Incident date: 
25.01.2010 22:37
Location: 
долина Хиткот, Крайстчерч, Южный остров
New Zealand

Date: Monday, January 25, 2010

Time:  22:37

Location:  Heathcote Valley, Christchurch, South Island.

Features/Characteristics:  bright orange glowing ball

Description:

Clear sky, no wind.

The witness was sitting in his living room and looking out the window when he saw a bright orange glowing ball in the east. It seemed to flicker at the edges like a fireball, or as if it had a softer light at the edges.

The witness ran outside and watched him move from right to left in a straight line until he crossed half of his field of vision. Then he moved back to the right, stood for a few more seconds, and then moved vertically down in a straight line until he disappeared from sight behind the houses. 

The witness described that the light was moving much faster than the plane, but noted that he had never seen any aircraft move "so perfectly down."

Ufocus NZ Comment: 

The witness was able to photograph the object as it moved down. The photo, although taken from afar, shows a bright orange light in the sky.

Original news

Date: Monday 25 January 2010

Time: 10.37 pm

Location: Heathcote Valley, Christchurch, South Island

Features/characteristics: bright orange ball of light

Description:

Clear sky, no wind.

The witness was sitting in his living room looking out the window, when he caught sight of a bright orange ball of light in the east.  It appeared to be flickering around the edges like a fireball, or as if it had softer light around the edges.

The witness ran outside and observed it move from right to left in a straight line, until it had moved halfway across his field of vision.  It then moved back to the right, was still a few seconds, and then moved vertically downwards in a straight line until it was out of view, obscured by houses.  The witness described the light moved much faster than the jet, but commented he had never seen any aircraft move “perfectly downwards like that.”

Ufocus NZ comment: The witness was able to take a photograph of the object as it was moving downwards.  The photograph, although taken from a distance, shows a bright orange light in the sky
