I was out on Sunday night about 6 -6.30 and on the way home with my two girls we spotted something falling in the sky. It was at the same level in the sky and close to the moon falling in a horizontal line east. We all commented on it and drove down the strret to see what was going to happen, their was no visible trail behind it. Houses in the way meant we didn’t see where it ended. It was the strangest thing,, quite exciting,,, its a ufo I told the girls.. No way was it a plane, as there were no flashing lights and because of the step desent it was taking. We live in Milton, 40 minutes south of Dunedin.

Obviously a vapour trail from a jet flown by an extremely drunk pilot!

We saw this in Blenheim heading North to South was just like it fell out of the sky a bright ball that looked on fire and left a trail of smoke behind it about 6.30pm
