π Description
Event occurred in late December 2020 off Oahu, Hawaii. Multiple witnesses reported a bright blue, elongated object moving across the night sky near Nanakuli, described as larger than a telephone pole, followed by a smaller white light. After about 3 minutes, the object appeared to drop into the ocean off the western coast of Oahu near Haleakala Avenue and Farrington Highway. Calls were made to 911 and FAA officials confirmed receiving reports of a possible aircraft down, but no radar targets or missing aircraft were found and Honolulu Police had no further information. The incident was covered by several outlets (ABC30 Fresno, ABC7 San Francisco, Hawaii News Now, Live Science, Space.com, Futurism). There is no conclusive identification or official determination; explanations ranged from conventional objects (LED kite, balloon, meteor) to unknown aircraft. No credible updates have emerged since early 2021, so the case remains officially unresolved.
