hm. now I remember a sighting, too.
To appreciate the experience one should know that I'm rather deaf without my hearing aids.


I was in rural Fiordland in my backyard, it was night and I was drinking in the clear sky while I photographed a slight aurora with the remote in my hand.

All of a sudden a glowing red dot appeared, hovering over the deer paddock to my right, 50m-70m away. Its hight was maybe 2.50 or 3m.

It sort of swayed a bit to and fro but mainly floated in the same location.

Eery. Me, alone in the night - and a glowing red dot.

I forced myself to think it was probably a drone from a neighbor's kid or something.

And then it went away.

If I were of normal hearing I might have heard the rotor/motor.
