Initial data
Date: first week of November
Time: around midnight
Location: Levin, North Island
Features/Characteristics: easy movement at high speed
Description:
Clear night, lots of stars.
The witness was sitting outside and looking east, towards the Tararua Ranges. He saw a small light flying strictly horizontally at high speed, but not making a sound. It flew from north to south and disappeared from sight in a few seconds. He was high above the ranges.
The witness stated that he had seen many shooting stars, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing. The light maintained constant brightness and intensity, moving from the left edge of the horizon and going out of his field of vision to the far right corner of the horizon.
"If you could imagine a fighter flying by, it would move much faster and be completely smooth, without noise. I think that's what struck me, the lack of noise and the perfect line of movement, otherwise I could explain it. The altitude and flight path of the light was similar to that of a plane flying to Wellington, but having said that, it could not possibly be an airplane because it was silent and moving too fast."
The witness is colorblind and therefore cannot determine the color of the light.
Original news
Date: first week of November
Time: around midnight
Location: Levin, North Island
Features/characteristics: light travelling at high speed
Description:
A clear night, lots of stars.
The witness was sitting outside looking east towards the Tararua Ranges. He saw a small light travelling perfectly horizontally at high speed, but making no sound. It traveled from north to south and was out of sight within a few seconds. It appeared to be high above and beyond the ranges.
The witness stated he has seen plenty of shooting stars before, but this was the first time he had seen anything like this. The light maintained constant brightness and intensity as it traveled from the left of the horizon, moving out of his line of sight on the far right of the horizon.
“If you could imagine a fighter jet passing by, it was moving much faster than that and was perfectly level, with no noise. I think that’s the thing that got me, no noise, and a perfect line of movement, otherwise I could explain it. The height and flight path of the light were similar to what aircraft fly at when flying to Wellington, but having said that, there’s no way it could have been an aircraft because it was silent and moving way too fast”
The witness is colour blind and so could not identify the colour of the light
