New Zealand UFO Sighting Reports
All sighting reports, photographs, diagrams and drawings are copyright to UFOCUS NZ.
UFO = unidentified flying object
UAP = unusual aerial phenomenon
Interpretation of Sightings:
- Please note that UFOCUS NZ does not consider every 'light in the sky', 'UFO' or 'UAP' to be an 'alien craft'. 'UFO' in our terminology simply means 'unidentified flying object'.
- We try to filter out hoaxes, and fabrications usually become obvious with a little intelligent scrutiny, and interviewing.
- We will display possible hoaxes on our website as an educational exercise for the public.
- In some cases the data received may be incomplete or limited, and the credibility of the witnesses unknown.
- We strive to present reports as received, and perform a comprehensive analysis to the best of our abilitiy, given the data provided.
- Analysis may include examination of footage/photos by a photographic data analyst.
- We may confer with a range of scientific and professional services in the analysis of a sighting or event.
