Description:

Witness Diagram

Two witnesses were driving along Dominion Road, Mount Eden, Auckland, towards the central business district. They noticed a fast-moving object in the air flying from the direction of Mount Eden towards Landscape Road, which they assumed was a police helicopter, as they noticed police cars in the area.

When the witnesses turned right onto a Landscaped highway, it seemed to them that it was not a helicopter, but something large and unusual, completely unlike either a helicopter or an airplane. He was now motionless behind the treetops, and witnesses could clearly see the many lights on the lower part of the object. They described the object as very large — twice the size of a standard helicopter. They described its shape as elongated or round/oval. 

The object remained motionless for a few seconds, and then smoothly began to slide away. The streets were mostly empty at that time, but witnesses noticed two pedestrians who stopped and also silently looked at the object. The witnesses tried to trace the object, but soon lost sight of it. They called the 111 emergency center to see if anyone else had reported seeing the object. and they advised me to call the police for clarification. The witnesses did not want to do this for fear of ridicule.

The object was silent. Eyewitnesses noted that immediately before the observation, the streets became unusually quiet — the traffic flow weakened and became quiet — and it seemed to them that "time stopped for a while." Both witnesses are sure that they will remember this incident for a long time.

Witness’s Diagram

Two witnesses were driving on Dominion Rd, Mt Eden, Auckland going towards the CBD. They observed an airborne fast-moving object coming from the direction of Mt Eden towards Landscape Rd which they assumed was a police helicopter, as they had observed police cars in the area.

When the witnesses turned right into Landscape Rd they felt that the object was not a helicopter, but was in fact something big and unusual – totally different from a helicopter or plane. It was now stationary behind treetops, and the witnesses could clearly see a lot of lights on the underneath of the object. They described the object as very big – twice the size of a standard helicopter. They described its shape as elongated or round/oval. The object remained stationary for a few seconds and then smoothly started to glide away. The streets were mainly empty at the time, but the witnesses noticed two pedestrians who had stopped and were also staring at the object in silence. The witnesses tried to follow the object, but soon lost sight of it. They called the 111 emergency call centre to see if anyone else had reported seeing the object, and were advised to ring police for clarification. The witnesses were reluctant to do this for fear of ridicule.

The object was silent.  The witnesses commented that the streets became unusually quiet just before the sighting – traffic flow dropped off and became quiet – and they felt as if “time had stopped for a while”.  Both witnesses are adamant that they will remember this incident for a long time to come.
