Profile: Graeme Opie

  • Aviation Consultant
  • Sighting investigator

Graeme is the Senior Air Traffic Controller responsible for the daily operation of the control tower at Hamilton International Airport. His interest in the UFO phenomenon began in the 1970’s, and was reinforced by his fellow controllers’ experiences in the Wellington Air Traffic Control Centre during the time of the ‘Kaikoura Lights Sightings’ in December 1978. Since then he has read widely on ancient history and artifacts, and associated unexplained mysteries on our planet and in our skies. This, along with his sighting of a UFO from the Hamilton control tower in March 1995, has led to his present involvement with UFOCUS NZ.
