Haleiwa, Oahu, HawaiiMay 1963

Insufficient Data

Summary

On May 24, 1963, a sighting was reported near Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii. The witness was Sergeant Floyd Foster, a military observer. The report was sent as a CIRVIS message and recorded in Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports.

The report described one object at a very high altitude. It moved on a zig-zag course toward the west and left a bluish vapor trail. The observer's position was about 21 degrees 40 minutes North, 158 degrees 5 minutes West. The time was logged near 0600Z on May 25.

The report did not include the duration, how the object disappeared, or other key details. The card noted that it could possibly have been a missile leaving a trail. Because so much information was missing, the Air Force reached no conclusion and classed the case as insufficient data.
