- Dear Brian.
-
- My family and I witnessed a strange light in the sky
tonight. We were attending the annual new years eve fireworks display as
we do every year and as per usual could not find a suitable vantage point
to sit back and enjoy the display. After an hour of searching we eventually
found a reasonably secluded road behind a large sporting field, parked
and waited for the 9:30 show to begin.
-
- After the fireworks began I noticed a bright, deep orange
light to the right of car about 45 degrees in the sky. It was slightly
larger than a normal star.
-
- After a few minutes I noticed that it was rising very
slowly, I could see this using telephone wires as a point of reference.
-
- As it got higher in the sky it began pulsing on and off
in time with each fireworks explosion. That's when we all got out of the
car to watch it. Every time a firework lit up the sky the light would dim
right out...then slowly brighten back up. All this time it was moving across
the sky and getting closer to the fireworks area. That's when we could
see a faint shape attached to the light. It was too far away to see but
we could all make it out. The shape was about three times the size of the
light.
-
- It seemed to pass directly over the fireworks area and
head out towards the sea. By this time the fireworks display sent up it's
last few starburst rockets. As they went off we saw multiple orange lights
maybe 8-10 all flash together. This was not part of the fireworks explosion
as these lights went on and off multiple times in exactly the same position
of the sky where the first object was headed.
-
- My whole family can't stop talking about whatever it
was....I think they enjoyed the UFO more than the Fireworks.
-
- Additional Information:
-
- Hi Brian.
-
- First up I'll try to answer your questions.
-
- Q. - How long you were able to observe the light for
- A. - The whole event lasted 15 minutes.
-
- Q. - Also can you tell me what the weather conditions
were that evening?
- A. - No wind, clear sky, no clouds.
-
- Q. - In what part of the sky was the UFO located? North,
South, East, West? On the horizon or straight overhead or somewhere
in between? Which direction did it head off to ?
-
- A. - The object first appeared stationary about 2 o'clock
above the horizon in the West. It then moved upwards to about 12 o'clock
and began moving East in a straight line out to sea.
-
- Q. - Were you able to see any aircraft in the area when
this was taking place ?
- A. - No other aircraft were in the area. We phoned the
airport/coast guard/paper to confirm this the next day.
-
- Q. - Are you aware of anyone else seeing this ?
- A. - No one else reported sighting the object other than
the four of us.
-
- Q. - Can you please tell me what shape you saw ?
- A. - It was hard to make out but my daughter and I
both thought it was triangular. (see pic)
-
- Q. - If there is anything else that comes to mind, please
write it in.
- A. - Only that we are amazed at the amount of people
that were there on the night that no-one else saw it. This could be due
to the fact that we chose a different vantage point to watch the fireworks
than anyone else. Where we were parked there were no other cars or people
watching. I also got the feeling that these objects were observing the
display. Especially at
- the end when they all flashed in sync...it looked like
they were putting in there own light show for us.
-
- Seeing I have a background in animation I have
re-created EXACTLY what we witnessed on the night. The behavior of the
object it EXACT. I have included some animation and some pictures.

recreation of the playing field area where we were parked.

detail.

-
-
- Below - "fig03" - Reconstructed view from
my window looking to the west where the object first appeared. This is
EXACTLY what I first saw. Just under the power lines and it remained
stationary for about 5 minutes.
-
-
-
-
- Below - "fig04" - This is what the fuzzy shape
looked like that appeared above the light. This was only visible as it
approached the carnival area. Maybe it was lower in the sky at this stage
and picking up some ambient lighting.

object disappeared over the horizon in their direction.

- Took me all day to do it but I had to get the experience
out of my head.
