Disk over Kapa'a, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hello everyone. Around 5 PM, I went out to a ranch that overlooked Lihu'e, I was just walking, looking at cows and I turned around, out of the blue, a round UFO looking-thing just came out of nowhere. It had red and yellow-ish lights and it looked like it was hovering over Lihu'e. After a few moments it started to descend into Lihu'e, and eventually, it landed and disappeared or the lights shut off. Did anyone else see this? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143249). 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.
