Light over Kailua, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Weather was a mix of bright clear skies and intermittent clouds. Sitting out with family, I had been looking at the stars. There was a blinking light very high up that caught my eye. I thought it was an airplane, but watched for a moment to see that it was two separate lights side by side. They did not travel North, South East or West, only up. One light would blink, the other would blink, then they both moved upward –what appeared to be a short distance - to another position. It seemed that one of them began its move slightly before the other. They stopped, went through the same routine, one blinked, the other blinked then both moved farther away up into the sky. This happened one more time, one blinked the other blinked then moved upward. At this moment, they both seemed to blink off as they moved up farther into the sky and I could no longer see them. When I saw them blink the first time, I motioned to my sister to look. She caught a quick glimpse of the last movement they made upward, then out of sight. These objects were very high up, presumably out of the atmosphere. From where I was standing on Maluniu Av, I was looking almost straight up, slightly toward Kalaheo High School area.

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.

Taking pics of Orion about 2 hours after sunset. Noticed Sirius was sparkling like a diamond below. Took picture. Then magnified to see how close i could bring the star. Noticed then the red object( reflecting red from volcanic haze in atmosphere?) I thought it odd and unrecognizable to me.then heard about Chinese surveillance and thought if might be that kind of object. Anyway, thought i would send it to you considering the hoopla in our skies lately.

Kailua, HI
On a beach stroll at night with my significant other. Her and I noticed a star like circular dot way up high, no different than any other lit star or planet in the night sky. However, the the dot of light began to move at a rapid pace. It had the ability to go the full distance of the sky in mere seconds. This was no shooting star for it did not quickly vanish nor was it a low altitude airplane like craft. We could barely make out the shape before it cut short immediately, lowered slowly at a 90 degree rate and disappeared behind some clouds. I went back out each night hoping to see something similar. And on 5/12 I saw a "star" making similar movements but this time it was much closer to the ground. It was changing direction and getting closer almost as if it noticed me. My neck began to hurt from stargazing so I had to give up and go back inside. But as I kept looking back over my shoulder on my way back, the light became brighter and it felt as i! f it almost was following me home.

Very faint, opaque, white ball of dim light. Traveled from the lowest point in Cassiopeia constellation, up thru the center of Andromeda constellation; at a fast but consistent pace. I described it to my husband as a dull, slow moving meteorite, falling the wrong way.

Moving across the sky south toward east a formation of 40+ things that looked like stars moving in a perfectly straight line toward the ocean and then gone. Satellites?
