National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 2/18/2008 19:15 (Entered as : 02/18/08 19:15) Reported: 2/18/2008 10:00:48 PM 22:00 Posted: 3/4/2008 Location: Kapaa, HI Shape: Light Duration: 30 seconds
My wife and daughters went outside to look at the moon and she said to me "there are two ufo's flying over.My three year old said,"daddy there's a rocket ship". When I got outside one of the lights had flown behind the trees and the other I was able to follow for a few seconds before it went behind the trees.It was a ball of light yellow/orange in color. There are only a few trees there and when the light I was tracking came into view it was alone. We continued watching it fly east for about 20 or more seconds, until it reached the horizon. I would say it was about 10 to 20 times brighter than the brightest star. This occurred just before the stars were becoming visible. The object flew faster than an airplane and made no sound. Also, it flew pretty straight, but unlike an airplane or satellite ,it seemed to wobble or waiver.
