Initial data
Date: Saturday, January 5, 2008
Time: 23:15
Location: Christchurch, South Island
Features/Characteristics: two indicators blink and fade out
Description:
The viewing duration is about 5 minutes; clear sky; a few stars in the southwest/west.
The witness was looking to the west and observed a very bright white light (much brighter than the brightest star) moving slowly high in the sky, when all of a sudden it became very bright, dimmed to such an extent that it looked like any other bright star, and then simply disappeared. He went inside to call his wife, and they noticed that the light reappeared in about the same place along with a second paler light accompanying it. The brighter of the two lights repeated the same characteristics: it became very bright, and then disappeared. The second light continued to move from west to south before disappearing.

Features/characteristics: two lights pulsing and fading
Description:
Duration of sighting approx 5 mins; clear sky; a few stars in the south west/west.
The witness was looking westward and observed a very bright white light (much brighter than the brightest star) moving slowly high in the sky, when quite suddenly it became very bright, faded to the point where it looked like any other bright star, and then just disappeared. He went inside to call his wife, and they observed the light reappear in roughly the same position along with a second paler light accompanying it. The brighter of the two lights repeated the same characteristics of becoming very bright, and then disappearing. The second light continued to travel from west to south before disappearing.
