All Hawaii was talking about it. Even the newspapers ... they mentioned it.

A witness aged 51, a small business owner (sales and marketing department) reports:

We were sitting on the beach by a campfire because friends and I were having birthdays together when I saw these lights heading towards Maui from the direction of Oahu. I thought they were heading to the airport here in Maui, but these bright lights slowly turned and headed along the beach Kihei .

They were shaped like an octagonal object, but resembled a long tube.

 About 2/3 of the length ... there was a gap in the object, and then there was a second (same 8-sided tube) next to it ... it didn't look connected, but it could have been - and when it passed.

I saw a lot of flashing lights flying around the end of the object. There were annual August meteor showers, and they could be seen over this object. 

It seemed translucent ... that means we could see through it, but there were lights in it along with the hex shape ... as outlined. But I thought I could see the stars through the long figure… It was outlined by a bright neon light, but you could see through it.

It was huge and we were all very alert and I was scared. I'm not easily frightened.

It flew slowly in front of us - then turned left and flew over the top of Haleakala... and then we heard later (from other people here on Maui) from the other side, and then disappeared. The whole state buzzed with it for a few days, then silence ... except that we're together. We call it a "Look."

I had good friends who built a fire right on the mountain, and they saw the same thing.

I am a sales representative between the islands, and a few days later ... flying to Kauai, I met someone on the plane who said they saw the same thing on Kauai as many others there.

At the launch of the supercomputer site (partly military) a few weeks later-I asked a representative of the company large Telescope-why they don't recognize that what we all saw here in Hawaii ... there was a UFO-after two short distracting answers to my repeated questions ... he finally said ... because the public couldn't accept the news.

The second observation of my life - many years ago - on the other side of Maui-in Kanayo, I was in a hot tub, put my head on the ledge of the tub - and saw three lights flying over the edge of Haleakala Crater Lake. They were blue lights. 

I watched them as they flew overhead ... a few minutes, and then they suddenly turned RED and moved forward very quickly, and then disappeared.

Original news

We were sitting on the beach with a fire, for mine and pals shared birthdays when I saw these lights headed towards Maui from the direction of Oahu. I thought they were headed towards the airport here on Maui, but these bright lights turned and headed along the Kihei beach, slowly.

It was shaped like an eight-sided object —but long tube-like. About 2/3rds along the length… there was a break in the object, and then there was a second (same 8 sided shape tube) closely behind it..didn’t look connected, but it could have been–and as it passed I saw many darting lights flying around the end of the object. There were the annual August meteor showers, and you could see them above this object. It seemed to be translucent..meaning we could see through it, but it had lights all along with the six-sided shape..outlined like. But I thought I could see stars through the long shape…It was like it was outlined in bright neon light, but you could see through it.

It was huge, and we all got really alert, and I was scared. I don’t scare easily.

It flew slowly in front of us–then turned left, and flew over the top of Haleakala…and then we heard later (from other people here on Maui) down the other side and then gone. The whole state was abuzz with this for a few days, then silence…except for those that we’re together. We call it “The Sighting”.

I had good friends having a bonfire directly up the mountain from where we were, and they saw the exact same thing.

I am an inter-Island sales rep–and a few days later..flying to Kauai, I met someone on the plane who said that they had seen the same thing on Kauai, and so did many others there.

At the opening of the Super Computer site (partial military) open house a few weeks later–I asked a representative from the LArge Telescope company–why they don’t admit that what we all saw here in Hawaii..was a UFO–after two short diverting answers to my repetitive questioning..he finally said..because the public couldn’t handle the news.

The second sighting in my life—-Many years earlier–on the backside of Maui–up in Kanaio, I was in a hot tub and laid my head back on the ledge of the tub–and saw three lights flying over the rim of the Haleakala Crater. They were blue lights. I watched them, as they traveled just over head…for a few minutes.then they all of a sudden turned RED and moved very very quickly forward, and then disappeared.
