No-one used the word UFO but the lights seen in the sky over Upper Moutere, near Nelson, last night are definitely unidentified. Several people reported seeing balls of fire in the sky about 9.30pm, with Matiu Noakes saying he saw nine, moving from the direction of Kina toward Upper Moutere. "They looked like skydivers coming down with flares attached to them." He said they faded out over Upper Moutere and were going too fast to be flares. Lisa Chambers, marketing manager for Skydive Abel Tasman and a keen member of Nelson's skydiving community, said "there is absolutely no way it could have been skydivers". She said night drops were too dangerous in that area and had there been a prank afoot, she would have known. [ Visit Website ]
