Mystery lights 'similar' to 1978 - national | Stuff.co.nz

Mystery lights 'similar' to 1978 - national | Stuff.co.nz: "Mysterious 'orangey and reddish lights' spotted in skies above Napier, Taranaki and Christchurch were a day too late to be Santa's sleigh but could they be UFOs?

Reports of strange objects in the sky on Boxing Day have been made in three separate locations, with the first sighting of the moving orange lights in Taranaki on Sunday night.

However, the Canterbury Astronomical Society is convinced the Christchurch lights were satellites.

In Hawera, Allan White and his family spotted the 'bright orange light' moving towards them about 9.40pm, before heading south.

They watched the light for about five minutes, and once it had disappeared began questioning whether or not it was a UFO.

'I just thought it was a bright orange light in the sky and then it started moving towards us,' Mr White said. 'After it flew past, there were half a dozen adults there, we all considered it could have been a UFO. Nobody had seen anything like that before.'

Each witness could make out flashing lights on the object as it made its way across the sky."
