Appearance / Description of Object(s)

the object was about 100 feet long and it appeared to be connected some how , it was cigar shaped, because of the illumination of the object , solid lines could not be distinquished. However three elogated lights were sighted and all three moved in unison, which caused me to suspect that they were how connected.

Size of Object(s)

estimated size was about 100 ft long, as for width I cannot speculate because of the illumination given off by the object. my hands could not cover the object from where I was standing so I cannot give you a relative distance, the size is my very best possible guess .

Description of Area / Surroundings

A military air base, specifically Kaneohe Marine Corps Airbase, located in Kaneohe Hawaii.

Full Description & Details

On the above mentioned date, with the exception of the day which I cannot remember at this time. I was preparing for bed, the time was approximately 22:00 hrs or shortly afterward, because thelights had just been turned off, some of the guys were still playing cards using there personal lights, it was hot and there were no airconditioners in our building, one of the guys climbed out on one of the window ledges, we were housed on the third floor. The marine that climbed out on the ledge starting yelling we thought that he lost his footing and ran to help, when we reached the window he pointed to the sky to his right.

Where I was standing I could not initially see the object fully at time, so I ran along with the others to the back fire exit door and as we opened the door & looked up there was this object , for some reason it looked like the industrial tube light bulbs that are used mostly inschools and warehouses. At first it was just sitting there not moving, the object remained statiionary approximately 2 minutes and then began to drift slowly toward our right field of view at which time, we began to hear fighter jets taking off with after burners, which is a very unmistakeable sight and sound to anyone who lives on or near an airbase especially at night. My barracks was approximately 1/2 mile from the airstrip when the F4's came into our field of view, it was apparent they were banking toward our position, the object at this time came to a stand still, if you blinked you would have missed it's departure. The F4's circled the base twice and landed. we decided to watch the news at 2300 hrs., to see if anyone else saw anything and reported it . There was only a brief mention of the lights seen over the base as a training missile that misfired , prior to the sighting there was not any flights that night , we would not only have heard them but we would have seen the flights taking off. There was one other person that witnessed the sighting (name unknown), our barracks was side by side with another barracks with a cement walkway seperating the two, there was a small beer and snack garden located at thehead of both barracks which could be seen from the before mentioned emergency exit door where the object was viewed. the unknown witness told us that before tube like object appeared, he saw a green ball of light size and distance unknown briefly hover in the approximate same area of sky and quickly speed away only to be replaced by the tube like object that I have reported. To best of my knowledge this what I saw, I am only regretful that at the time I did not collect important data such more approximate size and distance and record names of the people who where there with me. But as far as I am concerned I saw something that night, and I cannot explain or understand what it was.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I have tried over the years to compare this sighting to any of the military aircraft of that time and the aircraft of the prsent day. I've also attempted to find any natural atmospheric conditions that could have caused what I saw, I have found none to date. As for the explanation given by the military, I do not if a malfuctioned training misslie would give off that kind of light display.

Witness Background

I am currently in charge of all security operations at a pharmeceutical plant which houses and manufactures a class 5 narcotic that is DEA monitored. at the time of the sighting I was enrolled in the USMC as a combat radio operator, I was trained to take note of what I saw of heard , this training has been of great importance in the field of my security career.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before the sighting I found that the UFO's where fun and interesting to read about but did not believe they existed no hard evidence. After what I saw I be- lieve there is something going in the skies of this planet and we need to find out what that something is.

Other Comments

I have never seen anything in the sky like I saw that night since this occurence.
