Bright green UFO near Hawaii

Summary

A sighting of a bright green object was reported near the Hawaiian Islands in 1960. A pilot observed a glowing object descending like a flare, following an arched trajectory. Although initially considered a UFO, investigators concluded it was likely a meteorite. The report lacked photos or radar data, but noted the object appeared to hit the ocean. Such events, while unusual, are common in certain areas and seasons.

A similar sighting occurred in 1950, when a green and blue flash was seen by witnesses 120 miles apart. It was evaluated as a large meteor and no threat. These cases illustrate how military analysts examined UFO reports, ruling out conventional explanations and seeking natural causes.
