Trail of light emerging from ocean and looping back into the water. Object must have been very large, since sighting was from about a mile away.

On this night there was a full moon out. I had been fishing on the south shore of O'ahu, at a place called "Black Point"-a luxurious residential area. It's only a mile to the east of Diamond Head crater. The sighting was very brief, and I doubted myself for a while, until two black helicopters showed up a few minutes later. Then I figured that I must have seen something real. Initially, I was startled by the helicopters because I did not hear or see them until they were directly in front of me at a distance of about two to three hundred hards. They continued to scan the areas just beyond the fringing reef from Diamond Head to Hanauma bay (a distance of about 10 miles) with strobe type lights pointed at the water. This went on for about 30 minutes. Then they left and so did I.
