Unknown over Honolulu, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Friday night of May 16, 2014, I was looking out my bedroom window over diamond head. I noticed two objects in the sky that appeared to be moving closer. However, one craft moved in line with the first one and stayed stationary for a over a minute. I ran outside to call my dad who also witnessed the event. As we went to reach for our cameras to document the evidence. The two craft moved backwards very slowly until they could not be seen anymore. It was weird because they were not planes and the craft seemed to have no directionality in their movement, except when they retracted and moved off. The shape of the crafts, as I assume they were, appeared to be a in a triangular almost dome shape. The top and sides where clearly illuminated in a bright red, almost the color of a red stop light. The bottom of the crafts, had no illumination. There were no sounds emitted, nor where there any sudden fast movements. It almost was as if, they appeared out of nowhere and then moved away.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Walking down the dark walkway extended into the ocean we immediately noted 5 blue orb like objects flying almost what looked to be in a formation. No sound was heard. Seems to be fairly distant. Intially thought they were stars but noted they were all rapidly moving away from the island and westward as the first 2 slowly dimmed as if they were flying away from the island. What also caught our attention what the 3rd and 4th objects rapidly dropped and regained altitude and approached each other while following the first 2 and the 5th following behind without changes in its altitude. Initially none of them changed their flight allttiude and seemed to go straight across the sky. The colour a light blue for all 5 and very bright and gradually dimmed as they made their way southwest. We saw multiple aircraft taking off and landing from Honolulu airport- they all had beacons and very bright lights when approaching the airport or taking off, none of which looked like these objects. These objects did not flicker like flares.

Orange, bright dot. Almost as fine as a laser pointer. Flew from due north to south very fast, similar to meteor speeds. There was no tail or debris coming apart. After covering 3/4 of my field of view...it vanished. No bright breakups as most meteors display. Traveling much faster than ISS or other large satellite.

The object was a disk like shape and almost completely flat on both sides. There was a glowing blue ring in the middle but it was kinda hard to see. There were Two unidentified flying objects in the sky right about 1:50 pm here in hawaii. There were 3 whiteness’s. Two of my friends and myself. We were all outside for a early 4th of july celebration because we had guests. Whilst everyone was inside we were playing hide and seek. When i found both of my friends which were in the same spot they said they saw something weird in the sky so we went to get a closer look as this was just about a few seconds before i caught my friends and we all see 2 disk shaped ufos in the sky. they were decently distant at this point but you could still make out crucial details to identify the unknown object. The object left a trail that was almost like one of a airplanes trail but it was kind of a greenish color but not very pigmented green more like a really really light green. There was a very light blue color around both of the ufos. Almost like a force field that was visible to the naked eye.In the drawing i have provided, that was the only detail we were able to see other that the unidentified flying object being almost flat on both parallel sides to the ground and sky. The drawing provided is the closest i was able to draw out the detail.

First sighted by my fiancé at his job across town. He called me, and my son and I can see it too. Objects are straight up and a little to the southwest.
