Date & Time of Sighting: October 10, 2014 - 8:10pm
Location: Kealakekua Bay (Hawaii Island)

October 10, 2014 at about 8:10pm. Location Kealakekua Bay on the big island of Hawaii. From our home on Napoopoo Road about a half a mile from the Bay, at an elevation of 265 feet. We saw a very bright white light to the west in the sky beyond the Bay. The light was far brighter then any normal star or planet. At first I thought it might be the landing lights of a jet airliner. But, it was silent and completely stationary. We watched it for about ten minuets. It did not move. There were low clouds that night, slowly moving. After about ten minuets the nearby low clouds began moving behind and in front of the object, partially obscuring the light. This let us get a good sense of the object's location. It was located about two miles offshore to the west and at an elevation of about 1500 to 2000 feet, just a bit higher than the nearby cliff. The object disappeared behind the low clouds for about 15 minuets, and I thought we would not see it again. Then the clouds moved away, and the object was still there in the same location. We watched it for another ten minuets. I looked at it through some binoculars and the light was very bright and had a dazzling, sparkling quality. After about ten minuets of observation, the object began moving slowly north, and we lost sight of it behind the Kealakekua pali. From initial sighting to final sighting, the object had remained in one spot for about 30 minuets, silent, unmoving, and emitting a very bright white light.
