Two lights circling the sky over South Shore sky - Hawaii(video)
FOX / Drudgereport ^ | Andrew Pereira

It's hard to draw a surfer's attention away from the next wave, but whatever was in the northwest sky Friday evening around 6:20 p.m. drew a crowd along Kewalo Basin and Ala Moana Beach Park.

Honolulu resident Peter Hollingworth described as two lights circling in the sky, about 45 degrees above the horizon.

Video of one of the lights was recorded from the Channel 2 SkyCam.

“These two little fireballs with a stream behind it,” said Hollingworth. “Looked kind of like a shooting start but it just kept going. They changed directions a few times, at first it was coming in then it turned, then it went out then it came back in again"

Hollingworth was surfing with his 12 year old son when the unexpected show began.

“I was a little concerned. I told him come over and sit with me - this might be the last surf session we ever have together because this thing's coming straight for Honolulu. It looked deadly to me it was kind of spooky.”

So what was it?

The National Weather Service says nothing showed up on their radar at the time of the sighting and the Federal Aviation Administration didn't report anything unusual.

The U.S. military conducted a missile defense test off of Kauai Friday evening but the test didn't begin until 7:20 p.m.

“This in a sense is an unidentified flying object,” said University of Hawaii astronomy professor Gareth Wynn-Williams. “It's something in the sky that's moving that we haven't identified.”

Wynn-Williams believes there's a simple explanation behind the UFO’s.

“It's probably a contrail of some kind,” he said while watching video of one of the lights at his Kailua home.

The professor says contrails are caused by high flying airplanes burning hydrogen based fuels. One of the byproducts of the fuel exhaust is water.

“The air is very cold so the water condenses and forms like drops very quickly and then these drops stay behind the plane until eventually they warm up and they evaporate.”

Wynn-Williams doubts little green men from Mars are behind the UFO’s.

“Some people just think differently than scientists and they like to look for the fanciest most exciting explanation. Those people would like to think it's little green men, I think that's very unlikely."

According to published reports this is not the first time a UFO has grabbed the attention of Hawaii residents.

In December of 2004 an unexplained streak of light was captured by a camera on Haleakala moving southwest to northeast. No official explanation has been given for that UFO either.

northwest sky Friday evening around 6:20 p.m.

The U.S. military conducted a missile defense test off of Kauai Friday evening but the test didn't begin until 7:20 p.m.

They saw this UFO in the Northwest Sky from Oahu.
What is Northwest of Oahu?
Kauai.
Where is the missile launch test facility?
Kauai.
Where was a missile test scheduled to take place EXACTLY one hour later?
Kauai.


Why would this object appear exactly one hour apart from the missile test, exactly above the missile test facility?

The answer may be in another question:

What is the time difference between Hawaii and the east coast? It varies between 5 and 6 hours, because Hawaii does not use daylight savings time.
What if the missile target was set to go up at the wrong time, an hour too early, because of incorrect accounting of time zone differences by season? Whoops, sorry boss.

Your post is well thought out, reasonably stated, and clearly rooted in a deep and abiding love of truth.

It has no place on this thread.

"1) What kind of man has a hyphenated name?"

My guess would be.,.. his mom got married, and thereby took a hyphenated name.. then maybe divorced and then had a child who then took her hyphenated name instead of the father's name....or something.. *shrug*.. good catch, though.

"2) Aliens are grey, duh!"

Ckearly. That's why they call them the "greys"... "duh" indeed.

The eye witness, Peter Hollingworth, described what he saw as "two lights circling in the sky...they changed directions a few times, at first it was coming in then it turned, then it went out then it came back in again."

Sorry folks, but when do vapor trails exhibit the above mentioned directional changes,huh? Sorry, but I'm not so pretentious as to think that I could tell somebody else (an eye witness) that he didn't see what he says he saw. I'm frequently disappointed by the so-called "scientists" who in an instant of hearing of such an account, try and discredit the eye witnesses. It's amazing how closed minded these jerks can become because they didn't see it themselves.

What's the deal with all the UFO sightings lately?

Same as ever, the difference being they are now threads on FR. There was a time when such threads were deleted immediately.

Probably an alien seasoned citizen who forgot where he lived. That, and he left his left turn signal on for the last quarter million miles.

Anything else is just some cheap palor trick.

As opposed to an expensive "pallor" trick?

Extremely simple answer: weather balloons, used for measuring upper-level winds. Almost certainly they used them before this test, as with any other launch. There's typically a "launch minus 1 hour" balloon.

"Extremely simple answer: weather balloons, used for measuring upper-level winds."

Changing direction, circling and leaving contrails? It's some sort of black project, imho, and this isn't the first sighting in recent weeks of a similar nature with photographs. PsyOps directed at China.
