But other descriptions challenge that possibility.People living on the insland in the Duke of York group closest to New Ireland province reported seeing a huge craft hovering just metres above the sea off St. Georges Channel, and travelling very slowly. They also reported other smaller craft with bright lights circling the larger one "in a playful manner". John Berenti, & family of Namatanai, New Ireland, saw "ahuge craft appear just above the top of the mango trees" he estimated 200 metres to 300 metres long & 50 metres wide. Others tried to chase the object. Raymond Theodore a Ploice officer at about 8.30 pm, on Vuvu Beach, North Rabaul coast, saw "a huge craft travelling just metres above the seas... we saw it travel over Waton Island. It had very bright lights at the back as it moved along." Alex Jame & 4 other boys returning from Pilapila Community School about 7 pm and others saw bright lights approaching. As the UFO approached, Alex claimed "the street lights dimmed like when the batteries in a torch are flat." He thought it was noiseless, oblong in shape, bright lights around the edges, with a top like a pyramid with som lights around it. All white lights. The boys said it took 30 minutes to pass them. Alex said when the object hovered over them the place around them light up & they could see people near them as if it was daylight. It eventually disappeared over the moutains near Vuvu. Another local, John Mcleod, manager of the Malangan Beach resort, New Ireland province, said he watched it and thought it was a satellite re-entery. He seems to be describing something else entirely. If it was an airship or blimp it was a spectacular one?? ----- Thanks also to Paul Cropper.
