Light over Kapaau, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I saw 25 or more white lights appearing over the E horizon flying SW in a single file, straight line formation, many quite close in the front becoming further apart toward the end. They were traveling a little faster than a "satellite " and were about the same size, seemed quite distant, same brightness as a medium sized star. Lost sight of them toward the S.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150671). 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.
