i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

hey guys just want to share with you all that 10minutes ago i saw an unidentifying flying object.

April 24th 2011.
8:20pm, Deanwell, Hamilton, New Zealand.


Its so bright like a star but is not as far away as it is seem, a big bright light. It's hovering for about 10minutes and then move left and then right and just before it disappeared, i ran inside to grab my camera (15x zoom) then it moving left and right and then changing colour from bright to dimmer and disappeared in the thin air.

I thought i can chase it to capture it on the video but its no where to be seen, jumped into my car and start driving for 5km to the farm side and there is nothing at sight.

I'm pretty sure it is not a plane, because its hovering and did not blink at all. Gutted I couldn't catched it on camera, otherwise it would have been awesome.

All i can say is damn!

How interesting... and you had to post that on the maemo forum, did you? :P

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

People here believe all the crap on odd websites talking about Maemo/MeeGo, so why not?

(that said, I'm an UFO agnostic and it might actually be maxximuscool saw something, but definite proof is so hard to get)

Not a Westpac Rescue Helicopter then?

Interesting, my partner saw a bright light in the sky the other morning, I was asleep, and she couldn't wake me; but I reckoned it could have been Venus. She doesn't drink. If I'd seen it, I'd blame the drink - especially if I'd been drinking Absinthe. I did see one many years ago in Wales. I blame that one on tiny little mushrooms. There is usually a good explanation for these things. I'd play safe and put it down to a Westpac myself - otherwise you may be getting a knock on the door, and the men will be wearing white, not black...

Edit: the motion you describe sounds more like a police chopper. Used to get them a lot where I lived in the UK, using IR to track crims fleeing into the local council estate. Not seen those round Hamilton myself. Westpacs do fly into Hamilton hospital from all over the Waikato.

Pity you didn't use your n900 to take some pictures - the camera on it is pretty cool, and it is there right when you need it.

I'm in guys. I love UFO's, just not like Skyline movie...
Everyone, prepare your cameras just in case.
I wish we had a UFO shooting mode in N900.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

While I'm not a complete sceptic on these things, I do believe there's a perfectly rational explanation for these sightings.
I mean, what IS a UFO?
While I can believe that there's other civilisations out there, what sort of being would have the technology to fly across thousands of light years of space only to get lost in the Nevada Desert?

Good point - or visit the Waikato when there's so much else to see in New Zealand...

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

The simplest explanation is usually the right one: It was a drone from this planet. If it was close and you didn't hear anything, it's using an electric motor. Imagine how many UFOs they see in the Middle East.

That was me throwing my N900 out of the window in blind frustration. I threw it so hard, it made its way to the other side of the world. Can I have it back now? :D
