Background
At 8:00 p.m., Trevor Foss answered his son's call to watch a light in the northern sky over Kailoa Station, Gisborne, New Zealand. Through night binoculars he saw a ball of light traveling south toward him. It took five minutes to reach the southern horizon. The object had rotating light beams projecting downward and to the rear, as well as six jet-like blue flames. The APRO Bulletin reported the sighting in January 1965. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
