Hawaii UFO Sightings in 1993

Full Report Text:

Hello Mr. Davenport, I'm about to share something with you that happened quite a while ago but yet I have never reported this story with any official source. I am from the west side of the mountains, north of Seattle.

I am a 52 year old male. I attended Wenatchee Valley College and then attended Eastern Univ. in Cheney, WA.

My major was Audiology and that's my occupation currently. It was 1992 when I started at Eastern and I put a year in when that horrible winter of 1992-1993 took place. At that point I decided for a change due to the record breaking winter conditions, and since I always wanted to live in Hawaii after spending time there in the Navy, I sold my truck and RV and moved to Kauai.

I attended the two year school in Lihue working towards my degree and while there I befriended a gentleman who taught at the college. As he learned of my living status he offered me to look after his aunt's house who was hospitalized with a stroke. I ended up spending a year in Kauai and moved back to Spokane to finish up at Eastern.

But before I left the “Garden Island” the year I spent there was the most fascinating year of my lif! e. And not solely because of what I'm about to share with you, but also just from the people and the Hawaiian way. It was October 17, 1993, about 2 months after I arrived to Kauai, which my friend the math teacher and I were returning to his aunt's house where I was staying.

I still remember the time; it was about 6:00 pm and a beautiful Sunday evening. We were sitting in the driveway chatting before I was getting ready to go inside the house. As I was talking to my friend the math teacher, who was to my left in his driver's seat, I noticed in the corner of my eye something strange.

As I turned my head to the right looking outside my passenger window I saw a light ball traveling fast above me through the clouds. It looked artificial maybe 6 feet in diameter traveling very straight and whizzed right over us at a good clip. It looked to be about 500 to 600 feet up coming at us at about 2 o'clock.

I only got a short glance at it this time, but I noticed it certainly was not a meteor because I could tell that it was artificial traveling at a rather at low altitude very straight. There w! as no burning tail and it was close enough for me to get a very good look at it. So then I turned to my math teacher friend and said “I just saw something very funny looking.

” So as we continued talking about, it then it appeared again about a minute later and having rolled my passenger window down this time I stuck my head out and saw it very clearly. Again, it came at us at about 2 o'clock but this time I saw it turn a 45 degree turn then another 45 degree turn and took off at 10 o'clock right over the town of Lihue. It was still daylight and even though it was simply a light ball traveling through the sky, it looked very very strange to see such a thing especially in broad daylight.

It made no noise and when it turned those 45 degree turns it didn't slow down at all and turned on a dime. It looked like a big round lighted glass ball being remotely controlled at about 500 feet up. Then we then got out of the car and my math teacher friend, who is a rather small sta! tured Japanese Hawaiian man, started joking and asking me if I! had bee n drinking.

He did not see this thing at all because he had a big bush along the driveway on his side of the car which blocked his view. So at that point I went into the house and my math teacher friend took off for home. When I got into the house I realized what I just saw was not anything we have.

It had no wings, it was just a lighted glass ball traveling rather fast through the Hawaiian sky at about 500 feet up, and turned twice on a dime like something I’ve never seen before. Again, when I saw it coming at us from 2 o'clock it then turned 45 degrees from 3 o’clock and then straight to 9 o’clock then turned another 45 degree turn and took off at 10 o'clock, and of course the times are a reference of direction. So now I'm in the house thinking wow! What do I do now? S o I called the local am radio station in Lihue which was only about 5 blocks from the house.

A Hawaiian lady answered and I asked her if she had received any UFO reports. She asked me if I was into “astrology” joking a bit, and I said no but that I just saw something very strange. I asked her if I could come down to the radio station and if she could come outside to meet me so if both of us saw it together she could repo! rt it as a witness.

So I took off on my motorcycle and the lady came out with eyes as big as saucers herself. We then stood together looking up at the sky and at that point I felt rather silly and we saw nothing. So after saying thank you very much, I took my motorcycle and went back to the house.

At this time it had gotten dark and I parked my bike along-side the house on the lawn. I got off the bike and looked up at the beautiful starry night Hawaiian sky and said these exact words, "Well whatever it was I guess I'm not seeing it again." Then right at that point came the second strange part of this event, as soon as I said those words "Well whatever it was I guess I'm not seeing it again", I noticed to my right at about 3 o'clock something moving very slowly coming right at my direction.

