- Description
Text reads 'UFO sightings in the Waikato skies - News'. A little green man in a spaceship that is hovering over Earth says 'Hope we're not too late for the street racing'. Context - The Hamilton Supercar Street Race takes place from Friday 15 - Sunday 17 April, 2011. Strange lights have been illuminating Waikato skies and some residents are pinning it on UFO activity. But astronomers say more mundane meteors or man-made objects are to blame. Auckland Stardome Observatory astronomer Dr Grant Christie said a meteor entered the atmosphere over New Zealand around 11pm on the night of March 29, lighting up the night sky. Dr Christie estimated the fireball to be travelling around 30 and 80km above the earth, describing as one of the brightest observed fireballs above New Zealand since 1999. Observatory spokesperson Gina Dellabarca said the travelling light seen by Mr Kilpatrick was likely caused by the International Space Station (ISS), which is currently manned by six people and orbiting around 350 km above Earth.with the last pass at around 6pm yesterday. It is expected over New Zealand again this Saturday at about 6.30pm. (Waikato Times 14 April 2011)
