Sphere over Kapaa, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On August 7, 2017, at 8:49 PM, I was driving in Kapaa, Kauai. The full Moon was out and I saw a very large bright white light nearby it. I pulled over to snap a pic of the full Moon, but the bright object was not in sight when I snapped it. However, when I checked the pic the next day, there was a HUGE pinkish orb just beneath the Full Moon. I have no doubt it is a Galactic Craft.

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.

Saw a galactic craft on my way down the mountain enroute to Lihue from Wailua Homesteads. After you pass Opaekaa Falls, there's an expansive view of the ocean out to the horizon on your right. It was from there I saw the ship floating along. It was mimicking a commercial jet with a tail, wings and fuselage. No logos, very ethereal, shiny with a large Sun glint radiating off its side flying against a pale blue sky. As I watched, it suddenly disappeared.

I was taking my evening walk and I bring along my device. If the sunset is good, I will take photos. I took several and later after dinner when I looked at them I saw this green thing. I have no idea what it is. I was about 1 mile from the cloud and I am 2.5 miles from the base of the mountain in the distance. It's called Makaleha. I have had refractions from headlights in previous photos, it was not dark enough for that. I have had people say it's a drone, but it seems pretty high in some of the shots (drones are limited to 400 ft.) and you can see its lights in the clouds. It's also green and I don't think that is a legal running light color. I have gotten another photo about a month earlier. Possible lens flares? PD

Location: Kapahi, Kapaa, Kauai Island . Monday 25th of April. 2016. Close to 08:00 in the evening I step outside my house in upper kapahi. It is partly clouded. I’m looking into the sky thinking “I would love to see a UFO”. Aproxemately 10 seconds later the fluffy cloud above my head, suddenly have some super intense lights flashing inside the sky. A very thick, compact and white cloud Is moving in from East. The flashing lights seemed to jump from the fluffy cloud and starts flashing lights even more powerful within the thick cloud, and then jumps again to a different place in the thick cloud. And then nothing more happens. There is no wind and absolutely silent. The whole event lasted about 8-10 seconds. I have looked up lightning without thunder, it is possible if the lightning happens very far away. What I witnessed happened right above my head, and the light seemed to be much more bright than lightning. It was characteristic like as if somebody quickly moved a very big and strong flashlight inside the sky.

I woke up at 3:30 am to get ready for work. A massive span of light coming up out of Anahola mountain caught my eye. I have a large picture window in my bedroom that looks north towards Anahola mountain. I kept looking at this light coming out of the mountain trying to figure out what it was and what might be causing it. It was probably 2 miles across the ridge line and about a half a mile high. There are no roads leading to or on the mountain and no cities or towns on or around the mountain and no houses on the mountain. I left my bedroom and went into the bathroom and looked out of the large picture windows towards the mountain. The light was still there. After brushing my teeth I went into the living room and looked out of the window from there. The light seemed to be kind of growing and dimming. I also noticed a flashing of "balls" or "cluster" of electrical light further west on the mountain about a mile from the original light. The flashing electric light was eradic and moved all over the face of the west end of the mountain and then disapeared or stopped.When I looked back at the original mass of light it was no longer there. The view out the windows had become normal darkness with stars visable. I continued on with my normal routine of getting ready for work.

Sighting occurred on September 2, 2014, on East Shore at Donkey Beach, Kauai, HI. It was around 2 am. I was sleeping overnight on the beach. In the sky to the left star level was a UFO. To the right at star level were two more. The left was different shape than the right sided UFO's. The left side appeared to be doing different light shapes some like a stick Xmas tree and some were red and round in shape. It continued to blink in different sequels and once in a while a laser light would come out and either shot out or blink to the other ships on the right. Once in a while the laser would do some funny doodle. The lights in conclusions were green yellow red and white. The ship appeared to be round. The UFO's on the right were lighted with straight line lights the light were more faded but I could make out 7 lights on one and 9 lights on the other. They appeared to be communicating with the right sided UFO with the laser lights. I tried to take pictures, but my cell phone had lost its charge. A few times the laser light ran across the beach. At one time up father in the sky was a bright star. I heard a faint puff sound and noticed that the bright star shaped figured had been shoot at or had exploded on one side. A piece of it started falling through space and appeared to have some flames on it. I followed the flaming piece until it went out of sight. This light show went on until just before dawn. During the time at first I thought it was military but one of the clues that it could be something else was all the time off the incident. The UFO's stayed stationary, although the stars rotated. I could draw a picture if needed.
