Bet you any money they are model aircraft, by the looks of it, probably rigged with lights and a stabilizing gyro, the can hover on their prop too to account for the stationary periods, all pretty quietly with an electric motor, the duration was said to be about 20mins thats about the endurance of most electric R/C models. There was someone saying there was a buzzing sound like a motor who was close to them. I live right near a model aircraft field (around 1km) and they are maneouvering just like model aircraft look, however at night. I have seen some kids rig up literally hundreds of LED's on some the look pretty impressive!

theres even a haeap of videos of people doing it on you tube however closer than the UFO video

Looks like an electrically powered model plane with lights on it to me.

Caught on film by TV crew: The 1978 Kaikoura UFO sightings , page 1



A Google search will come up with many articles about this event.

My Nelson sighting was about 2 years earlier.

Yes, it would appear he went missing just a few months before the Kaikoura sightings.



(Note: the disappearance of young pilot Frederick Valentich over the Bass Strait south of Melbourne, while he was describing an unidentified object that flew back and forth over his plane, had also attracted immense worldwide interest in October 1978.
This case has been presented by OzWeatherman in this very good thread: AboveTopSecret.com: Conspiracy Theories, UFOs, Politics, and Many Other "Alternative Topics"...)



This is actually mentioned halfway down the first page of my link.

More on Fred V appears here....

Two blokes with RC's in the Barwon common/valley. Went and sussed it out a few weeks ago. Damn good place to fly the things if you are ontop of the hill near West Fyans St, have a entire view of the valley.

I recall that story. Quentin Fogarty use to be with channel 9 Melbourne but may have served with another network at that time. They were up in a hercules. When that footage was examined one frame contained a very squiggly pattern that suggested it was impossible for camera shake to create an image for such a short duration, if my memory serves me correctly.

How about that UFO that shut a China airport the other day HERE

I remember watching it live when it happened. The footage that Quentin Fogarty shot was an event that happened in December over New Zealand a few months after Fred Valentich disappeared in October. He was in an Argosy if I'm not mistaken on a night freight flight to the south island.

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure what was more scary, reading the transcript again or reading the "Armchair" experts in the comment section.

And we thought we had the pinacle of experten here!!

the original post by PALL does not require any further investigation as rumor has it this is the same person who tried to land a C172 inverted some years ago at YBRS and fell short of the runway destroyed the aircraft with pilot and passenger escaping with minor injuries. Coming from the hospital when he says he saw this object is he still suffering some effects of the earlier mishap?

And the real funny part of the Kaikouria incident was when they asked the RNZAF if they could SCRAMBLE and A4 from Ohakea to intercept the "objects" only to be told that it would take 2 hours from the notification to gear up. God help us if we were ever attacked, especially on a Wednesday afternoon (sports day).
