Light over Wailea, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I witnessed a flashing white light fly across the sky at a fast pace which I thought may be a plane, but way too fast for that, then once it reached a certain point in the sky it completely stopped. Then the white light turned red and proceeded to drop down in the sky (in a way it would land) and then it completely disappeared. The other witnesses had seen something similar about 15 minutes prior to me seeing something but the light had come towards them and then turned red before vanishing, so what I witnessed looked like it was returning to where it came from.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144660). 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.

I was look from my deck when I saw a strange cyan dot west of me about 30 degrees up from my position. So I watched for a bit and thought it was a helicopter but when it started to move I thought a plane but then it stopped mid air and then the lights were extremely bright for a few second not blinding but similar to a laser pointer almost aimed at your eye. It moved in straight lines stopping after moving evry few seconds where it would stop on a dime and then without turning it would move again in a different direction. Sadly it left my pov by going behind the house next to mine and I couldn’t see it anymore. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Approximately 7:50pm saw what appeared to be a missile shoot straight up into the sky at high altitude towards Lahaina. Not certain if this could be from Barking Sands on Kauai. Was perhaps 3 miles high when ignited and climbed to approximately 4 miles, went out for a second, reappeared and then out....total time of climb approximately 1 minute. Left a vapor trail which lingered for approximately 10-14 minutes which was a swirl pattern. Lovely and eerie to behold. Probable launch of an "Aegis" anti-missile rocket at 19:35 hrs.. PD
