An increased count of UFO sightings in the region of Oceania is drawing attention to a possible alien invasion. Most of the sightings have been recorded in New Zealand, where a total of 10 UFO detections have been documented in the last six years.
According to New Zealand Herald, the most noteworthy sightings were those of an "identified red and orange light" near ChristChurch back in 2015 and moving lights observed in the Bay of Plenty and Hamilton, North Island, in 2013. There was also a sighting of a star-shaped object seen by a pilot near the wingtip of his plane.
These reports have been authenticated by New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and commentaries indicate that the total number of UFOs could be higher than initially thought. This is because the most recent activities in the skies have not yet been accounted for.
The most recent UFO sighting happened on March 30 when an "unidentified falling light" was observed at Tasman Bay, near Nelson. The object was described as too slow for a meteor and too fast for an airplane, something that prompted New Zealand's CAA to record the incidence.
The Ufocus New Zealand research Network, which runs an archive of the sightings reported to it, also has other recent UFO sighting recordings. For example, its most recent one involves "an airborne object surrounded by red strobing light" in Katikati.
Another one entails a "delta-shaped" object, which was seen above the Waitakere Ranges. The Network's Director Suzzanne Hansen told the publication in a news briefing that most of the reported UFO sightings were from the North Island, where the population is much denser.
One distinct incident that was not recorded by the CAA comprised a report from an Australian film crew working in New Zealand in 2014, The Sun reported. The crew was filming "Colour in Your Life" when it inadvertently recorded two strange objects flying at high speed in the sky.
The crew did not notice the objects in their footage until it started editing the movie. After slowing the video it uploaded online, the two shapes are seen emerging behind the trees and flying up into the sky, after which, they disappear.
In the meantime, most unexplained UFO sightings have not been reported or recorded by authorities lately. But the rising frequencies of UFO appearances are triggering suppositions of the existence aliens on earth.
Here is a video of the UFO sighting recorded by the Australian film crew:
