“New Zealand Investigates 5 UFO Reports”,
24 December 1978 (The Pittsburgh Press, Pennsylvania)


New Zealand’s Defence Department investigated five UFO incidents in December 1978, according to The Pittsburgh Press:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bdMdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LlkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4401,2757310

Quote from the article:
“The reports said the pilot of a commercial airliner claimed one UFO shadowed him for 12 miles on his approach to Christchurch Airport early Friday (22 December 1978).

Capt. Vern Powell, a pilot for 25 years, described the object as ‘a brilliant white light, like an arc lamp, and moving at tremendous speed.’

In a dramatic message to Christchurch control tower he said, ‘something’s coming towards us at tremendous speed.

It has traveled 24 kilometers (16 miles) in five seconds. It has now abruptly veered off.’

Powell said his crew saw the UFO clearly and Civil Aviation radar in Wellington tracked it.”

NOTE: The newspaper date is 24 December 1978.

Portuguese Air Force pilot José Francisco Rodrigues encountered a UFO during a flight training mission near Castelo de Bode Dam on 17 June 1977, at around noon, RTP reports:

The UFO was black, semi-spherical shaped, 13 to 15 metres in diameter and had several windows that emitted a light yellowish light.

Suddenly the UFO flew away, causing great instability in the airplane. Rodrigues had to execute a difficult manoeuvre to gain control of his Dornier 27 airplane. And some of the instruments in the airplane were affected by the presence of the UFO.

NOTE: The name of the dam is written both “Castelo de Bode” and “Castelo do Bode,” according to Google searches.
