UFO Sighting Report - New Zealand

1984 : North of New Plymouth, Taranaki


UFOINFO Sighting Form Report

Location: North of New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand

Date: Month? Day? Year 1984 or 1985. The sighting was a long time ago, but I know it was reported in the local New Plymouth newspaper

[Date confirmed as 1984 in interview with Brian Vike (see below).

Approach Direction: Came from many directions high in the sky

Departure Direction: Vanished at close range (aprox 100 meters)

Witness Direction: Southwest

Description: I and a friend (who I have lost contact with) were waiting at the side of the road, approx. 1 hr north of New Plymouth (we had a motor cycle puncture, other friends had gone to get help). As the light faded and the night grew dark, we notice an intense white spot moving across the sky. Over a period of about one hour, the spot move in a number of direction high in the sky. At times the light spot would move slowly and speed up into a blur and vanish. At some point, I had this strange feeling, I looked up at a house behind me that was located on a hill abut 100 meters away. The house was shrouded by fog and above the house hovered a large disk of light. There was no sound, but a white cone type beam (wide at the top, narrow at the bottom) was scanning the roof of the house. I looked back at my friend and asked him if he saw the same thing and he seemed very scared. I looked back at the house and the object has disappeared. In the local newspaper (I can't remember which one) the next day, many people reported sighting the object. To this day, I can't rationalize what I experienced. At the time of the sighting I was living in New Zealand working on the Maui offshore gas rig. I now live in Long Beach/Los Angeles, California, and work for the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal. EPA). I would like to hear from people and find out more information on what happened on that night. I have never forgotten the experience, and to this day I believe what I saw was real and not man made. Any further information would be greatly received.

Color/Shape: White, round, cone shaped beam of light comming out of center

Height & Speed: very high to 50 meters off ground. Acceleration was very fast. Object became a blur on a number of occasions.

TV/Radio/Press: I did not report the incident, but I know it was reported in the local Taranaki newspapers. I can't remember exactly, but it was either 1984 or 85?

Audio Interview: 19 Minutes 45 seconds

Celestial Secrets: The Hidden History of the Fatima Cover-Up

- Joaquim Fernandes

Did the Jesuits conceal evidence of alien contact at Fátima? The Fátima incident was the most exceptional religious event of the 20th century. In 1917, three Portuguese children encountered a radiant woman, who told them three secrets about the fate of the Earth. During 'The Miracle of the Sun,' the solar orb was seen to dance in the sky by thousands of awestruck onlookers who flocked to Fátima. The apparitions were presumed to be a case of divine intervention in human affairs, a sign from Heaven that the world war then raging in Europe would soon come to an end. A shrine sprang up at Fátima that drew millions of believers, and a myth grew that the Fátima prophecies would one day be fulfilled as a testament of faith in a secular age. In 1978, Portuguese historians Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d'Armada were given unprecedented access to the original records of the Fátima incident, which had been held secretly by the Church in archives located at the Sanctuary of Fátima since 1917. In Heavenly Lights - a work hailed by the Fortean Times (UK) as 'priceless' - Fernandes and d'Armada explored the many intriguing linkages they discovered in the secret archives between the apparitions of Fátima and the worldwide UFO phenomenon. Here, for the first time, they tell the esoteric history of the 'cover story' concocted by the Church in 1941, which has both shaped our modern view of the Fátima incident and obscured its true significance as the first major close encounter case of the 20th century. At the heart of the matter, they reveal, lies a conspiracy by the Jesuits to suppress the fact that the entities encountered by the children at Fátima were not deities descending from Heaven but rather alien beings visiting our planet from 'elsewhere' in the vast Cosmos.
