Following is a summary of UFO activity in the Hawai- ian area, 2 August to 5 August 1965. Five UFO's ~1ere re- ported. One of them (part b) received tvidesprcad head- lines in Hawaii resulting in increasad reporting and pub- licity. regarding UFO's. a. On 3 Augu3t, 0600Z (3/2000 local) a family living in Waikiki beach reported bright lights movin3 across the sky at high altitudes and on various headings. Tne lights appeared to change colors from red to blue. During the telephone conversation with the family, I was able to ob- serve the sky from a position approximately 7 miles from Waikiki. I saw no!:hing except sowe bright stars. Since no one else reported the lights, even though they reportedly we~e flying over a heavily populated area, I conside r the report to be non-significant. b. On 4 AuUSt, 0644Z (3/20!.-.4 lccal) nuw~rous sight- ings were made of an object which fell from the sky south- west of Oahu. The reports differed on the colors but all agreed that it was a very bright light. Two pilots ~vho "'ere flying at 31,000' on the 2030 radial 180 ~"1'1 out of Honolulu VORTAC said it ~vas bright enough to illuminate the cockpit as it fell to the north of the~. Both pilots believed that it burned out before hitting the t-T.:lter. Observers from the Pacific missile range said it appeared to the:-: to look like a re-entry vehicle. The tHo pilots said i.t finally broke into three pieces before it burned o~t. Our investigatior. reve~led t~at it could not have been f~om U.S. space operations -~nd it is unlikely that it ~;~s Russian. Tentative a~al~s~s i s that it was a meteor or less likely, a decaying spnc e vehicle, which fell approx- ima t c1.y 100 to 150 ~'1-f south~7C5~ of O~hu at p osition c. On l~ Augus!: at 1230Z ( npp.cox:i.~a tely) the crcr.v o a TAC C-130 cnroute from Travis AFB to Hicl~am AFJ ob3ervcd a l1ish altitude, high speed UFO pass directly overhead on hendicg 2290. Location of the aircraf t was 125W to 128t~- 35N, altitude 20,000'. Object was a bright light. (1) Ocean station November sighted the sc:1mc ob- ject and reported that it lit up the whole sky as it passed overhead. (2) Investigation ievealed th~t it was probably a~ A:las missile fired from Vandenburg AFB. The bright lig~t over ocean station Nove~er resulted from a flash fi from fuel still left in the booster on separation. Ti=::e of the missile firing t-Ias 1243Z. This tvas 13 winutes la r t1:1an the sighting reported by the aircraft. Ho\v- ev0.-::, the aircrew Has not exactly sure of the time . There- fo-::-;::, I believe t:1e sighting and the missile flight ~1ere in fact one and the same. d. On 5 Au3ust, at 13112, several aircraft at 28-33N/ 145':7, reported a rocket firing from ti'"te surface of the ocean. The object climbed rapidly and flew into the clo~ds on heading 049. One aircraft also reported a g~o~p of five ships within the area of the launch. (J) A qi.!E:ry to Cif!CI'ACFLT OPS :'"LOT revealed that the sighting \Alas probably a navy op~ratlon being conducted in that area at that ti@e. e. Also on 5 August at 0500Z, a teenager r eported a bright light in the sky. Since no other details we=e available, and no other reports made, the sighting was ruled non-significant and no investigation was made. 2.
