Recently we received an email from a concerned reader about strange incidents taking place over the north of the country.

Susan wrote…At four oclock in the morning of Tuesday 25th March we were awoken by enormous flash of blue light followed almost instantly by enormous explosion. 

We rushed outside but could see nothing. The sky was completely clear of cloud and starry.Next day we found our phones were out and the fax machine was fried with burned out components. The power was unaffected.

That night at midnight a loud jet engine noise was heard directly above the building. Very loud and unfamiliar. On rushing outside i saw a large aircraft of a triangular shape directly overhead. It was heading in a north west direction but banked around and headed north gaining altitude very quickly and disappearing over Dome range near Warkworth, Auckland North.

in a very short time, around five seconds. the craft had three red circles or rings of light like neon in a
long triangle with a white flashing light in the centre.

…and what was the situation taking place that Ana sent via Facebook yesterday…

Saw weird meteor like shooting star over Stokes valley approx 7.15 Monday evening 13/05/2013. Orange in colour. travelling approx west to east. Not a plane and not like a normal shooting star or satelitte. Was very cool. Had semblance of a tail and was quite large. Def not reflection of light on clouds

Can you help? Did you experience anything of this nature with either events or know someone who did?
