Sphere over Ocean View, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I woke at 2:30am HST and was unable to go back to sleep. I looked towards the West out of the sliding glass doors in our bedroom and noticed a brighter than usual "star" in the sky about where the Moon and Venus had been earlier in the evening. As I watched, it appeared to move. When it became obvious it was moving erratically in the sky I got out of bed and went outside to further observe the anomaly. I watched the object alone for approximately 30 minutes as it moved abruptly in random and jerky, up/down and back/forth movements. It also appeared to strobe in the sky and change color throughout the spectrum. I went back inside and woke my partner so he could corroborate what I thought I was seeing. Together we watched the object continue to move about in random patterns for another 45 minutes. We both agreed it was not a normal nighttime object. It eventually receded in the sky at approximately 4:15am and we went back to bed. Possibly a planet, or star?? PD

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.

Ocean View, HI
Leaving boyfriends house at 9:45pm, we walked outside to my truck and notice this strange light reflecting off the clouds. At first we thought it was his neighbor shining a super strong flashlight into the clouds, but realized it has no trail of light behind it (light was coming from above and behind the cloud) it was just this huge round spot-light looking light circling us. The light did a couple of zig zaggy circles over us. I have never seen anything like it in my life. My boyfriend ran into the house to grab a flashlight to see if he could recreate what we just saw for some kind of explanation. As soon as my boyfriend pointed the flashlight to the night sky the mysterious light disappeared, and we noticed that it was the only cloud in the sky. Now I'm all tripped out and begin my spooky journey to my house. As I get further away down the road I looked in my mirror noticed just above his house is this bright cloud it looks as if the moon was behind it illuminating it (we are days away from the new moon no way it could of been the moon). The cloud had this soft peach orange glow about it. When I got home I called my boyfriend and told him about the cloud and he told me that shortly after I had left the cloud started to slowly move away towards the mountain.

Ocean View, HI
While standing on our deck, I saw bright lights in the sky, and at first thought it was a very low flying plane, but then, it showed tails behind the ball. Coming from the South to the North and kept splitting into another ball with a long tail. Flew all the way behind the mountain range until we could no longer see it. The fire ball and tail seemed to be bright yellow/white in color, They flew below the clouds where we could see it very easy and bright. ((ADDENDUM FROM MR.
