Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights:#1 The history of sightings of strange objects in Antipodean skies can be traced back to the 19th century, when European settlers reported seeing fuzzy hovering white orbs of light tracking them as they moved through outback country.#2 I was a teenager living in New Zealand when the Kaikoura sighting occurred. I was initially intrigued then disappointed by the dramatic sighting, as it was unclear if the lights were actually a UFO. I took the view that the sighting was a dramatic overreaction to the still unsolved Valentich mystery in Australia.#3 The Kaikoura sighting remains one of the world’s most well-recorded unexplained UAP sightings. It was not until the early 1990s, when I was working in Australia as a television investigative journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, that I was encouraged by Australian Air Force insiders to reconsider my default dismissive attitude towards unidentified objects in our skies.#4 The media has long been skeptical of claims of unidentified objects in our skies. This is because most young reporters served time on night-shift news desks, fielding calls from the public. They would often pray for a ghoulish crime story or accident to break the tedium of the late shift.
