{{Mainarticle|Kaikoura lights}}
* The Kaikoura Lights is a name given by the New Zealand media to a series of sightings that occurred in December, 1978, over the skies of the South Island of New Zealand. These sightings began on December 21 when the crew of a Safe Air Ltd cargo aircraft began observing a series of strange lighted objects around their Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy aircraft on several flights. The first sighting began when the crew of a cargo plane noticed a series of lights that tracked along with their aircraft for several minutes and then disappeared, only to appear somewhere else. The pilots described some of the objects as being the size of a house and the others as small but with brilliant flashing lights. These objects appeared on the air traffic controller radar in Wellington and also on the radar in the on board rader on the aircraft. The objects were also seen by hundreds of people on the ground.
