On December 29, 2020, an unidentified flying object appeared over the island of Oahu, Hawaii, USA. This incident has aroused widespread public concern. It is reported that a luminous blue rectangular object finally landed slowly in the ocean. This seemed to be a fairly gentle landing-there was no fire, no explosions, and even no huge splashes of sea water. Everything was as calm as usual, only unknown objects floating on the water with glowing lights. On December 31, the local television station "Hawaiian News" reported on the incident.
Unsurprisingly, this news clip immediately gained a high popularity as soon as it was broadcast, and a wave of crazy reposts was set off on the Internet. Many media began to pay attention to and report on the event to get page views. Numerous UFO enthusiasts on some video sites such as YouTube also talked about it, saying that this is the reality of the existence of aliens and their spaceship. evidence. When Andy Signore, the head of the YouTube channel "Popcorn Planet," commented on the video, he claimed that the UFO sighted appeared to be real. Tunisia's Hannibal TV even shared the video with the previous U.S. Navy. The published UFO video was contacted.

In fact, the most popular video on the Internet is a combination of two video clips. The first video is Misitina Sape standing in Nakuli, Oahu Taken with a mobile phone at the corner of Haleakala Avenue and Farrington Expressway in Nanakuli. The shooting time was 8:26 pm, and the shooting duration was about 11 seconds, which appeared in the picture The effective duration of the unknown object is 7 seconds, and a small piece of blue light can be seen in the night sky that night. Sape also turned the camera to show people where she was on the street corner, thus confirming her location. In the first video, the camera is facing south and extends along the Farrington Highway towards Black Rock Beach Park. The unknown object in the picture is still, like a balloon, floating gently in the sky.
The second video shows the situation after this luminous object fell into the ocean.It was taken by a woman named Moriah, and it took about 15 seconds. According to reporter Blair, Moriah and her husband have been tracking this unknown object until it is about to fall into the sea. They were in front of the water supply committee building on the Farrington Highway, so they immediately stopped to observe ( Blair 2020). This location was a little more than two miles north of the first video taken by Sape. Moriah's camera was pointing to the southwest, and the distance between the two witnesses was more than two miles. According to the "Hawaiian News", the local police contacted after receiving the alarm call. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Blair speculated that a plane might crash in the area on Tuesday night, but in fact none of the planes disappeared from the radar, and there were no planes. Overdue or missing related reports. Suspected explorer Kenny immediately contacted the Honolulu Police Department and asked if there was any other reliable information. Ms. Yu Lihua, the Media Liaison Office of the Police Department, said that there was no further information about the sighting. So Kenny began to turn his attention to the video itself. Since the video was taken by the photographer with a mobile phone, the resolution of the first video was not high, and even the road signs near the witnesses were blurred. When the video is zoomed in and focused on an unknown object in the night sky, the situation becomes even worse, and due to the continuous shaking during the video shooting, blue pixel stripes appear in the video. The resolution of the second video is also low. Unidentified objects seem to have just surfaced, like the mast of a ship, shaking gently with the waves. In short, apart from an unidentified object in the shape of a glowing "worm", the second video did not provide more useful information. But after watching the two videos carefully, the only certainty is that the object is almost still.
Moriah claimed that the object was about the size of a telephone pole (Blair 2020) and was about 34 to 40 feet long. However, the main color of the shooting background of these two videos is black—the first one is the night sky.The second section is the dark sea at night. Because the shooting background is not clear, and the object in the video is not yet known, people cannot determine the exact size and distance of the object.
For this unknown object's guess, Kenny's first guess was paraglider . According to the description of Wikipedia, paragliding is a flying sport that combines entertainment and competitive adventure. The tool used is a light paraglider aircraft. The wing is usually a curved rectangular shape with a span of 26 to 39 feet. Without a rigid frame structure, it allows athletes to fly freely in the air ( Wikipedia 2021). As shown in the figure below, the shape of the paraglider roughly matches what is seen in the video and the description of witnesses, and its wings can also emit bright light.

To prove this conjecture, Kenny immediately contacted Raimar Bylaardt, a professional paraglider instructor, who is the main person in charge of paragliding in Hawaii. Rema said that in accordance with the relevant regulations of the FAA, paragliding is not allowed to take place after sunset. In addition, paraglider flights in the Nanakuli area rely on solar energy to generate rising hot air. Therefore, paraglider flights are usually carried out in calm weather, but this kind of weather is relatively rare in Oahu . A series of reports show that the UFO has entered the ocean. If this is the case, then it may be a paraglider with a motor that can provide its own power, but if there is a motor, people are likely to hear it In this case, paragliders will also avoid landing on the water-because heavy motors, ropes, etc. may endanger the life of the pilot. Considering the above points, Rima said that the UFO is unlikely to be a paraglider, and more likely to be a balloon or several luminous balloons strung together. In recent years, LED-illuminated balloons have become the best choice for holiday dressing. They can not only decorate and embellish the environment, but also enhance the atmosphere, and the cost is low. Therefore, balloons are more and more popular in birthday parties, weddings and other special occasions. It has become more and more popular with the public.Therefore, Rima speculates that the UFO may be a few light-emitting balloons tied together. After floating over Oahu, several of them burst due to the expansion of the helium inside, resulting in the remaining The weight of the balloon became lighter, and the ascending force was no longer able to withstand the pulling of the ribbon entwined below, and finally it slowly sank and landed in the ocean.

Inspired by Rema, Kenny immediately went to Metabunk.org to collect information related to UFOs. The members of the site agreed that the UFO may be a piece of equipment. Kite with LED lights. One of the website operators, Mick West, provided several videos showing tethered kites and radio-controlled kites, but the aerial movement of the kites is not the same as the content seen in the UFO videos taken. It matches, and the RC kite also has a very obvious motor sound, so the RC kite is unlikely to be the UFO in the photo. In addition, West also provided a lot of videos of large kites. These kites are in a classic triangular shape with LED lights at the bottom to illuminate the pattern on the bottom of the kite. If this conjecture is true, the UFO in the video fell into the ocean, either because the controller of the kite lost control for a while, or the kite fell apart, causing it to plunge into the water.

Subsequently, Kenny contacted Blair, the reporter who initially reported on the UFO, in order to get more reliable information, but unfortunately she did not receive any additional information. Therefore, the mystery of the "UFO" that appeared in Hawaii this time has not been completely solved because there is not enough information to draw a reliable conclusion. Kenny said that as skeptical investigators, they are often forced to choose “based on the best possible evidence available” rather than “it must be the case” and so on. For objects of unknown size observed under the night sky, it is often difficult for people to obtain 100% conclusive evidence. Therefore, before there is more evidence to determine the identity of the unknown object, Kenny believes that it is most likely a kite or balloon illuminated by LEDs. As one of the witnesses, Moriah witnessed it land in the sea and said that she had never heard the object make a sound.This information also further supports Kenny's speculation about kites or balloons.
Although the mystery of UFOs has not been completely solved so far, there is no special video evidence to show that this is an alien spacecraft, because people have not found any traces of aliens Or the corpse, there is no debris on the shore. More importantly, if this is really a spacecraft piloted by aliens, they might not turn on the lights with such a high profile and fly over a densely populated island!
