Initial data
Moving very fast, no sound, changing direction. From one end of the night sky to the other in 11 seconds. This is my first UFO sighting.
December 27, 1998, around 4: 38 a.m. Christchurch, New Zealand. I love astronomy and often get a good look at the stars on a clear night. I'm not a fanatic of religion or UFOs, and I never thought I'd see anything like this. My girlfriend saw this for a short time after I quickly woke her up. I was in bed at 4: 30 in the morning, but I felt satisfied. As usual, we noticed a satellite somewhere in the sky. Sometimes I look out the window for a pillow, sometimes I don't.
Then I saw a flash of bright white light. as bright as one of the brightest stars. It was more like a pulse, though. There was no sound. It seemed very high. But everything was moving very fast! 3 pulses, every 2 seconds when moving rapidly in the forward direction. Then a pause of about 3-4 seconds and two more bright white pulses going in a slightly different direction.
Not a satellite ... The satellites move much slower and reflect constant orange light. And move in a straight line. Not a plane… No sound, driving too fast, no red or green tail lights, fenders or headlights, etc. It flew almost at the speed of a meteorite or object (such as a shooting star) entering the atmosphere. Travel from one side of my large window to the other in 10-11 seconds. But it was a pulse, like a searchlight, pulsing rapidly in different directions.
No reflection in the window… Nothing was connected or turned on in our bedroom. I could almost see it when it wasn't"pulsing". Black and much larger than any satellite I've ever seen.
I shouted ((Name removed)) wake up without taking your eyes off the scope. she woke up in time to see the last pulse. She said:
"Wow, a bright flash!»
That's all. I wanted to run outside, but I was stuck looking in the direction of the last visible pulse. Talked about it with ((Name removed)) 20-30 minutes. Then she fell asleep about 45 minutes before me.
I have no conclusions. Just that it was the most unusual thing I've ever seen in 20-23 years of observing the night sky. And it happened exactly as I say here.

Summary: Moving extremely fast, no sound, changed direction. >From one end of the night sky to the other in 11 seconds. —————- my first U.F.O. sighting —————– 27th December, 1998. approx 4:38 am. Christchurch, New Zealand. I love astronomy and often have a good look at the Stars on a clear night. I’m not a fanatic about religion or UFO’s and never thought I’d see anything like it. My girlfriend witnessed it briefly, after I woke her up quickly. There I was lying in bed at 4:30am awake, but feeling content. As usual spotting a satellite here and there in the sky. Sometimes looking out the window behind my pillow, sometimes not. ————————————————– Then I saw a flash of bright white light. as bright as one of the brightest stars. Although, it was more like a pulse. There was no sound. It seemed very high up. But it moved really fast ! 3 pulses, each 2 seconds apart, while moving fast in a straight direction. Then a pause of about 3-4 seconds and two more bright white pulses going in a slightly different direction. ====================================================== Not a satellite… Satellites move much slower, and reflect constant orange light. And move in a straight line. Not a plane… No sound at all, moving too fast, and no red or green tail lights, wing lights or head lights etc. It was traveling almost at the speed of a meteorite or object (like a falling star) entering the atmosphere. Traveling from one side of my large window view to the other, in the space of 10 – 11 seconds. But, it was a pulse like a spotlight, quickly pulsing in different directions. Not a window reflection… There was nothing electrical plugged in or switched on in our bedroom. I could almost see it when it wasn’t “pulsing”. Black and much larger than any satellite I’ve ever seen. I yelled at ((Name deleted)) to wake up, not taking my eye off the sighting. she woke up in time to see the last pulse. She said “wow a bright flash ! ” ==================================================== That’s all. I felt like running outside, but I was stuck staring in the direction of the last visible pulse. Talked with ((Name deleted)) about it for 20 – 30 minutes. Then she fell asleep about 45 minutes before I did. I have no conclusions. Just, that it was the most unusual thing I’ve ever seen in 20 – 23 years of night sky watching. And happened exactly like I say here. Faithfully. ((Name deleted)). ( age 33 ) P.S. this is true. I would never ever make up a story like this. ( unless someone was going to give me a million dollars Sorry…. bad joke. ( the “million dollar” part )
