Jennie Velvin said everyone would think she had had one too many wines when she reported a UFO sighting on Christmas night.
But she was positive she had not touched the booze and that even her husband, John - normally a sceptic - could confirm there had been something strange in the sky above Ngamotu Rd, New Plymouth.
Mrs Velvin takes her dogs out the back of the house for toileting at 10pm every evening and is familiar with the night sky.
"I always look up to the sky to see what's there. Sometimes I see a satellite, like a slow-moving star, and we get a lot of helicopters."
But what she saw on this night was no earthly craft.
"This was nothing like I've seen in 30 years."
She described the object as a small, fast-moving fiery sun that was heading south towards Oakura.
"It was about the size of a circle you make with your arms.
"It was really low, it looked as though I could have reached out and touched it."
She said she yelled to her husband to come outside.
"He wouldn't believe me if I told him."
The mysterious object had already disappeared into cloud by the time he got there, but a second one the same as the first travelled past soon after, and he narrowly missed capturing it with his camera.
