Changing over Mokuliea, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Very bright light lower than stars and higher than mountains. It was over ocean and disappeared towards Kauai. It wasn't fast. It seemed to have a green line and a red line that formed a shape of a triangle over a bright white circle. It had a very bright blue/white straight tail with a small glow light toawards the end. It seemed to slightly change color and shape but not much. It kind of made me feel that my eyes were playing tricks but, they were not. I looked away a few times, closed my eyes a few times... Same thing every time. I took pictures and it looked like nothing but a light. I took a video and zoomed in and out. The video just looked like it was a moon.

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.
