Strange “UFO Orbs” Captured in Compelling Video from New Zealand

A curious bit of video that hit the internet on Friday shows strange “orbs” floating through the New Zealand sky.

According to The Canadian, the first object was captured during day light hours from the North on 25 January 2013.  And the the second object was captured toward the South at 9.45pm.  Other than the models of camera used to make the capture, there doesn’t seem to be much more information on the intriguing footage.

They don’t exactly look or move like any traditional aircraft, and they’re far too slow to be a meteor. Give the footage a peek down below, and let us know what you think the orbs are.

    Can’t tell. I’d hazard a guess and say they’re some kind of aircraft that wasn’t videotaped particularly well – look at some of the light bloom on the stars in the background on the second video, they’re about the same size as the “orb” in motion. While the videos are eerie (especially the second one), I still don’t see how this can be trumpeted as proof of extraterrestrial intelligence. At this point, they’re just… Unknown Flying Objects.

    They look like Chinese lanterns. The flicker gives it away. Or they could be giant alien fire flies. One or the other.

    Clearly a FAKE – When he shows a close-up of the “UFO” it has a square frame around the image. Classic mistake by hoaxers.

    If I were to do it at least you should make the background transparent so you don’t see the square pixel “box” around the “UFO”
    LOL TOTAL FAKE!!!
