On A Morning

You would say
- They started the trip in the morning on August 8th.
- They started the trip on the morning of August 8th.
- They started the trip on a beautiful morning.

Normally when you talk about the morning of a day, or when you talk about a particular type of morning, you use 'on.'

How about 'a morning'? Would you say something like the following?
[1] On a morning, they saw a weird object flying high in the sky.
[2] Early on a morning, they saw a weird object flying high in the sky.
([3] Early in the morning one day, they saw a weird object flying high in the sky)
[4] Around five on a morning, they saw a weird object flying high in the sky.
([5] Around five in the morning one day, they saw a weird object flying high in the sky)
