Initial data
Date: Friday, May 29, 2009
Time: 6:15 a.m.
Location: Thames, North Island
Features/Characteristics: large white glowing ball
Description:
The duration of aiming is about 30 seconds. The sky is clear, there is no wind, it is still dark.
The witness was sitting on the terrace, drinking coffee before work and looking at the morning sky. Looking to the west, the witness, a nurse, noticed a white light flying over the town of Thames. "He appeared suddenly out of the dark starry night."
It was moving at an estimated speed of 80 km/h and at a distance of 600 to 800 feet. He appeared suddenly out of the dark starry sky and quickly moved to the right of the witness's field of view, to the northeast. It was low, moving over the roofs and treetops in the town.

Description:
Duration of sighting approx 30 seconds. Sky clear, no wind, still dark.
The witness was sitting on her decking having a coffee before going to work, and watching the early morning sky. Looking west, the witness, a nurse, observed a white light heading over the township of Thames. “It appeared suddenly out of the dark starry night.”
It was moving at an estimated speed of 80 kmh, and at an estimated distance of 600 to 800 feet away. It appeared suddenly out of the dark starry sky, and moved quickly to the right of the witness’s vision, to the northeast. It was low, moving above the rooftops and across the tops of trees in the township. She lost sight of it beyond taller trees and two storied houses.
The light, although bright, was a distinct round shape, as opposed to a radiant light, such as a streetlight or an aircraft’s landing lights. As a comparison, the light appeared roughly the size of a golf ball, when held at arm’s length. There was no sound associated with the light, and no flashing/strobing lights.
