The Haleakala Photometer Object (1966)
Around midnight on 11–12 February 1966 an airglow photometer scanning the sky from Haleakala on Maui recorded two bright pulses that matched no star or planet, perhaps one object crossing some 700 kilometres in a quarter of an hour before it vanished into the Earth's shadow. The Condon Report found no missile launch to account for it and filed it as unidentified. This is the record of what an instrument recorded, not a verdict on what crossed the sky.
◆ THE SHORT VERSION
- The Haleakala Photometer Object (1966) is a reported UAP case in Haleakala Observatory, summit of Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii, USA, Night of 11-12 February 1966, 23:50 and 00:05 HST.
- An airglow photometer on Haleakala recorded two bright pulses on the night of 11–12 February 1966 that matched no star or planet.
- If the pulses were one object, the Condon Report reckoned it travelled a nominal 734 kilometres in fifteen minutes before vanishing, perhaps into the Earth's shadow.
- No missile launch from Vandenberg or Point Mugu fitted the time, and Wright-Patterson suggested a satellite on which information was not readily available.
- Condon filed the object as unidentified; no person saw it, only the instrument.
