Hawaii UFO Sightings in 2009

Full Report Text:

This happened at the end of Dec. 2009. I am from Honolulu, HI and I live near Diamond Head.

It was around 8pm at night when my sister and I decided to go to the grocery store to buy a few things. As I was about to get into the car, I saw a bright reddish-orange light in the sky moving slowly. It was a shape of a circle.

My boyfriend was going to go home at that time and was about to leave. I told him to stop the car and to look at the sky. I asked him if that was a plane and he told me it was a small airplane.

But, I was thinking that it could not be a plane at all because it was moving too slowly and usually when you see airplanes at night you would see that it would have a blinking light and a sound passing thru. This bright light I saw didn't have any sound and it was moving too slowly to even be an airplane. It was moving silently in the sky.

Plus, it was a bit cloudy at that time and this thing was flying low underneath the clouds. My uncle was also out! side and it caught his eye. We all were looking at it the whole time.

All of a sudden, that reddish-orange light I saw in the sky stopped moving. Then, I told my boyfriend,"is it just me because now that light just stopped in the sky and now it looks like a star, but it doesn't even look like a star." Then, my boyfriend told me it wasn't just me, he also saw that thing move earlier and now it just stopped.

My uncle was also amazed. At that time, my sister was loosing her patience and was calling me to get into the car. I continued to look at it for another good five minutes.

It could not be a meteor or a comet. It could not be a star because it wasn't twinkling at all. My mother also wanted to come to the grocery store and I looked at her and told her about what we were looking at in the sky.

As I was talking to my mother, my uncle yelled, "wow, it just dissapeared that's really weird." Then, I looked back in the sky and it was really gone. WEIRD! I dunno if it was a UFO an! d maybe it was something else.

Everytime I would tell somebody! about m y experience they would say maybe it was a star, satellite, or a comet. Who knows. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright green light with extreme speed flight pattern over ocean beyond Waikiki, Island of Oahu, 12/06/09 From a vantage point on a hillside facing the ocean beyond Waikiki on a clear starry night, I spotted a bright flash of green light at about the same altitude as my line of sight. The location was over the ocean, some distance offshore of what would be considered as the Diamondhead or Waikiki/Honolulu area of Oahu. The green light flashed once, then streaked several miles to the left in a split second, flashed brightly once more, then went dark momentarily and flashed dimly once more before disappearing.

I watched the area for 5 more minutes but didn't see another occurrence. Commercial aircraft are always passing through the same airspace as this sighting, and as I watched the area after this sighting there were a number of commercial flights moving slowly across the sky with their characteristic small flashing white lights. The speed, color and movement pattern of man-made craft and UFOs are entirely different and as a former flight student, I would never possibly confuse the two.

I have seen the same thing before, from the other side of the island of Oahu, over Kaneohe Bay about 10 years ago. On that occasion there were two of us watching, and we saw the same thing and still talk about it. The green light and flight pattern for that older sighting were much the same as this sighting on 12/06/09, further validating these experiences for me.

I checked the local news the next day and found no reports of sightings, but I find it hard to believe that I was the only witness.

Yellow or gold aerodynamic looking object near Hickman AFB at an unknown distance from camera. While looking south from the USS Arizona Memorial, I noticed occasional military aircraft landing at Hickman AFB. I decided to take a couple of photos of the aircraft, despite having only a 24-70mm zoom.

Of the three photos I took, one includes an unknown yellow or gold object at an unknown distance. I didn't see this object until I viewed my photographs one week later. At the time of the photo, the aircraft did not interact with or chase the object.

Probably didn't see it. I know I didn't see it at the time. My first guess is an airborne hat, much close to me than the aircraft.

But, since I can't tell, I thought I would sent along this report. Photo settings: Nikon D700, Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 lens at 70 mm.

F11, 1/1000, ISO 800, 0ev bias.

