New Zealand

Date: Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Time: from 22:00 to 22:30.

Location: Titirangi, Auckland, North Island

Features/Characteristics: V-shaped arrangement of lights

Description:

The duration of the observation is one minute. The sky is very clear, a growing moon, stars.

The witness was outside at about 22:00 and was looking at the night sky through a Bagish 6 Gen 2 night vision monocular. He noticed a V-shaped formation of lights (green due to night vision), which he at first thought could be a flock of birds. However, he realized that the formation was probably at a high altitude. It kept its exact shape, without any changes in speed or shape. It was impossible to see this formation with the naked eye.

With the help of a monocular, the witness watched as the formation crossed the entire sky and disappeared in the distance. He stated:

"I had night vision goggles, and I've been actively watching the sky for many years, and I've never seen anything like this in all that time."
