Initial data
Date: Thursday, January 10, 2008
Time: 22:40
Location: Mount Wellington, Auckland, North Island.
Features/Characteristics: red cigar-shaped light
Description:
west wind; some stars and clouds.
The observer looked at the sky directly above him and noticed what he thought must be a very large red shooting star moving very fast from the southwest. However, he realized that the red light was actually elongated (cigar-shaped) and glowing. It moved erratically along its path, changing direction and zigzagging before quickly disappearing to the southeast. The witness described the speed of light and its rapid changes of direction as follows:
"Phenomenal speed — no object can move so fast. It flew away."
