Sighting Report - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, 7 May 1965

This document consists of a series of incoming military messages and standardized sighting report forms regarding an unidentified aerial object observed over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on May 7, 1965. The reports, filed by the 26th Air Division, describe a single object that appeared as bright as the brightest planet. The object was observed moving from west to east at a very high speed. One report notes the observation lasted seven minutes, while another specifies the object was sighted at an angle of 35 degrees elevation, disappearing below the horizon on a bearing of 250 degrees. The military investigation concluded that the object was a satellite. While it was explicitly noted that the ECHO I and ECHO II satellites were not in the area at the time, the report suggests the object may have been the Pegasus satellite or another visible satellite. The reports emphasize that the incident was regarded as a satellite sighting rather than a UFO report. The messages were distributed to various military commands, including CINCPAC, CINCSAC, and NORAD, and were also readdressed to the CIA for further awareness.
