Initial data
Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009
Time: Periodically from 2:30 to 5:30.
Location: Over Havelock North / Te Awanga/Clifton, Hawke's Bay, North Island.
Features/Characteristics: colored lights move randomly.
Description:
Clear sky, a few stars. The witness observed the abnormal light for three hours.
She was watching the light from Napier Hill looking south towards Te Mata Peak in the northern part of Havelock and the Clifton area. She described that the light was the size of the tip of her index finger and appeared to consist of three separate lights, clearly red and green. The witness noticed the light for the first time because it was moving erratically in the sky and did not have the flight characteristics of the aircraft.
For three hours, the light moved from behind Te Mata Peak to the east towards Te Awanga and Clifton on the coast. At this time, it will alternately hover and move horizontally in an easterly direction. At some point, the light shifted slightly to the side, fell straight vertically down for a short distance and hovered, moved horizontally after about a minute, and then rose vertically again, as if forming a square shape.
After watching the light for a while, the witness busied himself with other matters and returned about an hour later. The light moved across the sky from behind Te Mata Peak towards Te Avanga in the east. She watched the light again for a while and saw it slowly moving towards Clifton, where it hovered in the sky again. The witness moved away again, and when she returned, the light disappeared. However, she described the horizontal movement of light as slower than that of an airplane, except when the light falls vertically.

Features/characteristics: coloured lights moving erratically
Description:
A clear sky, a few stars. The witness watched an anomalous light over a period of three hours.
She observed the light from Napier hill looking south towards Te Mata Peak in Havelock North, and the Clifton area. She described the light as being as big as the top of her index finger, and appeared to be formed by three separate lights, visibly red and green. The witness first noticed the light because it was moving erratically in the sky and did not have the flight characteristics of an aircraft.
Over a period of three hours, the light moved from beyond Te Mata Peak, eastward towards Te Awanga and Clifton on the coast. During this time it would alternately hover and move position horizontally in an easterly direction. At one point the light moved slightly to one side, dropped straight down vertically a short way and hovered, moved horizontally about a minute later, then ascended vertically again as if forming a square shape.
After watching the light for a while, the witness was occupied by other things and came back approximately an hour later. The light had moved across the sky from beyond Te Mata Peak out towards Te Awanga in the east. She watched the light again for a while and saw it slowly move off towards Clifton, where it hovered in the sky once more. The witness moved away again, and when she returned the light had disappeared. She described the horizontal movement of the light as being slower than that of a plane, however, except when the light dropped vertically.
