Last week my brother & I went on a fly fishing trip in the motorhome.
 
Was an enjoyable 5 or 6 days & comparatively productive despite the uncertain weather forecasts as well as the rivers being fairly high & coloured.
 
About the 4 th. day we were parked riverside on the Whirinaki on a farm property.
 
Like most old coots of my age after retiring to bed I usually need to take a couple of "comfort" sessions during the hours of darkness.
 
Was outside attending to the matter in hand ( no pun intended ) whilst admiring the superb vista the galaxy turns on such a crisp, frosty clear atmosphere well away from city lights.
 
Whilst admiring the spectacle & even noticing a couple of shooting stars became aware of one particular star that was 3 or 4 times the size of the next largest & whilst focussed on it was amazed to see it was definitely not only moving across the night sky but it was flashing off & on at approx. 5 sec equal intervals.
 
I shouted to my brother to come & have a look but being thin blooded from living most of his life in Queensland was reluctant to leave his mountain of bedding, clothing etc. instead claimed he could see it from the window on his side of the motorhome but that turned out to be a distant farm house with an outside light on.
 
Meantime after traversing about 1/3 of the constellation in maybe 5 minutes or less the flashing light of the unknown object switched off & did not come on again.
 
It did not look remotely similar to any satellite I have seen & most definitely was not a plane, or at least as we know them ... so what on earth or elsewhere was it ??????

I saw something similar last year Bazza, I wondered if it was that silly thing Rocketlab put into orbit. It is like a disco ball thing and meant to reflect flashing lights back to earth it makes sense that it orbits NZ. It was not the ISS it is clear as very bright some days no flashing lights.

Seen a couple of weird things myself down here though to bazza, one in particular stands out now a dark red star when I was paddling out one morning. I just thought it was Mars but it was not until I actually saw Mars that I knew it wasn't. Mars has an orange hue this thing was dark as red and was the only star left in the sky as dawn broke. I took my eyes off it for a minute and boom gone, did not see it travel so couldn't say.

Last August while walking the dog as it got dark looking over SW Auckland again a dark red light just hanging. Seemed way up in the sky, like way high I called out the wife when I got home after the walk and it just hung there in front of both of us. After taking turns watching our son inside we were both lucky to see what happened next it turned a very bright green and from stand still moved west at a speed and in a manner I never seen before and seemed to speed off and disappeared . My wife freaked out LOL I got stick for not getting photos but I have never actually got a decent moon photo never mind a red dot in the sky.

Did a guy who looked like this knock on the motorhome door and ask you to take him to your leader?

Sounds like a traveler taking one look at how f'ed this place was and indicating a turn to a better holiday destination. With other traffic travelling at 27,000k best to indicate for some time and look carefully before changing course.

Aliens Bazza. They were looking for someone to abduct, but you were obviously not biologically significant enough

Oh they are real man. Can't be piloted by humans,going from 28000ft to 50ft above the ocean in 0.75 seconds would turn a human to liquid.
Also submarine radar boys tagged one doing 500knts underwater.
What you saw bazza could have been one of the sats Elon musk deployed a few weeks back, apparently they put out irridium flares that are pretty bright.
I saw something years back that still puzzles me to this day,4 of us saw it.
dont get my personality mixed up with my attitude,my personality is me,my attitude depends on you.

There is a space station website - gives you their position around earth at any time.
Could check that and see if in the vicinity. If not..........good luck.

Slow disclosure is happening,I have a funny feeling they are black ops drones. If they are ET,they pretty stupid coming here,not alot for them to discover,or they just like probing people.....or skoti has a ufo.

Hi Bazza Some satelites are high enough to catch the suns light even long after the sun has set and can be seen as a fast or slow blinking light depending on their speed of rotation and the sun reflecting off their sides or solar panels some times moon light as well, when they appear to totally turn off they have probably moved out of the suns light behind the earths shadow. Also there are sporadic flashes of the suns rays off the iridium satelites, known as iridium flares, these are cloured as well, do a google search maybe check out the heavens above website it has satelite and iridium flare predictions as well as iss sighting times, quite interesting

My Facebook page gives me a heads up when the International Space Station is visible. It's very accurate and it moves pretty swiftly and takes about 5 mins to pass over. It's a pretty big bright light but It doesnt flash though.
