The ufo was first spotted above the harbour to the south west of my location. Moved south west down the harbour over South Dunedin then looked like it moved south east up and away.

I'm not saying there isn't any reasonable explanation, I'm just baffled that anything I come up with doesn't seem to fit my observations. Also, I'm interested if anyone else saw it. I rang my flatmate (I was at dinner at a friends house), and he could see it from home. We live near here: [link to maps.google.co.nz (secure)] So he helped me determine where and which way it was going and its height. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 35402302 New Zealand 05/16/2013 06:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't have any video sorry (any that came out at lease). Quoting: Fienx 24170106 Anyone else see it? It looked like a street light. When I first saw it out the corner of my eye it looked very bright and was moving fast and up from the harbour. It then started moving the south west above the city then turned and looked like it was staying still, but it was getting dimmer so it must have been headed off away South East from the city at this stage. It then slowly faded out. It wasn't a plane as far as I could tell; no flashing lights; very uniform colour light (amber-ish/orange-ish); seemed round. Checked through binoculars but still just looked like a flying street lamp bulb. That it moved away from the city to the south-east is odd in that nothing is out that way for 1,000's of kilometers. And if it was a commercial flight of some sort it wouldn't have been that low when I first saw it and move the way it did, up from the low hight in the harbour and away. Any ideas? |
Face Palmer User ID: 39924845 Germany 05/16/2013 06:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | :confusei: "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

Fienx (OP) User ID: 24170106 New Zealand 05/16/2013 07:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you. I hope some one does too. I recorded it with my phone, but won't be able to post it until tomorrow. But it's a very shitty camera so will most likely be useless. Although, since I am posting on a Conspiracy, lunatic fringe, UFO forum, I do expect some flack. I have put in a sighting report form with [link to www.ufocusnz.org.nz] Hopefully they can tell me if anyone else saw it other than myself, my flatmate, my fiancée and my aunty. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 972714 New Zealand 05/17/2013 11:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just found this website. I saw it also. I had just gotten home before 9PM and jumped in the shower. On pulling my curtains in my bedroom I saw this bright orange light. It had shades of rotating white in it also, and it was slowly moving over the hospital. It was very bright. It carried on to the Octogon (looking South) and hovered for at least two minutes right above the centre of the Octogan (or DCC building) at an estimated altidude of 1500 feet, from where it turned left (Eastward) and headed in a south-easterly direction climbing out over the South end of Andersons Bay and carried out to sea. It just got fainter and fainter. I first saw it at 8:55 PM, and went outside to get a better look, where I text my mates at 9:03 PM and watched it dissappear about 9:27 PM. Photos didn't really turn out, as it was distant when I went outside to look at it. Pedestraions were also looking at it, and one Asian lady was filming it on her phone. It was pretty cool! It just went right in front of our place. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1483106 New Zealand 05/18/2013 02:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Otago University is located in Dunedin? Isn't it the country's leading research university? Logic may indicate that if 'visitors' were to visit (oh the pun) that they would establish contacts with staff in such a facility? Especially within medical facilities? |

Tomorrow Today User ID: 40272180 Australia 05/22/2013 03:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A report about mass sightings near Christchurch this month, with video. (Hope I am allowed to post a link to this site :S) Residents at Christchurch, New Zealand were surprised upon seeing mysterious lights in the night skies. One witness said that she and her husband noticed mysterious lights in the night skies of Bryndwr at approximately 8’oclock. She detailed that they were leaving their property at around 8’oclock on Aorangi Road when her husband looked for traffic to south direction. He witnessed approximately 12 lights moving at the same speed. At first, her husband thought they were fireworks but changed his mind when they remained bright orange in colour and moving in formation. The couple saw the lights moving north in two groups. The pair stopped their car engine and went outside to get a better look of the strange lights. They heard no sound coming from the lights as they moved steadily and slowly.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 40862557 New Zealand 05/31/2013 06:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah seen a very bright orange light tonight and last night seen around 10-10:30pm. Kinda hovering around then moving quite fast and definitely not in a identifiably straight line. Would think it was a helicopter but Im sure helicopters dont fly round as a bright orange lights. Would really like to know what it actually is. |
catwoman66 User ID: 1842682 New Zealand 07/28/2013 04:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw it also. I was on the hill in St Clair. I had just returned home as saw it as I was getting out of my car. It was just as you described, the exact same colour as a street light I would say, and quite large. It moved smoothly (wasn't darting around going in and out of vision) and moved in an easterly direction over Waverly and presumably out off the east coast. It was not a Chinese Lantern, and was not a plane. I wonder now if it could have been a helicopter with only a surface floodlight going or something?? I really have no other explanation. |
