UFO Reports from the State of Hawaii

The state of Hawaii is certainly not known as a UFO hotspot, but occasionally we do see a report from the Pacific Ocean state. Here are two reports from the state; Mysterious UFO over Hawaii, and Soaring High above the Waters off of Kaanapali Beach. Let's look at a couple more.

Schofield Barracks - 08-09-12

Non-moving object or light, flashing red, blue, green over a mountain range by Schofield. I was lying in bed reading, my husband was sleeping, when I had the strange feeling that I should get up and look out of our bedroom window.

It was like a thought that came - get up, because there's something out there. I got up and walked to the window, moved the curtain and turned the blinds, and saw way off in the distance (between a palm tree and a regular tree across the street, in a northwesterly direction) a bright light the size of a large star, but flashing red, green and blue.

I watched it for about 5 minutes and it never moved. I watched closely to see if it was just a star twinkling (all the stars twinkle here in Hawaii every night), but I dismissed that because of the colors repeatedly flashing.

I urged my husband to wake up and come look, to confirm that he saw it too. He reluctantly got up and came to the window, but was too sleepy and tried to focus on anything, and he went back to bed. I stayed at the window another 15-20 minutes to monitor this thing flashing colored lights, and it never once moved.

I kept thinking, 'This has got to be a star, or a pole/antenna on top of the mountain range - it's not moving an inch.' Shortly after midnight, black clouds covered the entire area and I could no longer see the flashing colored lights or any other stars.

I pinpointed the exact spot I saw this light by using the trees as landmarks - the light was just above the bottom-most branch of the palm tree, on the right side of the regular tree and the left side of the palm tree. I tried taking a picture or video of the flashing lights, but it was so far away that it didn't register on my camera or video camera.

When I woke up this morning, I went straight to the window to see if the light could have been a pole/antenna on top of the mountain range next to Schofield - and based on the position of the light relative to the palm tree - there's no way.

The light was clearly in the sky, not supported in any way by the mountain range - the mountains were far below the spot where I saw the light flashing various colors.

Honolulu - 04-11-12

A light appeared within a stationary cloud, finally going out and the cloud dissipated rapidly. I have two floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom that I keep the curtains pulled back to enjoy the cityscape lights at night.

Looking out the window while sitting in the bed about 11:00 PM, I saw a little cloud about 1/2 - 1 mile away. It appeared to be shaped like the state of Virginia.

With the Spring winds blowing from the northeast; oddly it was completely still about 100 - 200 ft. higher than I am on the 30th floor. It was located just south of Punchbowl crater, out over the city. After I noticed it wasn't moving in the winds, I began to study its shape from the reflected light of the city streets below.

Then a light appeared in the cloud, like you see when an airplane is letting down through clouds at night with the landing light on. First the light was fuzzy inside the cloud then, the light became a bright peachy-orange color.

It broke out of the cloud and I was trying to adjust my eyes to make sure it really wasn't a plane. The light became clear and brighter, in a full circle/ball shape, about center of the cloud.

It was a stable light, not flickering like a burning flare appears. Then the round light went back into the cloud with about half the round shape visible/hanging out of bottom of the cloud, bright on the bottom and diffused in the cloud.

Suddenly the light just went out. From the lights of the city, the little cloud was still visible with a black, perfectly round hole in it. The little cloud didn't just drift off, it quickly faded away without moving.
