Light over Oamaru (New Zealand) · New Zealand
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A clear morning sky, 30 minutes before sunrise. A cluster of flashing lights red, green, white randomly flashing with white sometimes brighter. The light appeared to be stationary, approximately halfway between the ground and apex in south east sky. I first noticed them at approximately 5:45 am till sunrise around 45 minutes later. Once the sun was nearly up, the lights and stars were no longer visible.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126740). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

What would the paper say?
The NZDF released its UFO files in 2010; further records answer to the Official Information Act 1982. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
