New Zealand.
An official at the station said yesterday the film, purchased by the British Broadcasting Co. and the CBS television network, was made Saturday. CBS said it would show the film on its news show tonight.
The official, George Wilson, said: "An oval-shaped object with three bands around it can be seen clearly. At one stage the film crew saw 25 of these objects."
The film was made at the direction of a reporter who was investigating a UFO report by a New Zealand airline pilot.
Wilson said the reporter "saw objects everywhere about him," and described them as being "lights in the sky which tracked and followed the aircraft."
Wilson said flight control at Wellington airport confirmed objects other than airplanes had appeared on radar screens at the time the seven-minute sequence was filmed.
