Kaikoura Lights: UFOs Tracked by Radar & Filmed by News Crew!

Our family was camping in a tent on the Wairarapa coast when this happened, my Dad woke us all up at 3.10am and said he just saw a large white ball come up out of a gully in in the Orongorongos in the Remutaka Ranges (he was a hunter and knew those hills well). It rose up slowly and was just floating in one place and then just shot off like a bullet down south to the south island and disappeared. I got up but it was gone. The next morning we heard it reported on the news on our transistor radio as we ate breakfast. I'll never forget it and my Dad always brought it up in conversations as it was utter proof of Aliens as far as he was concerned! I was 10 years old at the time. Thanks Chris, keep up the hard work. Cheers

"Actually 10 eyes" had me spitting Dr. Pepper. Kudos.

I'm originally from NZ and still remember watching this coverage on the tv news when I was a kid. What a blast from the past.

I have vivid memories of watching this on UK news the day after it occurred. I recall one of the reporters saying "I hope they're friendly!". There was also extensive coverage in the British newspapers. I was only a child then, and it reinforced my belief that aliens were visiting the planet Earth. I'm a lot older and sceptical now, but it's good to see this being covered and it remains an intriguing encounter. Keep up the good work, Chris.

I have footage of an identical orb, happy to share it

That is my uncle Lén in the Documentary. My Aunty said they got a visit fróm men in black type people after the insident. She was still afraid to talk about it well into hér 70 s . I was 8 years old at the time and still remember it happening

I know John Gordon RNZAF base commander at Ohakea in 78 he's still alive and lives in our town I asked him about it he chuckled and said that he suggested to the A4 pilots who he described as a lively bunch of lads to go and check it out, none of them did he said as if they were scared to.

I've never heard of this one. I'n my own backyard. Awesome, thanks, Chris.

Hi Chris, in 1952 an incident involving an RAN aircraft of the naval air arm, was joined by a large UFO, which formated on his starboard side, in level flight. This was quickly followed by another UFO on the pilot's port side. The flyer sought advice with regard to these bogeys, and ATC confirmed they had been noted on radar. The aircraft was closely boxed in, requiring very cautious flying on the part of the RAN flight officer. This continued for perhaps 10 minutes, in level flight. Each UFO, in succession, then departed in what was considered thousands of miles an hour to the east. To witness this, was ATC, via radar and visual confirmation, plus the pilot and ground observations. Upon landing, the pilot was thoroughly debriefed by both the RAAF and RAN, as I recall, and a year later, J. Allen Hynek (from project B.B.) Flew out from the states to debrief him further. I can only presume that this was reported as part of the 5 eyes alliance. The arrival and departure of the UFOs happened at astonishing speeds and left the pilot quite frightened and perplexed.

Thanks Chris!
