The Ministry of Defence is set to release documents it has collected on UFO sightings in New Zealand.
There are more than 2000 pages of material which date back to the 1950s.
They have been held by Archives New Zealand, which was set to make them available in February this year after requests from the public.
However the Defence Force said it needed to remove personal identification from the files in order to comply with the Privacy Act.
UFOCUS Director Suzanne Hansen, who has been investigating UFOs for more than 35 years, has been campaigning for the documents' release.
She said it was a step towards openness on the topic of UFOs.
Hansen expects there will be some information on the Kaikoura lights sightings in the late 1970s.
She said she had witnessed numerous "sightings" in her life
