Kaikoura 'distress flare' remains a mystery
Radio New Zealand
November 12, 2006

Christchurch police say the origins of a flare reported off the Kaikoura
coast on Saturday night remain a mystery.

The flare was spotted at about 11pm by several people and reported to
police.

The Coastguard mounted an air search, which failed to find the source
of the flare.

Police say radio messages have been sent to boats in the area asking
them to keep watch for a vessel in trouble, but there has been no
response. They say what people thought was a flare may have been a
meteorite.
