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 resulting in increased reporting and pub-
licity regarding UFO's.
a. On 3 August, 0600z (3/2000 local) a family living
in Waikiki beach reported bright Iights moving across the
sky at high n altitudes and on various headings. The lights
appeared change colors from red to blue. I 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 nc -stars. Since
Honolulu VoRTAc said it was bright enough to illuminate
the cockpit as it fell to the north o 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. 1 The two pilots
said it finally broke into three pieces before it burned
been fro 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 position
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 229o. Location of the aircraft was 125w to l2sw-
35N, altitude 20,000'. ( Object was a bright 1 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
light over ocean station November resulted from a flash
fire from fuel still left in the booster on separation.
Time of the missile firing was l243z. This was 13 minutes
later than the sighting reported by the aircraft. How-
ever, t the aircrew was not exactly sure of the time. There-
fore, I believe the sighting and the missile flight were
in fact one and the same. in fact one and the same.
d. d. On 5 August, at 13llz, several aircraft at 28-33N/ 13llz, several aircraft at : 28-33N/
145W, reported a rocket firing from the surface of the firing from the surface of the
.ocean. The object climbed rapidly and flew into the The object climbed rapidly and flew into the
clouds on heading C490. One aircraft also reported a
group of : five ships within the area of the launch.
(1) A query to CINCPACFLT OPS PLOT I revealed that
the sighting was probably operatie being conducted
in that area at that time.
e. Also on 5 August at 0500z, a teenager reported a
bright light in the sky. s Since no other details were
available, and no other reports mad ade, the sighting was
ruled non-significant and no investigation was made.
