Egg shapped orange Moon object over Hawaii neighborhood. My mother and I were driving down Ainaloa Boulevard toward Highway 11 at 7:20pm at night on 12/20/2006 and looking toward the ocean low in the sky above the Ainaloa neighborhood we both saw what we thought was the moon, a glowing orange colored oval and egg shaped object partially obscured by trees and what looked like a little bit of a cloud. We both commented "look at the moon" and then we felt an eerie feeling and it disappeared within 2 seconds.

We both then said "what was that!" My mother described it as large and egg shaped if the egg was vertical with the bottom being straighter than the top. My mother also said that the right had side of it was obscured by something. This object was motionless in the sky and was the relative size of the moon, if the moon had been out that night but it wasn't, and the sky was clear with billions of visible stars.

We both felt that the moon couldn't go behind a cloud that fast and even if it did, there would be some sort of a glow around the clouds as they covered it. It was as if someone turned off the light once they knew we could see them. This incident was reported to local Newspaper office.

8 year old Daughter and friend experience sighting and interaction with UFO in Hawaii. My 8 yr old daughter and her friend were sleeping in out screen room and were woken by strong wind, loud crash. Saw what they think might be meteor shower.

then a saucer with lights, hovering. It made a huge mechanical noise like a public safety siren for a while, stoppped and left. Immediately a red host of light, multi-laser like entered the room and focused on them, they were not able to touch themselves or each other; they heard themselves talk, but couldnt hear the other.

Light left, they felt induced to sleep, and woke up an hour or so later, bumping their heads, they saw lights on the mountain in view about a mile away, then flashing swirling lights in the adjacent sky. These girls exhibit no indication of a prank, or collusion; I video taped an interview with them to record their exerience. One item of interest is that they both remember having a vivid dream prior to being awoken the first time, then again, the same dream during the brief sleep.

different dreams but both dreamed identical dream twice. I have no indication to disbelieve the story; she will not sleep by herself tonite. she insist to sleep with her parents.

One minute sighting of massive football sized sphere about 2000 ft up Thursday October 5th at approximately 7:45pm I was out on the back lanai (porch) of the 26th floor of my building putting my dinner dishes to dry in the hot outside air. The cloud formation next to the full moon that night was very unusual so I kept staring at it. It became more solid white and then something lowered through it.

The shape of the object was spherical and very massive, about 2000 ft. up. The sides of the sphere were tall, it was not a flat sphere.

My son was present with me and he became frightened and ran inside. Then as the sphere lowered more over the Ala Wai canal, just a little west of Diamond Head Crater, a green channel of light was extended down from the craft and that channel of light did not touch any of the apartment buildings or the street below. I called son back to see the channel of light and he described the same thing that I saw, that the green channel of light did not touch all the way down.

The object we saw lasted only one minute in the sky above us.

Two "Dancing" lights rising from the east traveling upwards over Lihue, Kauai just after 1:00 am 30 Sept. Two pale blue-green lights were spotted appraching from the east (from direction of Lihue airport). Figuring it was a plane, it got my attention when there was no noise accompaning them.

I pointed it out to my friend just as one of the lights seemed to pendulum-swing from the light above it and shadow it in a dog-fight like formation. The lights seemed to almost be connected and seemed to bounce off each other and overlap or collide like two balloons dancing. The lights went westward over the sky as they appeared to gain altitude until they disappeared straight over ahead within a minute of their first appearance.

Strange pulsating bright colored lights. I was woken up by the brightest light I'd ever seen, yellow, beaming in my bedroom window. I looked out the window, saw nothing, but everything was lit up like noon, even brighter, and directly overhead, with no sound.

Suddenly the light turned red, then started pulsing different colors, very evenly and rhythmically. My grand daughter saw it, and my freind (10 miles away also saw it, and said it was directly overhead her, at the same time). The next morning we all had a hard time remembering it at all, when I think about it, I realize I had NEVER seen lights as bright as this, they were reds, yellows, green, orange, blue.

Sept. 7, 2006 MAUI, HAWAII 8:45 PM a bright light in the sky moved left to right then shot straight up and disappeared Sittting with my uncle and aunt on a bench over looking the sea in Maui, the night was clear and there were many stars out. As we were star gazing we noticed one star appeared brighter.

We then noticed that it was moving slowly, then faster. It moved from left to right, then towards us. Then all of a sudden it went straight up into the sky and disappeared.

It was not a shooting star nor was it a plane. We all saw it and can't explain what it could have been. My uncle who has a lot of knowledge of the night skies was unable to explain what we all seen.

If a picture is worth 1000 words than this one is worth $1,000,000! DISCLAMER: I don't believe in UFO's or aliens from another world! So posting this is not easy for me, but this is too unexplainable to keep all to myself. This entire event happened within a five minute period and I had 4 other eyewitnesses. I noticed this object in the sky while helping my son fly a kite in the park.

It took me about thirty seconds to realize it was not a kite as it was about 300 feet higher than the kite I was flying. The object seemed to be stationary, but I soon realized that it was slowly moving higher and vertical. As I ran to another friend also flying a kite and asked him "what's that in the sky" he was baffled as well.

I then grabbed my camera and start taking pictures. My camera is expensive and takes great shots but I'm an amateur photographer and could not lock the focus on an object that was moving away, getting smaller and had nothing but blue sky's and clouds as a backdrop. I took a total of 10 pictures and to my amazement, one out of ten came out perfectly clear (by luck) to reveal something that is very hard to explain.

I cannot describe the object other than it looks like a very large white camera with a large lens looking downward with four booster rockets and two fuel pods all of which are perfectly symmetrical in shape! Yeah, I know; crazy huh? As I tried to rationalize what it might be, I dismissed that it was a weather balloon, US aircraft, satellite and defiantly not a kite. What ever it was, it wasn't moving with the wind and it was still visible far beyond the cloud layer meaning that the sunlight was reflecting off of this object. I dare not show or send this photo out to anyone unless they are willing to pay very well for it.

If there really are aliens and spaceships from another world, I may have one of few real pictures as proof! The most logical but still crazy explanation I can come up with other than it being from another world is that some foreign country has developed advance spying technology that can silently hover over American land and then return home at altitudes over 40,000 feet!.

10-15 ft. diameter amazingly bright, glowing, hovering orbs We were driving home when we saw these two extremely bright orbs hovering over this field. We were kind of in the country and traffic was low.

We thought it was strange because we had no idea what it was, and we had never seen anything that bright before. We found a run-down dirt road off of the pavement to get a closer look. The orbs were about 10-15 feet in diameter and were amazingly bright.

We have no idea what they were or why they were there. We did not have a camera with, nor did we go any closer because they were over private property with "No Trespassing" signs posted everywhere. Maybe it is something for an upcoming 4th of July ceremony, but it was too weird to be normal.

I think.

A large stealth dark spherish object, with no lights or noise, at close range to barking sands beach kauai stealth like no color or lights, 1 object. dark hawaii sky star light behind it was the only thing making it visible with no moon. It was hard to get a range, I would say less than 5 miles, so it had to be fairly large like an air ship as opposed to a light aircraft, no noise or lights, I work nights Military security, my wife and I walked out to the beach I wanted to show her the stars, and I noticed a cloud looking shadow hanging 45 degrees off the beach.

I am used to looking at the sky at night working midnights, at first I thought it was a shadow from losing part of my night vision due to lights, but she confirmed she was seeing it at the same time. We both felt like it was something there. it seemed to me to be stealthy and observing and my wife and I felt compelled to walk away.

I went back 10 minutes later to see if it was a cloud or something, there were no clouds in the sky and it was gone.
