Time: 5:45 a.m.

Location: Stratford, North Island

Features/Characteristics: a small bright ball emits a powerful light

Description:

The duration of aiming is approximately 5 – 8 seconds. Slightly foggy early morning conditions; it's dark, there's no wind.

Early in the morning, the farmer left the farm building and headed for the main house. It was pitch dark, but suddenly it became very light. She looked around, expecting to see the moon with clouds crossing in front of her, but there was no moon in the sky. Instead, she saw a very bright aerial light/object about 40 yards away from her and about 30 feet above the ground above the tool shed. The lamp was about the size of a basketball or beach ball and emitted a powerful light that flashed on and off, and it had a "real pulse." The central light/object itself was very bright, but blurred around the circumference and emitted a bright glow over the outbuildings.

As soon as the farmer realized this, the light quickly rose a short distance, "shot to the left, zigzagged towards the paddock, shot to the right, quickly returned to the starting position, then shot up." and disappeared."

In an interview, the farmer described herself as a practical and down-to-earth person. She described how at first she didn't feel any fear, thinking the light was the moon, however she noted that as soon as she noticed the strange light, it quickly shifted from a hovering position to a sequence of rapid and erratic movements before "disappearing". She stated that it seemed to her that the light/object was "intelligent" and seemed to be "watching" her and the outbuildings.

The witness stated that the farm is located at the end of a remote valley and not far from the Waitara River. Other farmers in the area also witnessed strange lights hovering and moving over nearby hills. One evening at about 17:30, the witness and her husband saw a strange multitude of lights over the hills. The central white light was surrounded by a blinking, moving, flickering pattern of white light in the sky. She described it as similar to Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in appearance. They watched this array for 5 or 6 seconds before it suddenly "turned off".

Features/characteristics: small bright orb emits powerful light

Description:

Duration of sighting approx 5 – 8 seconds. Slightly foggy early morning conditions; dark, no wind.

A farmer was walking out of a farm building early in the morning and was heading to the main house. It was pitch black, but suddenly it became very light. She looked behind her expecting to see the moon with clouds crossing in front of it however there was no moon visible in the sky. Instead she saw a very bright airborne light/object some 40 yards away from her, and some 30 feet off the ground above the implement shed. The light was roughly the size of a basketball or beach-ball and was emitting a powerful light that blinked on and off and had “a real pulse to it.” The central light/object itself was extremely bright but blurred around the circumference, and emanated a bright glow over the farm buildings.

As soon as the farmer became aware of it, the light rapidly ascended a short distance, “shot to the left, zig-zagged as it moved towards a paddock, shot to the right, moved quickly back to its original position, then shot upwards and disappeared.”

When interviewed, the farmer described herself as a practical down-to-earth person. She described how she did not initially feel any fear, thinking that the light was the moon, however she noted that as soon as she became aware of the strange light, it rapidly moved from a hovering position to a sequence of rapid and erratic movements before ‘disappearing’. She stated that she felt as if the light/object was ‘intelligent’ and seemed to be ‘observing’ her and the farm buildings.

The witness stated that the farm is situated at the end of a remote valley and is close to the Waitara River. Other farmers in the area have also witnessed strange lights hovering and moving over the nearby hills. One evening at around 5.30 pm, the witness and her husband saw a strange array of lights over the hills. A central white light was surrounded by a flashing, moving, flickering pattern of white light in the sky. She described it as similar to the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in appearance. They observed this array for 5 or 6 seconds before it suddenly “switched off’.”
