Good morning Tom,

 

In 2010 the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) released to public libraries
fifteen volumes containing all accumulated correspondence then held
relating to reports of unidentified aerial phenomenon or sightings (UAS) /
unidentified flying objects (UFO) 1952 to 2009 inclusive, suitably
redacted to protect individual privacy. Copies of this information were
provided to: the Dunedin Public Library; the Hamilton Public Library; the
Marlborough District Libraries; the Alexander Turnbull Library; and
Infofind (the Radio New Zealand library).

 

The NZDF has no role or responsibility relating to reports of UAS/UFO. It
is standard practice that any such reports received by the NZDF are to be
referred to the Civil Aviation Authority. The NZDF neither investigates
nor maintains records relating to UAS/UFO sightings.

 

Regards
