The US Navy has admitted it's holding onto more details about an infamous UFO encounter off the coast of California in 2004, but releasing it "would cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States".

In November 2004, navy pilots shot video of strange objects performing moves that left them baffled. The close encounter was made public in 2017 and 2018 when Tom DeLonge, former singer for punk band Blink 182, managed to get his hands on some of the footage, and released it via his UFO investigation group, To The Stars Academy.

In one of the clips, a pilot based on the USS Nimitz can be heard shouting, "What the f**k is that thing!?"

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has defended the decision to keep New Zealand troops in Iraq, saying New Zealand won't be "cutting and running" in the face of heightening conflict.

Tensions in the region reached boiling point this month, beginning with the death of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and Iran's subsequent targeting of two US bases in Iraq with ballistic missiles.
