Kaitaia UFO… an encounter in the Far North?

Posted by Greta Simpson on August 30th, 2007

We may be at the bottom of the world, but we’re on the aliens’ radar.

A mysterious, dome shaped object was spotted in the sky on April 28th, 2007, near Kaitaia in the Far North if New Zealand. Our buddies at UFO Focus New Zealand have taken a look at photographs of the as-yet-unidentified-flying-object and declared that the object seems to be a craft, a view backed up by an international expert. Dr Bruce Maccabee said the craft appeared to be of a circular shape, with a dome shaped top.

The lucky onlooker who captured the UFO photos watched the UFO for five minutes as it manoeuvred north, before eventually disappearing. Adding to the ‘mystery’ factor, there were no scheduled flights in the area at the time and the Carter Observatory has ruled out the possibility that it could be a meteorite or space junk.

While there’s no comment on whether the photos may be a hoax, the series of images would have required hours of work to pull off. Until further information comes to light, Northland’s unexplained flying object remains (officially) a UAP, or Unusual Aerial Phenomenon.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for other odd things in the sky…

    These are supposed to be photographs of an ‘object’(?!) One that “seems to be a craft” at that! And… ‘Verified’ by an ‘international expert’ no less! Wow! What baloney! Hats off though, to all those ‘lucky’ witnesses of the mystery ‘object’ / ‘craft’ - if only for the sheer talent it must take for them to go through their lives with such debilitating, creative blindness at their disposal. For their simple mindedness and opacity of thought that is required for mastering this remarkable ability to not just conjure up, but actually be able to ’see stuff’ where none exists! Pray…from which angle whatsoever, does either of the two images linked here, come even close to being mistaken for an actual ‘craft’ (terrestrial or otherwise)? These photos reveal nothing besides the purely phantasmical incredulity of desperate minds, having nothing better to look forward, other than to yearn for the singularly sad little ambition of achieving two-bit notoriety and a pathetic sobriquet of being a bon-a-fide ‘hoaxter’! Tchh! Tchh! Depressing indeed.

    I have seen two of those objects last week in Kaitaia at night. it was real awesome to see these objects, I wonder what the stuff they wore.
    It was about the same time as the space shuttle left the space station to Earth. Could the Aliens be observing us? and our space technology?