Unusually bright, very colorful; pulsating light in the sky, We live on the 27th floor of a highrise condominium building. From my lanai (balcony), I saw an unusually bright, very colorful; pulsating light (noticeably brighter than the brightest star or planet in the normal night sky) above the horizon and between two buildings. I rushed for my Sanyo Xacti Full HD camera and started handheld filming the object.

I noticed the object had moved to the west (right) slowly but rapidly enough to notice. Then the object slowed down again and continued on a westerly (right) path. I filmed until the object went behind the building.

I proceeded to get on my motorbike and drove to the park where I knew I would be able to have an unobstructed view of the sky but I could not find the object again. I checked my astronomy program and determined that the light could not have been Jupiter as it was already below the horizon at the time I was recording.

sighting of unknown blue shaft of light, no object seen At about 18:33 Hawaiian Standard Time on 10/07/2009 I saw for over half an hour a very dark blue shaft of light (color was twice as blue as the clear sky) originating approximately WSW of my location in Kaunakakai, Molokai, Hawaii. This beam was uniform in width and did not vary in width or color until the sun set. I could still see the same light even after the sun set but not the same color.

I could still see the same shape but the color was gradually becoming dark grey, however it was in the same position from my location. This shaft disappeared behind the cloud level about 55 degrees where the cloud level staeted assuming that the horizon is 0 degrees. Below the clouds it was crystal clear.

I estimate the size to be a little smaller than a full moon. Also the shaft of light was not jagged at all, instead it was razor straight. When I got to my next meeting, I asked if anyone else say anything and 9 of 10 men saw exactly what I saw.

One person was ab! out 10 miles WNW from me and he and his grandkids also saw the same shaft of blue light. The curious thing was two wives could not see anything while both husbands saw the light (18:36 at Kaunakakai). At 20:10 I phoned the police to see if anyone reported anything and no one had.

Also I could not tell if the source was from the sky or ocean (there is no land in that direction) but I suspect it came from above as the shaft never wavered in the slightest at any time.

ball of ligh that changes its color from blue green red and white then it moves very suspiciously up down left right then it gets big. when we drove off to 7eleven i saw a roundish ball thats blue but i didnt mind it because i thought it was a star but the thing that bugs me was that it came close then disappeared and then it turned green.when we got to 7eleven we picked my mom but the ball of green blue and red light was still there and then it was moving in a very akward way it was like its trying to tell you something the lots more people came.

we met a pilot and said that that wasnt a plane it was weir and kind of spooky so i told him to take the video and post it on top google videos the i checkedit(aliens over ewa beach and it was there. one thing i'll never understand was that ball changes color white to blue to gree to red the disappears then it gets bigger the small.the object was moving up and down left ot right there were alot of us in 7eleven who saw this weird spooky thing.

i am renz and im 12 yearsold but have never seen anything like it before. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date is approximate. PD)).

2am on 9/18 I saw an oval shape object bright red/orange slowly moved south, stopped, moved north, the moved up and disappeared. I woke up @ 2AM on Sept. 18 to turn on the ceiling fan.

I saw a bright red/orange object off the west cost of the island of Maui. Oval shape. It was in the west - between the islands of Lanai & Molokai.

The object was fairly high up in the sky. When I noticed it, it was heading slowly south. When I woke my husband up to see this, the object just stopped for about 5 seconds, then it started to move again but this time going north.

Then it moved slowly upward and was gone. As it went upward it left behind a tail of dim light. The whole event (from the time I started seeing it) was about 30-60 seconds.

I had seen a similar object exactly a year ago with two other friends. We still never found out what it was and can't seem to get any information. I've even called the observatories here in the islands and no one seems to know.

When I first saw this object a year ago around this same time period, I thought maybe it was a plane on fire, but the fact that it stoppe! d, then re-directed its course, then went straight up in the sky and disappeared, this was something other than a plane. What I saw on the morning of 9/18 had the same flight pattern of what I saw a year ago.

