Strange plane or? Moving extremely fast then shot out something from behind it and completely vanished !! Was driving up country from the Kahului airport in Maui when I looked out the window and saw what looked to be an airplane, but it was moving really fast. I began to point it out to the others in the car when it shot out some exhaust or something and then just disappeared!! Not into clouds or anything , but literally it looked like in star trek when they go into warp speed and disappear!! Wondering if anyone else saw this?

I hope u dont think i crazy because in dat case my whole neighborhood is!!!! But it was above my neighbors house just hoovering about 100 ft up.It was a round disc that was about 25 ft wide that had all different color lights around it, but what was funny is that it beamed a light upwards.For about 15 mins everyone was trying to take a pix and no ones camera worked.
Some people thought it was the end of the world and started praying. All of a sudden at about 2000 mphs it zoomed away. Before it zoomed away the clouds swirled around the ufo in this weird way.
That part freaked me out. Its true n like I said me n my whole neighbor hood couldn't have been trippin.we all saw the same thing!!.

6 arclight orbs that seemed to be under intelligent control fly-by @ 5000 ft. six very bright lime green orbs similar to a tig arc very steady unlike a regular fluctuating arc welding light . these spherical objects in echelon formation moved southbound aprox 5,500 ft asl.
first saw them over the west maui mountains (5.400 peak) estimate speed aprox. 800mph+.
at mid valley 2 of them initiated a right 90 degree heading 270 turn towards kahoolawe island and eventually vanished. the other 4 continued straight ahead due south over the western slope of mt. Haleakala maintaining altitude towards the big island until out of sight.
they left a short faint trail of same color light, just a whisp. they made no sound , very steady flight paths, called maui tower and police but they said nothing on radar or police reports. their lights were very bright like I said like tig arc lights I was surprised that the papers or news didn't carry the story? it was truly a light show.
no one has their cell phone or cameras with them. would have taken me to long to get my camera so we just enjoyed the sight. they were not piston or jet aircraft no sound (neighborhood was very quiet) and to slow for gliders.
I used the known mountain heights for reference and for speed estimate. this was not the first time we've ween them. heard you on coast to coast tonite hence this report.
I have been a pilot since 1977 and always have been a aircraft enthusiast since my childhood. this is why my speed and altitude estimates are very close. I refrained from reporting to FAA.
my mother in-law who is a Jehovah witness had nothing to say. I'm a Buddhist. we were not drinking alcohol.
wondering if you've had similar reports from maui like mine??? I now wonder if there is a god? Aloha.

3 reddish ovals in early morning over maui. This sighting happened at aproximately 4:00 A.M.
on the morning of November 10th, 2010. It happened in the skies above Kahului, Maui, Hawaii. I had just left my job and was waiting for the first bus to catch to my home.
I was lying in the grass adjacent to the Queen Ka'ahumanu shopping center parking lot, which also serves as the bus station hub, awaiting the first buses arrival. I was just admiring the stars. I had seen two shooting stars earlier in the evening so when this event took place my first thought was, " how odd to see THREE shooting stars at once and all heading in the same direction, parallel to one another.
" I quickly realized that was not what I was seeing however when the three reddish/orange lights veered from my view to the right at the same time. My second thought was perhaps they were three birds, as I could not easily discern the size and distance of the objects against the starry black sky. I thought this because they were completely silent as they flew.
I readily dismissed this theory however as the had no wing "flapping" movement that I would easily have detected were they birds. The three objects moved swiftly across the sky and were lost to my sight as the flew to the right of where I was lying on the ground and I lost track of them as they flew toward the well lit city lights. It did not appear that these objects were lights from a single object as I remember detecting the night sky between them as they quickly passed directly overhead.
I have never before seen Unidentified Flying Objects and seeing this really got my skin tingling. I have no idea what I saw.but whatever it or they were, was out of the ordinary.
Perhaps they have something to do with the military/observatory being built atop Haleakala Crater. I would be very interested in knowing if any others saw this phenomena. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright Star or Planet when magnified turns out to be metallic saucer shaped object. Approx. Dec.
1st 2001 a heavily advertised meteor shower was to happen with its greatest show at approx. 02:00am from the east. I stayed up for event and it was indeed a spectacle.
As I viewed the show I noticed to the NorthEast a stationary extremely bright star or planet. It was so bright that I wondered what planet it could be this time or year. I braced myself against the corner of my house and took a picture of it with my digital camera with a telephoto lens at the maximum.
When I viewed the image, it didn't really present change differently from the way I viewed it with the naked eye. So, I decided to download to my computer and then digitally magnify it. As I magnified it, it started taking on a shape up 200X before it became distorted.
It definitely was metallic and was saucer shape. It appears that a light is on top but may be a reflection of the sun. I thought maybe this could be a satellite but it remained stationary and didn't move for approx.
2 hours. I, like most people didn't report it because of the possible stigmas attached to the person reporting such things. I feel though that it is an important picture for those concerned.
((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. We suspect that the date may be November 18, the date of the the Leonid meteor shower.
