Light over Manoa Hills, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting outside on Lanai area when a bright flash lit up the sky. Much brighter than lightening. Looked up towards that direction and there were no clouds, but a fading bright flash in the middle, with long jet like streaks from the sides of it. The streaks lasted in the sky for 20 seconds until they disappeared. This happened approximately an hour, or so, after the "missile" was spotted in the west coast/California area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #123833). 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.
