UFO
over Hawaii puzzles astronomers
Mysterious streak
captured by camera positioned on active
volcano
02/08/05 - WorldNetDaily
An
unidentified streak moving through the
night sky above Hawaii has sky watchers
puzzled.
The
streak, which can be viewed in motion on
a NASA
website page, was captured on film
by a camera positioned on a volcano in
Haleakala, Hawaii. It moves from
southeast to northwest.
According
to the NASA site, the streak was spotted
on the night of Dec. 17. Another camera
trained on the night sky in Hawaii, in
Mauna Kea, also captured the image.
While the
streak may have been disregarded as a
satellite, NASA says no record of a
satellite in that position exists on a
website that documents bright satellite
events.
NASA
includes an online
discussion board for people to
speculate about what the streak might
have been.
One
poster wrote: "What is truly
bizarre is that this object is visible
for a good 55 minutes at Haleakala and
close to 30 minutes at Mauna Kea.
Usually, satellites take a few dozen
seconds or, at the most, a couple of
minutes to cross the entire sky.
"If
this object is a satellite, it is either
very slow moving or at a very high
altitude. I checked all the
possibilities at Heavens-Above and no
satellite passes seem to fit this
observation. It is also impossible to be
a meteorite."
