Buried in New Zealand’s declassified UFO reports is an encounter between two humanoids in a disc-shaped craft and a woman on her farm in 1959. The witness, Eileen Moreland, was working outside early on the morning of July 13th, 1959 when she noticed a strange green glow coming from the sky.
When she got closer, she saw a craft 10 meters off the ground with a transparent upper top and two man-sized silhouettes. She later told a Royal New Zealand Air Force investigator one of the humanoids shouted at her in a foreign language.

RNZAF says it’s raising the classification of encounter on August 20th; one Lt. says he’s convinced her account is “genuine” (p. 191): https://archive.org/stream/NewZealandUFO/AIR-244-10-1-Volume-1-1959-1983#page/n190/mode/1up

SoD denies journalist inquiry in 1979, says investigation found nothing substantive and evidence couldn’t be released due to “confidentiality” agreement given to witness….handwritten note on top right says “Are the assurances of confidentiality of a personal kind? If so we should say so. Otherwise it looks like another cover-up” (p. 28): https://archive.org/stream/NewZealandUFO/AIR-244-10-1-Volume-1-1959-1983#page/n27/mode/1up
An internal memo then says she was not (underlined) given a personal assurance of confidentiality, rather, told by RNZAF to keep it to herself; officer wanted to raise classification when she told him beings were speaking another language, investigator thought it might be “Russian!” (p. 30): https://archive.org/stream/NewZealandUFO/AIR-244-10-1-Volume-1-1959-1983#page/n29/mode/1up
