Initial data
Date: November 24, 2007
Time: around 20:00
Location: Oreva, Hibiscus Coast, North Island.
Features/Characteristics: three orange lights enter the cloud bank
The duration of the observation was about 2 minutes. The sky over the land was clear, and partly cloudy over the sea. There were no visible stars or planets that could be confused with the observed light.
At about 20:00, a witness noticed three orange lights that were moving in a constant horizontal formation. The lights traveled over Oreva, from west to east, heading over the sea (approximately from Silverdale to Great Barrier Island). The lights were quite large.
A witness observed the lights moving at a constant speed over the sea below the cloud level. The light to the left of the formation suddenly "zigzagged" at high speed and quickly disappeared from view. The two remaining flames maintained a constant speed and formation and eventually disappeared into a ridge of clouds. The witness described the orange lights as very clearly outlined, not shining.
The witness stated that it was a very quiet evening and that there was absolutely no sound associated with these lights floating overhead and going out to sea. He noted that he usually hears planes at high altitude flying overhead on the way to Norfolk Island, however, there were no other lights associated with these orange lights that would indicate that these are planes.

Location: Orewa, Hibiscus Coast, North Island
Features/characteristics: three orange lights enter cloud bank
Description:
The duration of the sighting was approximately 2 minutes. The sky was clear over land, but partially cloudy out over the sea. There were no visible stars or planets that could be confused with the lights observed.
At around 8 p.m. in the evening, a witness sighted three orange lights, travelling in a constant horizontal formation. The lights were travelling over Orewa, from west to east, heading out over the sea (roughly from Silverdale towards Great Barrier Island). The lights were quite large.
The witness observed the lights travelling at a constant speed, out over the sea and below cloud level. The light on the left of the formation suddenly ‘zig-zagged’ away at high speed, and was rapidly lost from view. The two remaining lights maintained a constant speed and formation, and eventually disappeared into a cloud bank. The witness described the orange lights as very clearly defined, rather than radiant.
The witness stated that it was a very quiet evening, and that there was absolutely no sound associated with these lights passing overhead and out to sea. He commented that he can usually hear planes at high altitude, passing overhead en route to Norfolk Island, however there were no other lights associated with these orange lights that would indicate that they were aircraft.
