We turn the clock back to 1961 when several people reported seeing unidentified flying objects in South Canterbury.
Listen to the accounts of two farm labourers who saw a circular black object land in a turnip paddock, a Waimate woman who discovered a bright light on the ground which rose and shone a blue beam downwards and a dairy farmer and his son who noticed an orange object glide over Leeston.
