Metallic Disc Hovers Silently Over Helensville Fields in 1965

During the winter of 1965 in Helensville New Zealand a metallic disc shaped object was observed by several credible eyewitnesses.

A local farmer first spotted the craft hovering silently just above the treetops near his property. He described it as approximately 30 feet in diameter with a smooth reflective surface and no visible markings or propulsion systems.

The object remained stationary for several minutes before tilting slightly and accelerating rapidly out of sight without producing any sound.

A nearby police officer was called to the scene and also witnessed the final moments of the sighting confirming the unusual characteristics.

No radar contacts were reported and investigations ruled out conventional aircraft balloons or weather phenomena.

The incident was documented in local police records and remains one of New Zealands notable UFO cases from that era with consistent descriptions from independent observers.
