my view 1
- I found the video in question. It is not a UFO but a mere orb (= atmospheric luminous phenomenon). 

- The orb below looks like a disk-shaped UFO because it is rotating at a high speed. The orb rotating at high speed was also photographed in (*1).



- Images captured in a single frame of film (between 30-40 msec)

Are UFOs Real: The Kaikoura Lights Incident 1978



My view 2
- The site is located on an active fault line and has been the site of many major earthquakes in the past. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that an abnormal EMF (in this case, a strong electric field) generated by the active fault caused the orb.


On November 13, 2016, a powerful earthquake jolted the northeastern coast of New Zealand’s South Island. The 7.8 magnitude quake lifted the seabed by 0.5 to 2 meters (2 to 7 feet) along a 20-kilometer stretch of the Kaikoura coast. In one area, the uplift was a remarkable 5.5 meters (18 feet).

The sudden shifting of such a huge quantity of rock produced some unusual sights. From above, satellites captured an image of a thin swath of newly exposed land ringing the Kaikoura Peninsula and other parts of South Island.

On November 25, 2016, a multispectral imager on the European Space Agency’s Sentinel 2 satellite captured an image (second) of the newly exposed land near Kaikoura. For comparison, the first image—acquired by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8—shows the same area on October 12, 2016. The tidal water level was approximately the same in both cases.
