National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 6/13/2001 20:40 (Entered as : 06/13/01 20:40) Reported: 6/14/2001 00:08 Posted: 8/5/2001 Location: Kailua Kona, HI Shape: Circle Duration: 5 min. Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object
Bright red,Beautiful. Thought it was an atmospheric condition veiw of possibly the planet of Mars, but it was pulsating and something just felt different. I then veiwed it with my high powered binoculars and again it was strange. My partner and I veiwed it for about 3 minutes just stationary and I was thinking how much fun it would be if I had a high powered telescope and then I started to see it move south east, this is when I knew I was seeing something incredible ! It was now a moving object. It continued to move southeast in a straight line and faded out. I'm quite greatful to witness such a sighting, I hope others saw it this evening. I'm a very well known professional artist and can't wait to incorporate this into my work, and I must say my mind is open even more! ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness, and found him to be a very sober-minded, believable individual. He described the event in very objective, unambiguous terms. We would welcome other reports from anyone else who might have witnessed the event. PD))
