As reported

Light over Aiea, HI

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Looked in binoculars and saw the green light vibrating in zig zag motions while moving. It was next to red hill and above the airport. Had other lights to compare it to and there is no way any object could move as fast and at these patterns. Helicopter appeared at same altitude and the steady green light seemed to fray away from it. As helicopter came the light dropped altitude and as the helicopter passed it shot back up. Green light vanished in unknown direction but as I'm writing this another helicopter appeared and the green light appears again in front of the helicopter as if the helicopter was chasing it. As of now we can not spot it. Witnesses include myself, my brother, my grandfather, my wife, and our 2 kids ages 10 and 12.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112245). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Aiea, HI

Three red lights in triangle formation up in the sky, a little to the right of the direction I was headed in while driving from Pearl City toward Aiea on Komo Mai Drive approaching intersection of Kaahumanu Street. Lights were steady, not blinking. I drive this route frequently and there aren't any buildings or towers with lights on them in that direction. I have never seen these lights before. Too low to be normal aircraft, but about the size a large aircraft would be if it were flying that low. The lights hovered in place. Lost sight of it as I turned at the intersection.
