I lived on Maui from 1969 to 1974.
1970-71: I worked at a custom bikini shop in Lahaina called Hale Bikini & lived in Kihei with Barbara, one of 2 sisters that owned the shop..and Arnie, her cousin.
Got off work around late afternoon & had to hitch-hike home to Kihei. My ride dropped me off on the mountain side of the Hwy. close to the street I lived on. I decided to go to the beach and watch the sunset before I walked home. There was this little beach area, behind some houses ...mostly local people lived there so the beach was kind of private; I had to walk through some trees to get to the sandy, small beach...I'm facing the water, it's sunset time...to my left I notice a large round pinkish 'orb' that I first thought was the full moon being reflected by the sunset. So I turn my attention back to the oceon and that is when I see the unmistakable (white crescent) moon in the horizon more to my right. Immediately I turn back to this, now, huge glowing thing with the thought: "Well, what's that then?"
That was the last thing I recall on the beach...my next recollection...I'm standing at the base of my street watching this craft, I can see with more detail now, moving up and away from me. I'm saying good-bye(mentally); I feel great love; everything is perfectly normal feeling.
It's going toward the water, in the direction of the big island(?)...This is when I see the second one off in the far distance. But as soon as I start to process this, it's right next to the first one, right above me. I walk about 2 blocks up my street, both of them hovering with me the entire time, until I get to my house. I go inside and yell "Hey you guys, come out here and look at this!"
Barb and Arnie were there...they both came outside looked up at the two crafts, saying something like "Oh wow"!
Then, smooth and quiet, they were gone... faster than I had ever seen anything physically move.
Time and life has made me more skeptical;
When I analyze and put the memory of all this to mental test, the incident remains clear and the same.
And...I am not crazy, I have never been on psyche drugs or anti-depressants. I was not high on anything then, or the days before.
Oh yeah, description of:
At the beach: I must admit it just looked like a big full moon with a pinkish glow all about it.
At the base of my street: Dome shaped in the center that looked white, or aluminum as it got some distance...surrounded and supported all around (like Saturn) with something either solid or not
