(November 11, 2010) The Press reported today that an unidentified flying object was seen in Christchurch, New Zealand. The witness, Campbell Nisbet, described the UFO as a flying saucer.

He said it was "zooming around the Brooklands skyline" adding that "It was close to the ground, moving really fast in a spiral motion. It actually changed from clockwise to anti-clockwise at one point doing a strange zig-zaggy circuit. I thought, `that can't be a plane, planes aren't that stupid'". Nisbet added that the UFO was "60m off the ground" and that "it travelled erratically 'towards Kaikoura or Blenheim'".

The light, Nisbet said, appeared to approach him. It then flew at an angle whereby Nisbet could make out an outline of a flying saucer. Although the sighting lasted about 20 minutes, Nisbet was unable to capture the UFO on camera due to the speed of the UFO. The Press noted that Nisbet wasn't drinking prior to the sighting.
