Think your app is playing up.
Maybe its an early migration of birds from NZ to Siberia?

What makes you think any of the 30 planes are weird? Nothing weird jumped out at me, but I'm not familiar with planespotting.

Study them individually. The first 10 I looked at were freight planes.

It's a dummy run invasion by the Chinese.

Half of the planes have weird names such as B140055

...and it shows that B140055 was a flight from Ardmore. What's weird about that?

Could be because Civil Aviation have made anything larger than a pigeon buy a transponder.

It might be the air show on https://www.wings.org.nz/ there are all sorts of planes flying in and out of NZ including a B52 bomber.

Exactly

Russian, 1/2 of them will be Yaks.
Russia is planning to invade us in a fleet of 40 year old piston engine trainers.
