Formation over Wailea, Maui, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were at the Grand Wailea Hotel on the lawn just prior to the beach when my daughter spotted a string of lights move in unison across the sky. She pointed it out to her mom and myself (dad) and we watched these lights move in unison like a bead pearl necklace across the sky in formation from North to South. They moved in complete unison as if attached, and at times faded in brightness in and out. It moved pretty slowly and I managed to get video on my cellphone as they went out of view. Interestingly, friends of ours (2) on the big Island witnessed the same event from their island at approximately the same time we found out the next day.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153458). 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.