But this time it was something totally different from that of my first sighting, there was no light and it was coming towards me very slowly. It was again an estimated 5 to 6 hundred feet up, about the same altitude as the first object I saw, and I could tell it was going to come right over my head. Again, this time there was no light and I watched it get slowly closer and closer.

Then, it got right over my head as I was looking straight up at it and got a ve! ry good look. When I focused in on it I got the strangest feeling inside of me that this thing wasn't “bad” but that it wasn't “good” either. It never stopped moving but it was moving very slowly and when it got right over my head I could see the bottom of it from the Lihue city lights reflecting off of it.

It looked like a bottom of a frying pan with its re-entry burns on its bottom, a disk approximately 40 to 50 feet in diameter at about 500 feet up. If you held a quarter over your head at arm’s length, that's about how big it looked to me from my vantage point. And then this part was really weird, when it got right over my head I could see around it's perimeter an orange energy field, like an aura around its perimeter.

Then again, with no lights it slowly went right over Lihue into the mist and that was it. I was agape and I couldn't believe what I just saw. I was tempted to chase after it with my bike but I decided not to because I was kind of freaked out.

The next day I went to the Garden Island newspaper and after checking and asking all sorts of people I found no one who saw either the first lighted device or the later disk. Till this day I have found no one who saw it and I still wonder what it actually was, either an alien or military devices. Kauai does have a known top secrete missile base but I myself believe it was a space craft.

My theory is the first light ball was a remotely controlled device that either was mapping the island or recording some other type of information, and the disk I saw afterwards was the mother craft. But I guess I'll never know because I haven't seen either since. So that's my personal UFO story and Mr.

Davenport you're the first official UFO expert I have told this too. It was a remarkable experience and it changed my thinking from UFOs being make believe stuff to something as real as we are. Has it changed my life all that much? Not really but I sure get strange reactions when I tell the story to folks.

If you would ever like for me to elaborate with the details a little more, and if anyone else you'd like me to share this with I'd be more than happy too. Thank you, ((name deleted)).

Maui, August 1993, incredibly fast & quiet lighted craft moves across the sky, news reports confirm sighting with no explanation. My wife and I were walking near the ocean when we noticed a lighted object appear on the horizon, move very quickly overhead and disappear on the opposite horizon. If it was a large object far away, then it was moving unbelievably fast.

On the other hand, if it was smaller and closer, then it was unbelievably quiet. A man and a woman were walking near us on the path and we all asked each other if we had really seen what we thought we had. We confirmed the details mentioned above and discussed their implications based on the laws of physics.

The other man was the ((deleted)) coach of ((deleted)). I hold a degree from the University of Michigan with a major in ((deleted)) science. We're not crazy, and we knew that what we had just seen was not normal.

The next two days the sighting was reported in the local newspaper with no explanation. Perhaps it was a satellite which had fallen from its orbit and was about to crash into the ocean, but I don't think so because it had pale green-yellow lights. A small private jet? No, it was too fast and too quiet.

Have you heard other reports of this incident? ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate. PD)).

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.

During a Hawaiian Huna training on the Big Island of Hawaii, myself and about 12 others in our group witnessed a formation of UFOs that lasted at least 1 hour and 15 minutes. During a shamanic training on the Big Island, our group went to what is considered to be a "sacred warm pond" for what our group leader referred to as an spiritual initiation. During this "initiation", all of us were bathing in the warm pond, pretty deep in the Hawaiian woods.

I think it was near Hilo, but I'm not sure because we visited many different sites considered sacred to the Hawaiians. Some of these sites are called Heiaus, or ancient Hawaiian temples. Others in our group probably could give a better description of the events, as I was personally immersed in a process known as rebirthing with the instructor/shaman for what I estimate to be approximately an hour based on what another in our group said, which was prior to this sighting which I witnessed personally for only about 15 minutes.

(Rebirthing is a breathing technique considered to be a "Western version of Eastern Yogic Pranayam.") Anyway, this rebirthing was done with my eyes closed, and so it was not until I came out of this process that I saw what the others in my group said they were watching for at least an hour. I looked up into the sky towards the horizon above a mountain and noticed the stars blinking on and off.

I asked what was happening in the sky, or if I was seeing things, and the others laughed at me, saying they had been watching these UFOs for the past hour while I was undergoing this rebirthing process. I saw, over a mountain, a formation of several, I'd saw anywhere between 1 and 7 at any one time, lights that looked like stars. They sometimes blinked on, and sometimes off.

