Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness
Incident date: 
22.01.2008 22:00
Location: 
Уреверас
New Zealand

Date: Monday, January 22, 2008

Time: 22:00 – 22:15

Location: Ureveras, North Island.

Features/Characteristics: light moves chaotically

Description:

The duration of observation is about 2-3 minutes; a very clear, quiet night with stars and a visible moon.

Two witnesses observed a very bright white light the size of a 1-2 cent coin. At first, the light was relatively close and large in the sky, but it became smaller as it receded into the distance. They described that the light was moving rapidly, usually in a direction from the southeast to the northwest, but as it progressed, it randomly zigzagged across the sky, and this attracted their attention. 

They stopped their flight and filmed the last 60 seconds of the flight with a digital camera, however, they felt that the quality of the film and the movement observed over the last 60 seconds were not a good representation of the entire event they had witnessed. 

The object was lost sight of as it traveled behind hills framed by trees.

Location: The Ureweras, Nth Island

Features/characteristics: light moves erratically

Description:

Duration of sighting approx. 2-3 minutes; a very clear still night with stars and moon visible.

Two witnesses observed a very bright white light about the size of a 1-2 cent piece. The light was relatively close and large in the sky at first, but became smaller as it traveled into the distance. They described that the light was traveling fast in a generally SE to NW direction, but that it zig-zagged erratically in the sky as it progressed, and this attracted their attention. They stopped their ute and captured the last 60 seconds of flight on a digital camera, however they felt that the quality of the film and the movement evident in the last 60 seconds was not a good representation of the whole event that they witnessed. The object was lost from sight beyond as it traveled beyond tree-lined hills.
