New Zealand's Defence Force released thousands of pages of previously secret UFO reports dating from 1952, including material on the 1978 Kaikoura lights. Most were reports of lights in the sky, and the military did not draw conclusions about them.
Answering an Official Information Act request, the NZDF said it has no role in UFO reports, refers any it receives to the Civil Aviation Authority, and neither investigates nor keeps records of such sightings. The CAA said it looks only at incidents affecting aviation safety.
