Initial data
Date: Monday, December 31, 2007
Time: 14:59
Location: Lanes Dam, Alexandra, South Island
Features/Characteristics: a gray cigar-shaped object.
Description:
The family was photographing near the Lanes Dam, south-southwest of Alexandra. The sky was clear, clouds stretched over the Old Man Ridge in the distance. Three photos were taken by one of the witnesses looking towards the obelisk (mast) at the landfill. None of the witnesses saw or heard any aircraft during their stay at the dam.
The first photo was taken at 14:59:34, and it depicted two people sitting near trees near the dam. There were no anomalies visible in the sky, however, when magnified, 2 small silver-gray spherical or spherical objects are visible in the photo.
The second photo was taken 2 seconds later at 14:59:36. Now, behind the pines, to the right of the people, a gray cigar-shaped object was visible in the sky.
Upon further examination and magnification of the photo, two small spherical or spherical objects can also be seen in the sky to the left and far to the left of the larger object. Shadows/sunlight on objects, people and other features of the photo correspond to the position of the sun. It seems that three objects are moving from right to left in the camera's field of view, with 2 small objects preceding the larger object.
The third photo was taken 2 seconds later at 14:59:38. Using magnification, a small spherical object can be seen above the pine tree.
ATC confirms that there were no planes in the area at the time of the shooting.

Description:
A family was taking photographs near Lanes Dam, south southwest of Alexandra. The sky was clear with some distant clouds over the Old Man Range. Three photos were taken by one of the witnesses looking towards the obelisk (mast) on the ranges. None of the witnesses saw or heard any aircraft during the time spent at the dam.
The first photo was taken at 2.59.34 pm and showed two people sitting near trees by a dam. There were no anomalies apparent in the sky, however, with magnification, 2 small silver-grey orb-like or spherical objects can be seen in the sky in the photo.
The second photo was taken 2 seconds later at 2.59.36 pm. A grey cigar-shaped object could now be seen in the sky to the rear of the pine trees, at right of the people.
On further examination and magnification of the photo, the two small orb-like or spherical objects can also be seen in the sky to the left and far left of the larger object. The shadows/sunlight on the objects, the people and other features in the photo are all consistent with the position of the sun. The three objects appear to be moving from right to left across the field of view of the camera, with the 2 small objects preceding the larger object.
The third photo was taken 2 seconds later at 2.59.38 pm. Using magnification, a small spherical object can be seen above a pine tree.
ATC confirms there were no aircraft in the area at the time the photos were taken.
