Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, Honolulu, Hawaii, 7 December 1967

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in Honolulu, Hawaii, on December 7, 1967. The witness, Mrs. Clare Loring, an artist and art critic at the University of Hawaii, reported observing a bright light in the sky for approximately 90 seconds. She described the object as a bright point of light with radiating streaks, which changed color from white to red at roughly one-second intervals. The object traveled in an ESE direction before disappearing behind the St. Louis Heights Hills. Mrs. Loring initially thought the object might be a rocket, but noted its movement and color changes were unlike any rocket she had previously seen. The report includes a completed Sighting of Unidentified Phenomena Questionnaire (AFR 80-17), which provides details on the witness's location in her garden, the lack of physical evidence or photographs, and the absence of any noise or odor. The report was processed by the 6486th Air Base Wing and signed by SGT Barbara J. Estes on December 21, 1967. A copy of the report was forwarded to Dr. Condon at the University of Colorado. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the sighting was 'Probable (AIRCRAFT)' and consistent with the description of an aircraft.
