Kaikoura Lights

New Zealand was inundated by UFO sightings in the late 1970s, the most notorious of which was the "Kaikoura Lights." They were spotted by the crew of a Safe Air cargo plane, hundreds of witnesses on the ground and even a film crew. Then on December 30, 1978, they were tracked by New Zealand Air Traffic Control. The most popular explanation offered by debunkers is that the lights were simply reflected off of a trolling squid boat, a theory roundly rejected by witnesses. But an intergalactic squid boat? Certainly only ETs could invent something so clever.
