's in Hawaii -2 August to 5 August 1965 ro: AFSC (FTD) W~i5ht-Patterson AFB, Ohio . 1. Following is a summary of UFO activity in the Hawai- ia~ area, 2 August to 5 August 1965. Five UFO's were re- pcrted. One of them (part b) r eceived widespread head- l es in Hawaii r esulting in increased reporting and pub- licity_ regarding UFO's a. On 3 August , 0600Z (3/2000 local) a family living in ~aikiki beach reported bright lights moving across the sk-y at high altitudes and on various headings. The lights appeared to change colors from red to blue. During the te~ephone conversation with the family, I was able to ob- s erve the sky fro~ a position approximately 7 miles from Waikiki. I saw nothing excep t some bright stars. Since . ne else repo ed the lights, even though the y reportedly were flying over a heavily populate d area, I conside r the repo r t t o b e non-sig~ificant. b. On 4 Augt~st, 0644Z (3/2044 local ) numerous sight- ings wer e ma de of an object "'hich fell f rom the s k y s outh - est of Oahu. The reports differed on the colors but all a g=eed that it wa s a very bright light. Two pilots who ~vere flying at 31,000' on the 2080 r a d ial 18 0 ~lli out of Honolulu VORTAC said it \vas bright enough to i lluminate the cockpit as it f ell to the north o f them. Both pilots believed that it burned out before hitting the water. Qj s arvers from the Pacific missile rang e said i t appeared t o t~e::t to look like a re-entry vehicle . The t~1o pilot s said i~ finally broke into three piec e s before i t burned o -C~r investigation reveal e d that it could not have bee~ f=o~ U.S. s pace operations -and it is unlike l y that i t o r.s Russian. Tentative anal ys i s is that it wns a meteor o r les s likely, a d ecaying spac e vehicle , whi ch fell approx- inately 100 to 150 NM s ou t hwest o f Oahu at position c. On 4 August at 1230Z (np:>roximately) the cret.v o a TAC C-130 enrO\ltc fro:n Trovis J..:'J to }ic~(nm AFI3 observed a high altitude, hi~:, s J U~O pas~ dir~ctly overhead on heading 2290. Location of the aircraft was 125W to 128W- 35N, altitude 20,000'. Object was a bright light . (1)' Oce3n station November sighted the same ject and reported that it lit up the whole sky as it (2) Investigation revealed that it was probably an Atlas missile fired from Vandenburg AFB. The bright li3~t over ocean scation November resulted from a flash i~a from fuel still left in the booster on separation Ti=e of the missile firing ~7as 1243Z. This was 13 minutes la:2r than the sighting reported by the aircraft. How- eve~, the aircrew was not exactly sure of the cima. There- fore, I believe the sighting and the missile flight were in fact one and the same. d. On 5 August, at 1311Z, several aircraft at 28-33N/ 145 , reported a rocket firing from the surface of the . ocean. The object climbed ~apidly and flew into the clo~ds on heading L~S One aircraft al3o reported a group of five ship3 t>lithin the area of the launch. the sighting in that area A query to CINCPACFLT OPS PLOT revealed that was probably a navy operation being conduct.ed at that time. e. Also on 5 August at OSOOZ, a teenager reported a bright light in the sky. Since no other details were available, and no other reports made, tha sighting was ruled non-significant and no investigation was made. . 2.
