Circle over Kailua, HI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Very faint, opaque, white ball of dim light. Traveled from the lowest point in Cassiopeia constellation, up thru the center of Andromeda constellation; at a fast but consistent pace. I described it to my husband as a dull, slow moving meteorite, falling the wrong way.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158476). 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.

Taking pics of Orion about 2 hours after sunset. Noticed Sirius was sparkling like a diamond below. Took picture. Then magnified to see how close i could bring the star. Noticed then the red object( reflecting red from volcanic haze in atmosphere?) I thought it odd and unrecognizable to me.then heard about Chinese surveillance and thought if might be that kind of object. Anyway, thought i would send it to you considering the hoopla in our skies lately.

On a beach stroll at night with my significant other. Her and I noticed a star like circular dot way up high, no different than any other lit star or planet in the night sky. However, the the dot of light began to move at a rapid pace. It had the ability to go the full distance of the sky in mere seconds. This was no shooting star for it did not quickly vanish nor was it a low altitude airplane like craft. We could barely make out the shape before it cut short immediately, lowered slowly at a 90 degree rate and disappeared behind some clouds. I went back out each night hoping to see something similar. And on 5/12 I saw a "star" making similar movements but this time it was much closer to the ground. It was changing direction and getting closer almost as if it noticed me. My neck began to hurt from stargazing so I had to give up and go back inside. But as I kept looking back over my shoulder on my way back, the light became brighter and it felt as i! f it almost was following me home.

Sitting in a parking lot looking at the stars. We noticed a light incredibly brighter than any other star. After about 3-4 minutes it broke off into two separate lights, one on top of the other. We then noticed a red light floating above the two other bright lights. After about 10 min the red light disappeared. After about 5 min the two bright lights morphed back into one. As we were about to leave the light moved quickly to the side and stayed there. After about 10 more minutes, the light disappeared.
