Initial data
Date: Thursday, January 25, 2008
Time: between 22:00 and 22:15.
Location: Oxford, North Canterbury, South Island
Features/Characteristics: large abnormal light
Description:
The observation lasted a few seconds, but the observers watched the sky for about 5 more minutes. It was dusk, not quite dark.
Two witnesses were outside in the evening air when they saw a large bright white light moving at a speed in a horizontal line from southeast to northwest between the tree line and a nearby mountain range. At first they thought it was an airplane, but realized that the speed of light is much faster than the speed of a conventional airplane, but there is no sound. He disappeared from sight in a thin cloud near the mountains. The observers continued to watch the sky for another five minutes or so, expecting it to reappear from behind the clouds, but it did not happen.
They found this event very unusual. Several stars began to appear in the sky, but observers said they were "far from the size or brightness of the abnormal light."

Description:
The sighting lasted a few seconds, but the observers watched the sky for a further 5 minutes or so. It was dusk, not completely dark.
Two witnesses were outside in the evening air when they saw a large bright white light traveling at speed in a horizontal line from SE to NW between a tree-line and the nearby mountain range. At first they thought it was a plane, but realized the speed of the light was far in excess of a conventional aircraft, and there was no sound. It was lost from view into thin cloud near the mountains. The observers continued to watch the sky for a further five minutes or so expecting to see it emerge from the clouds again, but it did not. They considered the event to be highly unusual. There were a few stars starting to appear in the sky, but the observers stated that they were “nowhere near” the size or brightness of the anomalous light
