A Mysterious Streak Above Hawaii (Footage)

Go to the website to see the footage. Its a bit slow right now because everyone is checking it out.

Explanation: What in heavens-above was that? Not everything seen on the night sky is understood. The Night Sky Live (NSL) project keeps its global array of continuously updating web cameras (CONCAMs) always watching the night sky. On the night of 2004 December 17, the fisheye CONCAM perched on top of an active volcano in Haleakala, Hawaii, saw something moving across the night sky that remains mysterious. The NSL team might have disregarded the above streak as unconfirmed, but the Mauna Kea CONCAM on the next Hawaiian island recorded the same thing. The NSL team might then have disregarded the streak as a satellite, but no record of it was found in the heavens-above.com site that usually documents bright satellite events. If you think you have a reasonable explanation for the streak, please contribute to the on-line discussion. Current candidates include a known satellite that was somehow missed by heavens-above, a recently launched rocket, and a passing space rock. Volunteers are solicited by the NSL project to help monitor the operability of each NSL CONCAM, including looking for interesting anomalies such as this. Disclosure: Robert Nemiroff collaborates on both the NSL and APOD projects.

Weird. It reminds me of the video taken from the space shuttle that shows something streak through the sky then turn at a sharp angle.

Wow.....

An Iiridium satelite flare. Looks too long though and they are usually pretty well documented ahead of the actual flare.

There's no need to fear, Underdog is near

[AppyPappy]

It wasn't me.

AH...A fresh contingent of Bigfoots to replace those whose tours are up. I remember that Bigfoot sightings seem to increase with UFO sightings - at least around here. Our local one must have moved on or died.

Aliens coming to Earth in meteorites to suck out our brains and enslave our women?

Too cliche?

[Edgerunner]

It's a mother ship...

On two occasions, when I go up north into the bush, I've seen what looks to me like a fast flying satellite, only it is always travelling north. I don't know much about this stuff, but shouldn't wouldn't a satellite generally be following an east-west orbit. Twice I saw it last summer.

They're bringing Elvis back. He only had a 30 year contract to play the Sands on Proxima Centauri II. ;-)
