New Zealand

Date: Saturday, September 15, 2007

Time: is unknown

Location: Vitianga, Coromandel Peninsula, North Island.

Features/Characteristics: "faceted" object; daytime aiming

The day was fine and sunny with a few clouds. The witness was looking southwest from Vitianga, towards Koroglen, when he noticed an unusual object in the sky. It had an unusual shape and moved about twice as fast as the Cesna aircraft. There was no sound associated with the sight.

The front or front side of the object was not very long and was described as a "nose cone", but it was not smooth and rounded like an airplane. A witness described it as "gray, short and jagged — like a giant piece of flying coal! Its entire front part seemed to be faceted, like the faceted facets of a precious stone."

The object flew smoothly and confidently to the northeast to the location of the witness in the village. He watched the object fly into a small cloud and expected it to reappear in a second or two. The witness waited a few minutes and closely watched the cloud, but the object did not come out of it. The witness was puzzled by this event. He went inside and tried to draw an unusual object, but could not satisfactorily recreate its unusual faceted appearance.

Date: Saturday 15 September 2007

Time: unknown

Location: Whitianga, Coromandel Peninsula, North Island

Features/characteristics: ‘faceted’ object; daytime sighting

Description:

The day was fine and sunny with a few clouds. A witness was looking to the southwest of Whitianga, towards Coroglen, when he noticed an unusual object in the sky. It was a peculiar shape and was moving at about twice the speed of a Cesna aircraft. There was no sound associated with the sighting.

The front or leading side of the object was not very long, and was described as being like a ‘nose cone’, but it was not smooth and rounded like that of an aircraft. The witness described it as, “grey, stubby and jagged – like a giant piece of flying coal! The whole front of it appeared faceted like the faceted cuts of a precious stone.”

The object flew on a smooth and steady path northeast towards the witness’s position in the township. He observed the object fly into a small cloud and expected it to emerge again in a second or two. The witness waited several minutes and intently watched the cloud, however the object never emerged from it. The witness was bewildered by this event. He went inside and tried to draw the unusual object, however he found it impossible to satisfactorily recreate the unusual faceted appearance of it.
