UFO SIGHTING REPORT

MOTUEKA
NELSON PROVINCE
SOUTH ISLAND

Summer 1994


Hi,
I have just found your website. It requests any sightings of an anomalous nature to be e-mailed to this address.

My partner, daughter and I were all at a music festival in the countryside of Motueka, Nelson Province, South Island, NewZealand. I can't recall the exact date. It was the summer of 1994. Somewhere between January and March at a place called Orinoco.

This place has a lovely natural amphitheatre of about 2-3 acres of flat lands surrounded by foothills. This particular night my partner and I went to check on our daughter who was asleep in a bed in a van. After that I just sort of glanced up as something caught my eye. There was a series of red lights sort of hanging in the sky at what appeared to be maybe 20 feet or so above the top of the foothill. Our van was parked at the bottom of the small hill. I don't know how high the hills are but, I would say they would take about 1-2 minutes to reach the top, at the most, so not very high. You could call to someone at the top easily and have a conversation. Although music was playing on a sound stage it was way over diagonally from us in another corner of the large paddock we were in. Anyway, I just stood there staring at this thing wondering what it was. It made no noise whatsoever. After what seemed like a minute maybe more, I said to my partner "look at that, what do you think it is?" Dave replied "that's weird, dunno, maybe a UFO." Then we cracked up laughing but, kept looking at it, and saying things about how it can't be helicopter because it wasn't making any noise. No plane could hold itself in a stationery position like this. Time went on. After about maybe 4-5 minutes we said to each other about going and grabbing some other friends to have a look. As soon as we said that, the thing just shot off, noiselessly, it just about disappeared instanteously. That was so freaky but kind of cool as well. We told a few people about it but no one else that we spoke to seen anything as they had all been watching the band.

You may be thinking, musical festival, drugs, etc.,. Well, not in my case. I used to smoke marijuana but stopped about 5 years previously. Also my partner had not been smoking because we had our daughter with us. I don't recall drinking any alcohol either.

Anyway, as I said, this was quite a while ago but, I just thought I would let you know.

Yours sincerely

Thank you Anna For Your Report.

The Phoenix Lights
  - Lynne D. Kitei

During the evening hours of March 13, 1997, thousands of Arizona residents witnessed a mile-long, v-shaped formation of lights flying in the skies overhead. The UFO sightings garnered headline news, catching the attention of both USA Today and the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. One person, however, was not surprised by the appearance of the lights. Dr. Lynne Kitei was simply grateful that a phenomenon she'd been witnessing--and documenting--for months was being validated by the experience of thousands of people statewide. After the incident, Dr. Kitei preferred to stay in the background, anonymously feeding information and video clips to the many news organizations who wanted in on the story. Now, for the first time, Dr. Kitei comes forward to tell her own story. 'The Phoenix Lights' is an exhaustively researched look at the phenomenon, including dozens of astonishing photographs and Kitei's own take on the wider implications of this remarkable event.
