Videos show a strange, longish object floating in the air near Haleakala Avenue in Nanakuli on Oahu island. After several 911 calls, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that there weren't any aircraft disappearing off the radar nor were there any reports of missing aircraft in the region, according to *ABC 11*. https://twitter.com/milehigherjosh/status/1345643169644503040 ## Hawaii UF-O "I look up and then I was like oh shit," UFO spotter Moriah [told local news station *Hawaii News Now*](). "I started calling my husband and them because they were all in the garage. I was like hey. Come look up there. See if you see what I see. They all said yea!" "I don’t know what it was," she added. "This one was going so fast." The entire time, the telephone pole-sized object reportedly made no noise — even when it went for a dip in the ocean and disappeared. ## Object Lesson Let's be clear: Just because authorities don't know what a flying object is doesn't mean it's an alien spacecraft. And to be absolutely clear, the odds are overwhelming that this one isn't. But in the era of tightly-regulated airspaces and imaging technologies, it is striking to find any object in the sky that we can't identify — which is why even the former director of the CIA [recently described some UFO videos]() as "eyebrow-raising." **READ MORE:** [Bright blue UFO seen crashing into ocean near Hawaii prompts calls to 911, FAA]() \[*ABC 11*\] **More on UFOs:** *[Former CIA Director Says UFO Videos Are “Quite Eyebrow-Raising”]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