Lights above Kauai beach On the time listed, a friend and I were fishing on the beach we were there for about 90 minutes prior to the event, at the time listed it was dark with a quarter moon in the upper western part of the heavens. At the time listed the friend I was with spotted orange lights, which made me turn towards it, when I looked at it the lights were a row of 6-8 distinctive orange lights parallel to the ocean which were in the process of collapsing, or the row of lights were diminishing starting with the outermost and diminishing to a single orange light, and then no lights. The color was a consistent burnt orange similar to arcturus but brighter, the lights were located about 10 degrees above the horizon in a eastern direction.

A few minutes past when the orange light appeared a little higher and to the left, this time a sustained light output of a single orange light was witnessed which lasted about 7- 9 seconds. 15 minutes later in a northeastern direction, orange lights were witnessed, this time several lit up at once in different locations, taking place within the parameters of a 1 foot radius at arms length, some were sustained, some were slow flashes, at some moments it seemed there were 4-6 separate lights shining at once. The lights all seemed to be about 2-3 miles in distance uring the events.

The object appeared to be eight lights in a bar to the northeast. It was approximately 15 or 20 degrees above the horizon. The impression was that it was a relatively large object The sky was clear.

The weather was good with a few minor clouds. The lights appeared for a few seconds, and flashed much brighter for a few seconds and then quickly faded out. The lights were a warm, orange color.

I have no idea what this could possibly have been, but it certainly was not a phenomena of nature. It was clearly mechanical / manufactured in its appearance.

6 large white symmetrical round lights appear off surf in Haleiwa Oahu. Four of us, (age 45-49, 1 male high school math teacher, 1 female elementary French teacher, 1 female nurse, one male landscaper), sitting watching the waves observed the same sighting. I previously, had heard and observed a commercial jet travelling well overhead .

what made this observation puzzling to me is that the lights (object) made no sound at any time, but the jet and the helicopters were easily audible. A clear and Hawaiian starry sky, no moon in view, when 6 white round lights in perfect straight horizontal row, (size of a Canadian Twoonie), stationary 22 degrees above horizon suddenly appear. Hard to estimate the distance away but perhaps within 2 miles.

After about 10 seconds the left 2 lights drift slightly to the left and then a slight fade of some and then they all go black. They had to be above impact of ocean surf as no beam was evident from any light . they were not “search light” like.

No sound at any time . within a minute helicopters can be heard coming from inland and hover over the general area and then head west up coast. There small search lights were evident.

Within a couple of minutes, one light appears, (in the same area), for about 10 seconds and then goes black. Helicopters return and then head back inland.

Series of extremely large orange lights on the horizon Two horizontal sets of two large orange lights on the horizon illuminated and then extinguished. About 6 degrees to the right one set of two lights illuminated and extinguished. Then six degrees to the right one more set of two lights illuminated and extinguished.

Confirmed sighting with about a dozen people about 1/2 mile down the beach who were equally astonished. Lights were way to large to be associated with man made craft and too stable to be a shooting star, etc. Estimated distance from shore was about 12-15 miles.

Distance between the lights was at least 1/2 mile. Lights were not flares. The following morning there was a great deal of light flashes in the clouds where the first set of lights first appeared.

This is not a normal occurrence for the area.

Colorful U.F.O.

spotted near Hawaii International Airport I work as a Security Officer and have never seen a U.F.O.

before. What I saw was a circular object in the sky approximately 200-250 feet above me. There were strobe lights on the object.

The colors changed from red, green, yellow, purple, orange, blue. There was a reddish colored ball hanging from the object. It was traveling roughly 80-90 miles per hour heading west near Honolulu International Airport, and as you can tell from my description of the colors that were shown in the U.

F.O. This was not an aircraft.

Saw two high-flying reddish balls It was a few minutes before five in the morning. I stepped outside and looked up as the sky was clear and dark, not semi-cloudy as usual. I was looking at the constellations when I noticed a moving light coming from the north, and it stayed in my sight as it continued in a straight line at a high altitude across the heavens and gradually disappeared from view, toward the south.

I immediately thought it was a satellite, as I had seen one at that time of day several years ago, and reported it. But then while I was thinking about that, another one came right behind it, following the same path. No sound.

