Initial data
Date: Sunday, December 26, 2010
Time: 22:21
Location: Cambridge, Waikato, North Island
Features/Characteristics: orange light with a golden center
Description:
Clear sky, good visibility. The duration of aiming is 2 minutes.
Two witnesses looked out of their living room window and saw an unusual orange light approaching from the north. Although they are used to seeing a lot of light aircraft around their area, they have never seen anything like this light. The light was noticeably "round", orange and even (not blinking). It glowed golden yellow in the center with a slightly dimmer red-orange outer glow. There was no sound associated with the light.
One witness followed the camera, while the other watched as the light changed direction to the east. They took photographs (in which the object was not captured) and recorded a video on their phone when the light headed east and disappeared from view.
It was difficult to determine the height and distance to the light, but witnesses described it as significantly larger than the background stars, and bright orange-red. At first glance, the light was just a point of light, but it grew larger as it approached and changed direction.

Features/characteristics: orange light with gold centre
Description:
Clear sky, good visibility. Duration of sighting 2 minutes.
Two witnesses looked out their living room window and saw an unusual orange light approaching from the north. Although they are used to seeing a lot of light aircraft around their area, they had never seen anything like this light. The light was noticeable ‘round’, orange, and was steady (not flashing). It was glowing golden yellow in the centre with a slightly duller red-orange outer glow. There was no sound associated with the light.
One witness went to fetch a camera, while the other observed the light change direction to head east. They took still shots (which did not capture the object), and a phone video recording as the light headed east and disappeared from view.
It was difficult to tell the height and distance of the light, but the witnesses described it as significantly larger than the background stars and a bright orange-red. When first sighted, the light was only a pinpoint of light, but it became larger as it approached and changed direction.
