The theory emerged after breakfast TV news in New Zealand revealed a super-speed flight was picked up by a tracker website which uses radar to pinpoint where a plane is. On the News Now program footage of the speeding craft as shown online was aired. It showed the object travelling, at was said to be 120 times faster than a standard plane, from New Zealand to Canberra in Australia. The TV station also alleged to have captured evidence of an object around the same time that it suggested could be the UFO responsible. According to the broadcast, the tracker gave the flight the name ZED-KG-DG, which did not relate to any known flight. Some UFO websites have described it as irrefutable proof. One person posting online said: "New Zealand news reported that the unknown object was travelling at a speed 150 times faster than a normal jet.

"This is the first time in history that a piece of technology has gathered irrefutable proof of extraterrestrials. "Most sightings involve UFOs hovering in place, however, the New Zealand sighting is unique due to the fact that it is moving, quite fast. "At such speeds, the craft can easily outrun even the most advanced military aircraft." UFO blogger Scott C Waring was also excited. In a post on his website ufosightingsdaily.com, he wrote: "I checked the FAA site just now for the plane ID ZED-KG-DG, but it does not exist on their records.

"It's not a plane serial number, manufacturer or ID number of any plane known. Its an unknown...a UFO. "An ID given to objects on radar that the FAA have no control over." Yet, despite many people claiming it was just a technical glitch, he added his own conspiracy theory. He said: "Alien craft travel across this planet daily, on radar, yet they are ignored by the FAA, because they were told to do so by the US government. How long can this charade keep up?" Not everyone is convinced it is a historic development. One viewer posted on YouTube: "Probably a glitch in the system." Another viewer said: "Anyone familiar with the plane tracking apps will tell you that planes often react strangely on the screens because positional data gets missed and then re-acquired causing planes to speed up or change position. "Also just because a plane isn't recognised by the app means nothing only that." But, Steve Duvall thought there was more to it. He posted on YouTube: "Hell, I've seen them fly over me so fast that all I could see was the shadow shape of the craft let behind it. One made a 30 degree angle turn without stopping, about two months ago."
