1. Following is a summary of UFO activity in the Hawai-
ian area, 2 August to 5 August 1965. Five UFO's were re-
ported. One of them (part b) received widespread head-
lines in Hawaii Fesuleing in increased reporting and pub-

icity regarding UFO's.

a. On 3 August, 0600Z (3/2000 local) a family living
in Waikiki beach reported bright lights moving across the
sky at high altitudes and on various headings. The 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 nothing except some bright stars. Since
mo one else reported the lights, even though they reportedly
were flying over a heavily populated area, I consider the
report to be non-significant.

b. On 4 August, 06442 (3/2044 local) numerous sigh
ings were made of an object which fell from the sky soaks
west of Oahu. The reports differed on the colors but all
agreed that it was a very bright light. Two pilots who
were flying at 31,000 on the 2089 radial 180 NM cut of
Honolulu VORTAC said it was bright enough to illuminate
the cockpit as it fell to the north of them. Both pilots
believed that it burned out before hitting the water.
Observers from the Pacific missile range said it appeared
to them to look like a re-entry vehicle. The two pilots
said it finally broke into three pieces before it burned
out. Our investigation revealed that it could not have
been trom U.S. space operations - “ane it is unlikely that
it was Russian. Tentative analysis is that it was a meteor
or less likely, a decaying space vehicle, which fell approx-
imately 100 to 150 NM southwest of Oahu at pos
1930N/159-30W.

c. On 4 August at 1230Z (approximately) the crew of a
TAC C-130 enroute from Travis AFB to Hickam AFB observed
a high altitude, high speed UFO pass directly overhead on
heading 2290, Location of the aircraft was 125W to 123W-
35N, alticude 20,000". Object was a bright Light.

(1) Ocean station November sighted the same ob-
ject and reported that it Lit up the whole sky as it passed
overhead.

(2) Investigation revealed that it was probably
an Atlas missile fired from Vandenburg AFB. The bright
lignt over ocean station November resulted from a flash
fire from fuel still left in the booster on separation.
Time of the missile firing was 1243Z. This was 13 minutes
later than the sighting reported by the aircraft. How-
ever, the aircrew was not exactly sure of the time. There-
fore, I believe the sighting and the missile flight were
in tact one and the same.

d. On 5 August, at 1311Z, several aircraft at 28-33N/
145W, reported a rocket firing from the surface of the
ocean. The object climbed xrapidly and flew into the
clouds on heading 0499. One aircraft also reported a
group of five ships within the area of the launch.

(1) A query to CINCPACFLT OPS PLOT revealed that
the sighting was probably a navy operation being conducted
in that area at that time.

‘acetal e. Also on 5 August at 0500Z, a teenager reported a
bright light in the sky. Since no other details were
available, and no other reports made, the sighting was
ruled non-significant and no investigation was made.
