Initial data
Date: Saturday, January 31
Time: 21:45
Location: North Rototuna, Hamilton, North Island.
Features/Characteristics: triangular object
Description:
Duration of aiming: approximately 30 seconds. A very clear night, stars, windless wind, the moon on the western horizon.
A witness diagram of an object flying over his house.
The witness stood in his garden behind his house and looked up at the night sky. He is used to seeing an ANZ Airbus plane approaching Hamilton International Airport, and is familiar with the movement of aircraft.
He was looking to the northeast when his attention was attracted by two bright white lights moving in tandem (formation). The lights at this stage were moving very quickly on a downward trajectory and quickly disappeared from his view due to tall bushes and a gazebo located at the back of his section. Still looking in the direction where he had last seen the lights, and was about to turn away, he suddenly saw that the lights appeared again, moving in his direction. They continued right over him and over the house, heading north to south over the town of Hamilton. The lights now seemed dimmer than their former brightness.
As the lights moved towards the witness and then moved away from him over the roof of the house, he could clearly see that instead of two lights, as originally assumed, they were actually preceded by the first light. Three light sources were located at three points of one large isosceles object or ship of triangular shape. Each of the lights was the size of a thumbnail held at arm's length.
At the first observation at a high altitude, coming out of the night sky, the lights seemed brighter than a star, but became dimmer when the object passed over its site. The object/ship obscured the stars as it flew over his house towards the brighter lights of the city. The witness was able to clearly distinguish the lower part of the object/ship and its physical form due to the fact that the city lights were reflected from the lower part. It seemed dark/brownish, but this could be due to the reflection of city lights. The observation from the point over which the object passed, and then behind the roof of the house and out of sight, lasted about 15-20 seconds, and during this time there were no changes in speed. The object was completely silent.
He stated:
"The ease of movement with which the ship traveled was very intriguing. More intriguing, however, was the fact that the ship made no noise. There was no noise coming from him. The object demonstrated very smooth controllable flight characteristics.
The witness stated that he had never believed in the existence of UFOs before and was not interested in this issue, but now he is rethinking his views after seeing this unconventional object with his own eyes.
"I felt surprise, awe, amazement and some awe."
Original news
Date: Saturday 31 January
Time: 9.45 pm
Location: Rototuna North, Hamilton, North Island
Features/characteristics: triangular object
Description:
Sighting duration: approximately 30 seconds. A very clear night, stars, no wind, moon down on the western horizon.
Witness’s diagram of the object passing over his house.
The witness was standing in his garden at the rear of his house looking at the night sky. He is used to seeing the ANZ Airbus aircraft making its approach to Hamilton International Airport, and is familiar with the movements of aircraft.
He was facing north east when two bright white lights moving in tandem (formation) caught his attention. The lights, at this stage, were moving very rapidly on a downward path, and quickly became obscured from his view by a stand of high bushes and a pergola situated at the rear of his section. Still looking in the direction he last saw the lights, and on the point of turning away, he suddenly saw the lights reappear, moving in his direction. They continued right above him and over the house, heading on a north to south path over the city of Hamilton. The lights now appeared dimmer than their earlier brightness.
As the lights moved towards the witness, and then away from him above the roof of the house, he was able to clearly see that instead of just two lights as initially thought, they were in fact preceded by a first light. The three lights were positioned at the three points of one large isosceles triangular-shaped object or craft. Each of the lights was about the size of a thumbnail held at arm’s length. When first observed at a great height coming out of the night sky, the lights appeared brighter than a star, but became dimmer when the object passed over his section. The object/craft blocked out the stars as it passed over his house towards the brighter lights of the city. The witness was able to clearly discern the bottom of the object/craft and its physical shape due to the city lights reflecting off the underside. It appeared to be a dark/brownish colour, but this could be due to reflection of city lights. The sighting, from the point the object passed over and then beyond the roof of the house and out of sight, lasted approximately 15-20 seconds, and there were no speed changes in this time. The object was completely soundless.
He stated, “The ease of movement with which the craft traveled was quite intriguing. More intriguing however, was the fact that the craft made no noise. No noise emission, of any kind, came from it. The object exhibited very smooth controlled flight characteristics.
The witness stated that he has never believed before that UFOs exist, and has had no interest in the subject, however he is now re-thinking these attitudes having witnessed this unconventional object with his own eyes.
“I felt surprise, awe, amazement, and some trepidation.”
