here is a quick one . I will call it a ufo story but I am not sure that is the best description .... Let you lot decide what you think it may have been .
Me and my other half at the time , again 25 odd yrs ago , were coming back from the wellington on my yammy FZR1000 I had at the time . We had gotten off the late ferry and were coming over the local hill just outside of nelson called the wangamoas . Any one passing through nelson will know the road as is the only way into nelson from the north . Very tight winding road as you come down the hill into nelson . It was late , probably 2 o'clock or so in the morning .
So here we were slowly winding our way over the top and down the nelson side . No visible moon as the hill was hiding it .
I noticed a light in my mirrors behind us. Pale blue , smallish , not particularly bright . Didn't think much of it .
kept an eye on it as it kept appearing in my mirrors after rounding a corner so it was plainly following us . I then started wondering where it had come from as we hadn't had anyone behind us before we hit the top of the hill and there were no side roads for someone to pull out from . Then I started to twig that it wasn't actually lighting any of the road up as a headlight would and the colour was wrong for a headlight . This is when headlights were all bulbs with the off yellow light , not the white/blue lights like today . And it seemed to vary in height above the road ....
I actually started looking for the light shining on the road or hillside where it was cut into the hill as we approached corners as you would expect a car/bike light to do when behind you but nothing ....
I started speeding up as this light was right up our arse and I was getting a little worried about an accident . It got to the point I was going well fast enough to remove any doubt about it being a pushbike as there is no way a bike would have kept up .
It followed us most of the way down the hill - then just wasn't there any more .
So I wouldn't say it was a ufo as in an alien spacecraft as it certainly wasn't big enough to have anyone inside it , but don't know what else to call it . Only appeared to be headlight sized in the mirrors , but was like no headlight I have ever seen . Wrong colour , to dim , it was lit up but not projecting light like a headlight . Was way to fast for a pushbike light . And appeared to be floating .
Strange ....