They sometimes changed colors (blue, red, white, green), and they moved into various formations including a triangle and a square, and sometimes just blended into the sky to appeared to be star constellations (with the exception that the "stars" would turn on and off and occasionally move to different positions). The instructor of the group, whom some consider to be a kahuna (Hawaiian term for "Keeper of the Secret"), told us that the government was working with Grays in that area in that mountain, and that that was a known base. They told me they knew where that base was (inside the mountain), but it was not wise to go and visit it.

I don't know if any of that is true, but I just want to give you some background. Perhaps it seems nuts. That's fine.

But, I saw what I saw, just as I described. It was the only encounter I ever had with anything like that, other than seeing a mysterious green light over the ocean at night in Hawaii that seemed to just move across the water and back. From what I understand, many people have seen this and call it the "green flash.

" Anyway, I was kind of in an high state of mind after this breathing process, and when I saw them everybody laughed at me. One person laughed, "Peter's baaaack!" I pointed up at these "stars" and said, "The stars are disappearing!" The others just laughed and one of them said, "No kidding. We've been watching them for about an hour!" I thought it was amusing how they (the UFOs) seemed to be putting on a show for us and I remember exclaiming, "They're playing with us!" Anyway, they disappeared from the sky, just blinked out a few minutes later, and that was it.

I have to add that our group used no psychotropics as it might seem by such a sighting. At no time did any of us. We followed a strict vegetarian (organic) diet, mostly fresh fruit and nuts for the during of the training which lasted several weeks.

We were all of very clear mind and were not delusional by any means. What this was, I don't pretend to know. But, I am sure they were not meteorites, nor swamp gas, nor aiplanes, nor helicopters nor anything man made, due to the precision with which they moved, and how swiftly they moved into such precise patterns.

At times, many of the real stars in the sky seemed to just disappear, like they just got blacked out, and then brought back, and there was no cloud cover whatsoever. It was the clearest night you could imagine. The whole experience was extremely strange to me, but our group just sort of "went with the flow" and I don't remember much talk about it afterwards.

So, that's what I saw. Probably old news being that it was in 1993, but I figured I'd share it just in case others on the island, or elsewhere witnessed anything similar. If you find that there has been anything similar from others, I'd appreciate a call.

I'll call you back on my dime. Thanks, and keep up the great reporting. By the way, I bet that warm pond is the best place to experience ongoing sightings if you just ask a Hawaiian elder to direct you to it.

UFO and lights appear in sky in Maui Hawaii in 93' My girlfriend and I were sitting on the beach in Kihei Maui Hawaii and she pointed out a strange amber light over one of the other islands. We watched it blink and shimmer for about 10 minutes or so and then it started to move to the south part of the island only it stopped in the middle. About 45 minutes went by and then it seemed to start getting bigger and brighter.

It was about a mile away and her and I saw what appeared to be green, yellow, blue, red and orange lights oscilating around the object. Almost orbiting the craft in a way. Then it moved between the west maui mountains and haleakala (volcano) and we ran down to the waters edge and saw bright orange engines glowing.

We heard this pulsating sound though it was very faint. We started to question it to ourselves, so we needed to see if anbody else had seen it so we called the local law enforcement and filed a report. No one had seen it that night.

maybe! There were no articles in the newspaper that day of the prior night. Til this day I still question what I saw that night, but it was definately something I had never seen or heard before. Thank you.

((initials deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. We have amended it, based on follow-up communication. PD)) ((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION)) Peter, I think I had a brain failure.

It was 06/93 not 6/03 because unless I can travel into the future (lol lol lol). The time we looked at this object was 1 ½ hours or so. It was pretty close to us.

If you put the moon behind it you would not be able to see the moon. It was dark and the object was about a ½ a mile away down the beach. This was the only time that we got a good look at it.

When it was far away it looked just like any normal star in the sky except is was amber in color. Any more questions just call me.not collect thanks ((name deleted)) ((END MESSAGE)) ((FOLLOW-UP MESSAGE #2)) Am I correct in understanding that the object appeared to be dramatically different sizes at different times during the sighting? Thanks, again! Peter Davenport ((RESPONSE)) yeah! It was smaller furthur away (the other island was about 6 or 7 miles away ) and became bigger as it flew about a ½ mile away from our point on the beach.

((END)).
