Light over Haiku (Maui), HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright light moving erratically high in the sky North/Northeast. Light would appear bright then disappear and then reappear and move erratically - sometimes striking across the sky and then disappearing. A few times it seemed to explode into a grouping of smaller lights and then disappears. Once it appeared as four lights in a perfect square. Tried to photograph, but couldn’t.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144678). 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.
