It is not a star or satellite and not a plane or helicopter, as is a stationery, strobing red,white and green light in sky est. 2,000 feet. Weirdest phenomena is the more I try to focus on it for a more than a minute the object seems to defend itself from being filmed by a pulse burst of energy that defocuses the phone camera. Initially I thought it was cold air impacting the lens but multiple cleans made no difference. Only turn off and re-filming worked. Then the speed of the time it took to start defocussing shortened to around ten seconds. Very weird. [PS. I saw a similar solo UFO over Lake Taupo in 1968 with same light show except it was a lot closer and the lights were revolving around the object that travelled south from Acacia Bay toward Turangi over around 5 hours of viewing.] I have several videos of the phenomena on phone but cant transfer to laptopI am typing on.
