| Suzanne's interest in the UFO phenomenon was sparked when she had her first UFO sighting at the age of eight, along with her family, of a glowing orange, cigar-shaped object hovering over the Bombay Hills, south of Auckland. It was sighted by hundreds of people and was reported the next day in the national newspaper, the New Zealand Herald.
Suzanne has 35 years experience in UFO research and sighting investigations. She began seriously researching UFO's and related phenomena in 1975, and has lectured nationally and internationally at UFO conferences and groups for 16 years. She established UFOCUS NZ in 2000 to contribute to the growing public interest in UFO's, and other related topics, and to provide a comprehensive UFO sighting investigation service to New Zealand nationwide. Suzanne networks worldwide with researchers and investigators, authors in the UFO field, and other professionals and scientists researching these phenomena. As well as lecturing internationally, she has published articles in overseas UFO magazines, contributed to documentaries and books on the topic, and is working on writing her own book at present.

Graeme retired in March 2009 from his position as Senior Air Traffic Controller 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. Professional:

Brendon’s interest in the UFO phenomenon first began during the Gisborne UFO flap of 1977. A schoolteacher related an intriguing UFO sighting he had experienced, and Brendon has pursued information relating to the UFO field ever since. He has witnessed unusual aerial lights over Taranaki for which he could find no logical explanation, and this sighting led to active UFO research. Professional:
