Circle over Taranaki (New Zealand) · New Zealand

The report, as filed

Me and my son where driving through a little town called waitara in Taranaki in New Zealand, It was a dark cloudy night, No stars in sight, an there was no body around, not even a car. We where driving up the street an I went to turn left at the Give way ,and I looked up and seen this flying object, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing, I had to look away a few times and looked back up again, and it was still there, moving gliding slowly over the top of houses it was amazing it was perfectly a big round circle, nothing Ive ever seen before in my life, under the graft the lights where bright white overall shapes, it was very close and down low, there was No sound at all coming from this object. My son was screaming with fear in the car, I was trying to get my phone to take a picture as I was driving, I followed behind it and came to a stop on the road, and got out to take the picture as I was running across the road, meanwhile my son was so frighten, I just went on adrenaline and looked up to take the picture, It was gone it just disappeared. We both were in shock for weeks I was afraid to drive at night, my son is now afraid of the dark, he has to sleep with the lights on, I never forget want I saw, we are not alone.
