Initial data
Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Time: 22:45
Location: Hastings, North Island
Features/Characteristics: an object with windows emitting yellow light
Description:
The two witnesses were heading towards Omaha Road (the main road to Hastings from the Flaxmere area). They noticed several lights, which at first were mistaken for a reflection from the dashboard of the car on the windshield. When they drove into Wilson Road, they noticed that the lights were on the right side and at some distance from the car. The lights seemed strange to the witnesses.
They watched as the lights picked up speed and moved parallel to them through neighboring paddocks above the tree line. Now they could make out a dark object in the shape of a round cake mold looming against the background of city lights. Around the center of the object were four rectangular windows that emitted a yellowish light.
The object picked up speed and crossed the road in front of witnesses at an altitude of about 100 feet, and then slowed down. It was at 10:00 48 pm. The object was now above the pens to the left of the witnesses and was partially covered by a row of trees. The driver stopped at the first gap between the trees, and now the object hovered over something like a power pole, barely visible in the dark. One of the witnesses opened the car window, but no sound was heard from the object.
For a moment it seemed that the object was moving towards the car, but it suddenly changed direction and moved back the same way that the witnesses went to Flaxmere, in a smooth, slow descending arc, as if about to land. By this time, the witnesses had left in their car and lost sight of the object among the garden trees in the area. When they got home, they both separately made notes about the meeting.
The next day, they contacted the local Bridge Pa airfield and Skyline to find out if there was anything in the air the night before. They were told that the last plane landed at 19:00 that night, and there were no helicopters at that time. The police did not receive any reports of strange lights in time. The witnesses could not explain the subject.

Description:
Two witnesses were heading towards 0mahu Road (the main road into Hastings from the Flaxmere area). They noticed some lights which at first they thought were reflections from the car’s dashboard onto the windscreen. As they entered Wilson Road, they now noticed that the lights were on the right-hand side and at a distance from the car. The lights seemed peculiar to the witnesses. They watched as the lights gained speed and traveled parallel to them across the adjacent paddocks above the tree line. They could now make out a dark object shaped like a round ‘cake tin’ silhouetted against the city lights. There appeared to be four rectangular windows around the middle of the object, which were emitting a yellowish light. The object gained speed and crossed the road in front of the witnesses at a height of about 100 feet and then slowed. This was at 10:48 p.m. The object was now over the paddocks on the left of the witnesses, and was partly obscured by a row of trees. The driver stopped at the first gap in the trees, and the object was now hovering over what looked like a power pole, just visible in the dark. One witness opened a car window but no sound was heard from the object.
For a moment it looked as if the object would move towards the car but it suddenly changed direction and moved off back the way the witnesses had come towards Flaxmere, in a gentle, slow paced descending arc, as if to land. The witnesses had moved off in their car by this time and they lost sight of the object among the orchard trees in the area. When they reached home they both made notes on the encounter separately.
The next day they checked with the local Bridge Pa Airfield and Skyline to see if there was anything in the air at that time the night before. They were told the last aircraft landed at 7 p.m. that night, and there were no helicopters up at that time. The police had not received any reports of strange lights in time. The witnesses were at a loss to explain the object.
