Multiple eyewitnesses called 911 after seeing a bright blue object above Oahu on Tuesday around 8:30 p.m., Hawaii News Now reported.

The mysterious object appeared to be a glowing‚ oblong mass in multiple videos captured by onlookers, according to the local news outlet.

A witness only identified as Moriah said she spotted the mysterious object hovering over the Princess Kahanu Estates in the Nanakuli neighborhood.

"I look up and then I was like, 'Oh s—!' " she told the station. "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, 'Yeah!' "

She told the outlet that she and her husband then jumped into the car and followed the object for three miles. She said they last spotted the object, which was described as being larger than a telephone pole, around Farrington Highway when it appeared to fall into the ocean without a sound.

Moriah said she called the police and when police arrived, they saw similar object omitting white light from the sky.

"The white one was smaller. Was coming in the same direction as the blue one," she said.



Another eyewitness, Misitina Sape, told Hawaii News Now that she captured footage of the blue mass near Haleakala Avenue in the Nanakuli neighborhood.

While Moriah said she is unsure what the object could be, UFO enthusiasts online believe the glowing mass bears resemblance to an LED kite.

The FAA did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, though Ian Gregor, a spokesperson for the agency, told Hawaii News Now that there are "no reports of overdue or missing aircraft" in the area.

A Mysterious Blue UFO Was Spotted Over Hawaii — and the Whole Thing Was Caught on Camera

Remember how we had “alien invasion” on our 2020 bingo card? Well, we might just be able to check off that box. On Dec. 29, at roughly 8:30 p.m. local time, eyewitnesses on the Hawaiian island of Oahu spotted an unidentified flying object in the night sky, prompting several 911 calls. As reported by Hawaii News Now, the UFO, which was caught on video, had a glowing blue oblong form, described by one onlooker as “larger than a telephone pole.” It sailed across the sky for several miles before crashing silently into the sea. 

One witness, identified by Hawaii News Now as a woman named Moriah, saw a second UFO — this one with a whitish hue. “The white one was smaller. Was coming in the same direction as the blue one,” Moriah told Hawaii News Now. It disappeared from her sight as it flew over a neighboring town.

Local police reported the UFO sightings to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in the event there was a downed aircraft, but the FAA said that no planes had disappeared from radar in the area, nor were any deemed overdue or missing.

But don’t go putting on your tinfoil hat just yet. These sightings are not likely extraterrestrial in nature, as is the case with most UFOs. In fact, some internet sleuths have already proffered a plausible explanation: The floating blue object bears resemblance to an LED kite, as demonstrated in this video by fact-checking Twitter account UFO of Interest. 

So, as it turns out, 2020 just wasn’t the year for aliens, but who knows what 2021 will bring.
