Identified

Unknown over Ewa Beach, HI

Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.

The report, as filed

I've sent a few pictures that I think you might find interesting. Or at least give a plausible explanation. One is a close up of the object in question and the other is the actual photo of the sunset with the object upper-center-left appearing as a small dot. The third is the object closer and has moved to upper-center-right. Please note: neither my girlfriend or I noticed the object when the photos were taken. Not until this morning when I was looking at the pictures did I see them yet they are clearly visible. Look forward to hearing from you and hearing what you think we are seeing here. Location: Nimitz Beach, Oahu, Directly across the street from the US Coast Guard Station. Date: 21 October 23 Time: ~6:00PM [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179019). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Ewa Beach, HI

I took my dog out to pee. As I looked South, I glanced up to see a bright white light with orange trails on each side fly straight down, eventually behind a cloud. Light was moving at an incredible rate of speed. No sounds could be heard, no flash or faint sound of impact. USMC veteran from Air Wing, this was no aircraft. I have seen shooting stars this was not like that either. Maybe a meteorite but unusual to have a trail on both sides and no sound of impact.

Ewa Beach, HI

A red light was spotted hovering very low over Ewa beach area. It stood still for a minute or so and started "dancing" in place. Then it slowly started increasing its height and distance from where it was first spotted. As it started slowly reaching the cloud level, it shot into space at a super fast speed only seeing a blurr of red light disappear into the sky.
