NZDF declassified RNZAF UFO files

REPORT FROM FLT.LT.HICKEY. AT 2140 on January 1st I saw three white lights appear to leave a much brighter object which could have been a planet. The lights were in the west and fairly low. They were in line abreast and travelling north and were visible for at least 40 seconds. They were travelling towards the moon and disappeared when they got in the area of the moons radiance.
