Location: 
остров Парапарауму Капити
New Zealand

From behind Kapiti Island, 4 cylindrical green and pinkish blinking objects appeared, which seemed to remain motionless for a while before disappearing behind the island again. 

We were four people who met at my beach hotel on Paraparaumu Beach. When we went out on the balcony to smoke, we noticed a ray of light behind the island of Kapiti. This is not necessarily unusual, as sometimes sea searches and helicopter rescue searches produce similar visual effects. 

However, while standing there discussing why the S&R was called again, we noticed that the color of the light changed from the usual bright white to a low-frequency change of dim, surreal green and pink. 

Gradually, the source of the greenish light seemed to rise from behind the island of Kapiti. At this stage, we could not distinguish the body of the object emitting the light, and could not hear any sounds. The movement of objects was relatively slow. 

When the light changed to pink, we briefly noticed that the pink light source was located behind the green light source, and for a couple of seconds, a huge flattened cylindrical object was visible in front of it. Unfortunately, the pink light beam and the object in front of it synchronously slowly settled behind Kapiti Island. 

The whole spectacle lasted a long time, but judging by the length of the cigarettes smoked, it lasted less than one minute.

Summary: 4 cylinder shaped green and pinkish flashing objects appeared from behind Kapiti Island, seemed to stay static for a short while before disappearing behind the Island again. We were four people having a meeting at my beach front property at Paraparaumu Beach. When we went outside on the balcony to have a smoke, we noticed a beam of light behind Kapiti Island. This is not necessarily unusual as sometimes Sea and Rescue Searches with Helicopters produce similar visual effects. However, standing there arguing why S&R was called out again, we noticed that the colour of the light changed from the usual bright white to an alteration at low frequency of a dull, surrealistic green and pink. Slowly, the source of the greenish light appeared to rise from behind Kapiti Island. At this stage, we could not make out the body of the object emitting the light nor could we hear any sounds. The objects movement appeared to be relatively slow. When the light changed to pink, we briefly noticed that the source of the pink light was positioned behind the source of the green light making a huge squashed cylindrical object in front of it visible for a couple of seconds. Unfortunately, the pink beam of light and the object in front of it synchronously set slowly behind Kapiti Island. The whole spectacle appeared to last a long time, but judging by the length of the cigarettes we smoked, it would have had been lasting for less than one minute.
