Request for Information Regarding All Unidentified Flying Craft in NZ Since Sept 2021

N. S. Hudson made this Official Information request to Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand

The request was partially successful.

From: N. S. Hudson

Dear Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand,

I would like to request any and all information, including civilian and military reports, reports to any and all government ministers, and any and all information shared between other government agencies and the CAA, including correspondence, relating to any and all unidentified "flying craft" in New Zealand airspace since 1st Sept, 2021.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(This is an extention of Request:25880 where only Hawkes Bay data was asked for, and drones were excluded by OIA. I would like to get similar information, but for all of NZ, from the above date, and include anything and everything flying, incase there were other craft that weren't provided in that request.)

Yours faithfully,

N. S. Hudson