The size appeared like a planet, maybe, and the warm color seemed more glowing than flashing. There were also a couple of meteorites, which appeared white and fell downward and disappeared. All that in the space of under five minutes.

Then I got tired of having my neck bent backward looking up, so I went in the house.

series of 16 green/led-like fluttering spherical objects rise in the NE .noiselessly proceed to S W and continue ascending over the Koolau Mountains . we tracked them with naked eye sight into the clouds .

at some 100o feet of altitude just hovering at the Ridges above some 1 -2 miles distant . even with cumulus clouds and a nearly full moon o cannot determine if these were land-launched objects . or some other phenomena .

whatever it was it was, we enjoyed it . remarkably , we were having such a wondrous observation none of us thought to take any fotos . we will do better next time !.

we saw a steaking white light flying over the water then it stopped. it looked like a jet was following it, when the jet caught up the whole craft lit up very bright and the jet took off the other way really fast. the craft hovered there in place for a few more seconds then it took off moving very fast to our right.

blueish greenish ball of light It was a blueish greenish ball with a light yellowish tail. It was falling from the sky and then disappeared. I was in my mom's apartment on Alexander St.

in Honolulu looking out the sliding glass door towards Kaimuki and it suddenly appeared. No one else saw it because it was too quick when I told my son to look it disappeared. She lives right next to the freeway and I'm wondering if anyone else saw it.

It was awesome!!.

Intermittent flashing light, unmoving, near Western shoulder of Orion Monday, Jan 19 about 7:45. It was a cloudless night here in Eastern Oahu, Hawaii. I had been looking at Venus, then looking for the Milky Way.

When I looked up at Orion, I saw a flash of light. I waited, and soon it flashed again. It was positioned "above" Orion's Left "shoulder" (West-North-West+-) or the right side of Orion as you look at it (Orion was lying on his right side).

When it blinked again I began to count. I counted to seven between blinks, some were dimmer, some brighter. I went inside to try to find a place to report it or look it up if it was a satellite, to no avail, for half an hour.

When I went back outside it was no longer visible (8:15). It did NOT appear to be moving, or, it may have been moving VERY slowly. I've watched satellites before, seen them traveling West to East and North to South.

I know there are geostationary satellites, but I've never seen a blinking one before. My best guess is a rocket booster that became geostationary (since others have seen it in the same position) and as it turns end-over-end it also spins and some sides may reflect better. Then perhaps it 'disappeared" as it entered Earth's Shadow? I did explore other websites, and on ATS (Above Top Secret) people in Africa, Texas and Finland described EXACTLY what I saw.

Bright Light, moving left to right, and then right to left, and then dimming, disappearing, and then reappearing To whom it may concern, I witness an unidentified object. It appeared to be a planet like Venus. I looked in the westbound direction, probably heading 270 from my vantage point from the east looking directly west.

It was above the West Maui Mountains. It was clear night. The star or light, was very bright and getting brighter in intensity.

It was then moving slowly, from left to right. and then it would stop. and then it would move again, right to left.

And then, it would dim, until it was completely out of sight. It was at least at a 60 degree angle slant range from my point of view. It was very high above the mountains, not near any horizon or clouds or sea level horizon.

It was at a 60 degree angle. and then it would reappear, and it would become a bright light again. This pattern would continue for about 10-15 minutes.

I don't think it was any clouds or atmosphere, because I the visibility was clear, light winds, no clouds, and clear night skies. You could see other stars blinking continuously, and you could see the Hawaii night sky. I cannot say that it was in fact an flying saucer, or UFO, but I do not believe it was a planet nor a star.

A planet does not move, from side to side, a star blinks, it does not dim for 1 minute and then turn bright for the next minute. and then after this pattern repeatedly, it completely disappeared, and the light never reappeared. If it was Venus, it would have come back into view, I continued to watch the night sky for another whole hour.

Same direction, same area, and the light never reappeared.
