Lights seen from the night sky 1st night-flickering & moving around the sky as if inspecting the clouds-movin up & down-sideways & lighting up clouds with a beam-as thought of near star Vega but a star does not move in these ways-Milky Way if in the sky over the ocean! So clear & dark-hope someone is filming-I have seen 3 say 1-towards Hana, Oahu Molokai Wow.

Two bright lights at altitude over Kapolei Bicycling in Mililani shortly after sundown. Saw two bright lights over Kapolei. One was much brighter than the other.
They were both horizontal over the horizon, at about 6,000 feet if judged in comparison with the Waianae Mountains. Too bright to be a star or planet. Didn't move like a plane.

We were walking to dinner looking at end of street when I looked up and there was a line of lights moving across the sky. As they slowly moved across the sky in a line a plane or an object flew behind them that I assume was a plane. As the plane moved its way to intersect, the lights dispersed or disappeared.
((NUFORC Note: We have amended the time above. Space-X satellites?? PD)).

25 or more white lights flying in straight single-file line. My wife and I saw 25 or more white lights appearing over the E horizon flying SW in a single file, straight line formation, many quite close in the front becoming further apart toward the end. They were traveling a little faster than a "satellite " and were about the same size, seemed quite distant, same brightness as a medium sized star.
Lost sight of them toward the S.

String of lights in the sky above Kona moving together in an absolutely razor perfect line at the same rate of speed. Lights appeared to be at an extremely high altitude and spread out over several miles, possibly a hundred or more.Moves SSE at a somewhat slow pace, but in unison, gradually disappearing one by one.

Multiple satellites connected with a solid streamer Just outside of Turtle Bays outside restaurant. 7pm on the dot. I walked my son to the park benches near the water to watch the waves and I noticed 4 other people watching what appeared to be 20-30 white light satellites all in a perfect linear line orbiting the earth at a very high rate of speed.
The lights did not flash in or out, brighten or dim. They stayed the same level of brightness throughout their orbit until the light was blocked from the Earth and they disappeared. The lights appeared to be connected with streamers from the first all the way to the rear.
The streamers were the same diameter, level of brightness, and general distance from satellite to satellite as if they were in synchronization. The streamers also did not dim or get brighter with flairs of light. Everything was very consistent from one horizon to the other.
It is important to state the altitude was also similar to one of a satellite, these were not close to standard aviation level! s. Good luck and look up.

At approximately 7:05 a line of about 70-100 or so lights in the sky, which looked like stars we’re flying in straight formation, moving from northwest direction to south. All 5 of us saw it from our back deck in Waiehu, Maui. None of us were drinking or on any mind altering substances and knew what we just saw.

The light was white with flashing green and red lights. It hovered in one area going up and down then left to right. I have never believed in aliens but this has got me thinking.
Full Report Text:
What I saw was not any aircraft, it was massive amount of booms and visual explosions that was all over in every direction, the first time I saw this I would say it lasted at least 90 seconds to 2 minutes, I could see the explosions all over the skyline in different areas every time towards kihei to kahului and wailuku the only direction I never saw it in was up towards haleakala, it was a quiet night no wind and semi cloud coverage, I was so afraid and the incident lasted so long I truly thought we were being bombed I ran inside shut all my doors and windows looked out my front door towards kihei and saw more flashes along with booms, I woke up my husband made him come out to the porch and he caught the last few booms and explosions said it was weird went back to the bedroom, I went on fb to the local news page and briefly detailed my experience asking if anyone else saw it and near 50-60 people shared there experience of the event which was included in laha! ina and hana and haiku everyone was ruling out gun shots,transformers blowing and fireworks, we were all so confused on what caused it hoping maybe it was meteors in our atmosphere but the explosions were so low in the atmosphere it seemed to be just above town with zero damage being reported. Since that night there have been consistent reports of booms and flashes at random times of night by locals on fb. I'm a heavy smoker and have spotted at least 10 since that 1st incident.
Something is up, lots of people are reporting it, I have saved as many screenshots of every report I have seen posted if anyone is curious. Mahalo and be safe. Something is up and I'm scared.

STREAKING LIGHT IN TEAL GREEN COLOR LIKE A LASER LIGHT IN DAYLIGHT? Saturday, September 28th while driving to Lahaina just before Launiopoko Beach while checking out Surf at the old dump around 8am a streaking thin teal green light over Lanai disappeared then streaked again and disappeared again, it looked like someone was using a laser light, must have lasted 1 second each time, but it was sunny, so hard to imagine a laser light.

UFO over Hawaii We took 2 pictures on top of Diamond head in Oahau, HI. One picture shows a UFO. The next picture shows the UFO is gone.
The pictures were taken only seconds apart.
Full Report Text:
My wife and neighbors wife were in our driveway when I was called outside as they observed two moving stars running parallel with each other headed east. I then observed about a minute later a single star light moving north then my wife and neighbor saw two moving east again but cannot tell if these are same two lights turning around as they fly pretty straight and out of our view. I then observed a single star light moving northward.
These “ star lights “ were white in color and left no trail of any kind in its wake. It’s speed were consistent, silent with no blinking lights indicating aircraft. I am a former FAA aircraft inspector and recently retired welding inspector with decades of observation experience.
This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed things in the night sky but tonight was the longest duration and the amount of objects left me wondering. I know satellites cruise along but usually one at a time and that’s it, not seemingly making loops around th! e sky but still very cool.
Full Report Text:
I thought it was lightning. It light up the dark sky, and then I heard a crashing sound. When I went outside there was clear skies.
I waited to see if more "lighting " would occur but nothing after 20 min. Checked weather no reports of thunder or lightning in the area.
Full Report Text:
Four vertical lights, evenly spaced, top three lights LED white, bottom light LED red. Observed at Kapalua looking up and out to the right of Molokai in open ocean, silently descending from stratosphere toward horizon where sky meets water. Took about 3 minutes for bottom red light to reach horizon, then they moved to the left in unison, remaining in perfect vertical formation and disappeared in front of Molokai cliffs.
Project Loon perhaps?.
Full Report Text:
Green spherical “Orb” traveling exceedingly fast east to west at apparent low altitude over Oahu. Spherical object. Phosphorescent green.
Moving east to west at amazing speed. Object appeared to be extremely low. It passed over valley in less than 1 second (valley +/- .
75 miles across). When directly overhead object appeared to be the size is a “normal” chewing gum ball. I was certain the object would collide into the valley ridge.
It did not. The trajectory would have let the object pass over central Oahu but there were no reports of the object nor reports of falling/colliding objects. Estimating speed of object difficult but based upon a comparative analysis of commercial jet aircraft that take approximately the same vector daily, one could assume the UFO was traveling in excess of 3000 mph (perhaps significantly faster).
No trailing sparks or fumes. No sound. Lasting impressions: 1.
Appeared very low yet cleared all obstacles (path was linear). 2. The glowing green color was firm; no radiating haze.
3. Amazing no one else saw this albeit it’s speed was astronautical.
