Huge object spotted over Dargaville
DARGAVILLE, Wednesday (OS).- "Strange and frightening" was the description given by a group of six Dargaville women who last night around 9:50 saw a huge rocket-like object slowly gliding over Dargaville. It was moving from the direction of Vangarelle and disappeared in the direction of the west coast.
Women returning from singing practice were struck by the slowness of the object's flight and its relatively low altitude. It was shaped like a rocket, it was yellow in front, and behind it-a bright emerald green. It was noticed that something similar to a flame bursts out of the end of the object, which illuminates the countryside through which he was traveling.
"It was definitely scary," one of the women commented this morning.
This was also seen by a resident of Hoklang Road. He was asleep at the time, but the bright light created by the object woke him up and forced him to rush outside to see what caused the lighting. The object disappeared behind the hillside in such a way that he thought he had dived into the ground.
An immediate inspection of the area did not reveal any signs of the object.

Huge object seen over Dargaville
DARGAVILLE, Wednesday (O.C.). - "Weird and frightening" was the description given by a party of six Dargaville women who saw a huge rocket-like object glide slowly over Dargaville at about 9.50 o'clock last night. It travelled from the direction of Whangarel and disappeared in the direction of the west coast.
What amazed the women, who were returning from singing practice, was the slowness of the object's flight and its relatively low altitude. Rocket-shaped, it was yellow in front, followed by bright emerald green. What appeared to be flames were seen leaping from the end of the object, which illuminated the countryside over which it travelled.
"It was definitely frightening," commented one of the women this morning.
A resident in Hoklanga Road also saw it. He was asleep at the time but the bright light created by the object woke him up and caused him to rush outside to see what had caused the illumination. The object disappeared over the hillside in such a manner that he thought it had dived into the ground.
An immediate search of the locality failed to reveal any sign of the object.
