A Plummers Point woman puzzled by golden lights moving silently across the sky could have been witnessing the aftermath of a Saturday night celebration.
Cicely Arnold was standing outside just before midnight waiting for her dog to do its business when she looked up and spotted three very bright shiny lights coming from the direction of the Kaimais.
It was a full moon and she watched the lights for about 10 minutes until they seemed to disappear behind clouds, one heading in a northern direction, one in a north-easterly direction and the other towards Tauranga.
"They were moving across the sky, there was absolutely no noise."
One of the lights was trailing behind and the light heading towards Tauranga seemed to pick up speed and disappear into cloud.
