Light over Kealakekua, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw 3 very bright lights in the sky all lined up. The lights were very close to land. The lights looked like stars but they appeared to be blinking. I was not afraid when I looked at them. In fact the lights were like giant diamonds in the sky but again very close to land. I tossd & turned for almost an hour & got up to use the restroom. When I returned, all 3 lights were gone! There is only black sky now. Wow! I have talked to people recently on Big Island, Hi, who have reported sightings. I think I definitely saw something unusual.

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.
