Witness Testimony

"Summary : Driving around Witch Hill area of Banks Penninsula, passed strange. There were 3 lights, not completely certain of their colour, They were in a stationary position. There was another white light which zig zagged around the stationary lights, and this light would move from extremely bright to dim, this light merged with the stationary lights, then a white flourecent looking ball appeared and passed us, dissappearing below the horizon of the hill, none of the lights made any sound, I ran to get a closer look at the lights, the other two were insistant that we get back in the car and drive around the Penninsula to get a closer look, we never sighted the lights again. This was all close proximity, approx 100-200 m.I really wish we had a video camera with us that night!!!"
