Initial data
Date: Thursday, January 1, 2009
Time: around 12:25
Location: Ohop Beach, North Island
Features/Characteristics: large "square" red light
Description:
The duration of observation is about 4 minutes; the sky was clear, no wind, no haze, moon and stars, no clouds.
Six witnesses observed a very large bright red light, almost square in shape. The light seemed "solid", and did not flash like an airplane. There was no noise from the light, and witnesses stated that it was not a signal rocket or fireworks, since it remained in the sky for so long, moved horizontally at a distance and changed direction.
All of them noticed the light, which was first visible at an altitude at which a helicopter or light aircraft could move in the sky, and seemed to be moving in the direction of the observers, leaning slightly or leaning down. Everyone agreed that it was not a plane and they had never seen anything like it before. The light intensity and shape remained the same, although the color changed from bright red to a lighter, almost orange. The light moved at a speed from the sea to the harbor, then moved south, then southwest.
The light "just suddenly disappeared, almost turned around, but suddenly the sky cleared — there was nothing there!"
Original news
Date: Thursday 1 January 2009
Time: approx 12.25 am
Location: Ohope Beach, North Island
Features/characteristics: large ‘square-looking’ red light
Description:
Duration of sighting approx 4 minutes; the sky was clear, no wind, no haze, moon and stars, no clouds.
Six witnesses observed a very large bright red light, almost square-looking. The light appeared ‘solid’, and did not flash like that of a plane. There was no noise from the light, and the witnesses stated it was not a flare or fireworks, as it stayed in the sky for so long, and moved horizontally over distance and changed direction.
They all noticed the light, which was first seen at the height that a helicopter or light aircraft would travel in the sky, and appeared to be moving in the direction of the observers, tilted or slanted slightly downwards. All agreed it was not an aircraft, nor anything that they had ever seen before. The intensity of the light and the shape stayed the same, although the colour changed from a bright red to a lighter almost orange. The light traveled at speed from the sea to the harbor side, then moved south, then southwest.
The light “just suddenly disappeared, almost like it had turned around, but suddenly the sky was clear – there was nothing there!”
