Background
At 10:40 p.m. on March 11, 1978, four witnesses in the Waimata Valley, New Zealand, watched a red and green object shaped like a top hat. Two of them approached in their car to about 100 feet, but the object shut off all its lights and disappeared. The same object reappeared twice more that evening. The Gisborne Herald reported the sighting on March 16, 1978. 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.
