Filmmaker Martin Boyle was there to talk to those exposed and face-off the aliens, camera in hand. In 2011 Aidan Weeks came across this material and bring brings to life on stage the encounters that Martin Boyle faced on his night at Poverty Bay. Encounter the Alien, the UFO, the unidentified flying object, and the unidentified floating object? What is the alien? What is alien?
