Mysterious Green Lasers Over Hawaii
China Flashed Mysterious Green Lasers Over Hawaii, NASA Says
But what were they doing?

• A NASA scientist says a Chinese satellite flashed previously unidentified lights over Hawaii last month.
•Japan originally said the lights came from NASA
•The green lights are the latest in a string of mysterious objects in the sky. 

China is most likely behind the mysterious green lights that were seen last month in the skies over Hawaii.
The Chinese pollution-monitoring satellite Daqi-1 probably produced the lights spotted over Hawaii on January 28, according to a NASA scientist. The comments apparently put to rest earlier theories that the lights were coming from a U.S. satellite.
The lights were first seen during a live stream. Footage from the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera, which is situated on the Mauna Kea volcano, showed the line of green light quickly flashing across the sky.
A week after the incident, experts at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), which co-owns the camera, claimed on Twitter that the green light originated from radar on the NASA satellite ICESat-2. But a week later, NAOJ revised its theory, saying that based on the trajectory, it was unlikely the lights were coming from NASA’s satellite after all.
The Daqi-1 was launched in April. The satellite has LIDAR (laser imaging, detection, and ranging) for detecting atmospheric aerosols and carbon dioxide. Daqi-1 also measures nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and fine particle pollution. Lidar uses laser beams for mapping, and it’s believed that these lasers illuminated the sky over Hawaii in January.
