In the '70s, lived on the windward side of the island, and one night had what I think may have been a UFO experience. Was at the beach late one night, sitting on a log about 20 feet back from the water. Was in a mind-funk, so disappointed by my fellow man that I swore to myself that if there was a bus off this planet, I would take it - then chastized myself by answering my own plea "Yeah, you can get off, but it is always a round trip ticket." Suddenly, out over the water (hard to judge distances even in the daylight when over the water) there was a light - not an uncommon thing as choppers are always flying over Kaneohe Bay, day or night - but there was something unusual about the beam as it hit the water that consciously I was not aware of but subconsciously made quick note of and recalled later on, upon reflection of the event (the beam of light did not diffract - it was like a laser). The beam of light slowly crawled over the water towards shore in absolutely direct alignment with my body but did not realize this until it actually did so; in other words, the path of light never wavered, but from the moment it hit the water's surface had a certain destination already. As the light reached the shoreline, was brought out of my mind-funk revelrie just long enough to muse that the pilot (of what I presumed to be just another chopper out over the water) was testing his infrared, and he had already located by body sitting on a log. When the light crawled up my legs, I stood up, fully expecting at any second to hear the chopper's engine and feel the downdraft of its blades, but neither occurred. The instant I looked up into this intense bright white light, I had a thought before I even realized I thought it. In other words, I had the thought even before I thought it and the thought was this: "No, I am not ready yet." In an instant, the light was gone. There was complete silence the entire time. Not once did I hear an engine of any sort, nor once did I feel a chopper's blades (and I do know what they feel like because once I helped an injured horseback rider who needed to be air-evac'd out, and you are unmistakably pelted with ground debris). I had also seen UFO's at night in my teens in Penna where a "star" would suddenly shoot across the entire heavens and stop, "pretend to be a star" then a half hour or hour or minutes later, would shoot off across the heavens at a 90-degree angle then again "pretend to be a star" in the sky then again would do this all night long until about 45-min before dawn when they would stay transfixed in the night sky and no longer fly about (or at least be seen doing it). To prove just how SLOW mentally most Americans are when told this, they just blink their eyes and have that blank stare (like a cow out in a pasture) and say "So?" You actually have to lead them by the nose and tilt their heads up to the sky and say "Okay, say there is a jet going across the sky just now - how long does it take to go from here to there?" They will say "Maybe a minute?" Then I respond "Okay, so if you saw something that flew as fast as a falling star that shoots across the heavens in a second, then 15 min later it shoots off at a 90-degree angle in another direction across the night sky then stops in the blink of an eye "camouflaged" again as a motionless star, would you still presume that to be a plane?" Only then you see the rusty wheels of their brains start to churn and groan "Ooohhhh...." Nowadays with all the retro-engineering from Area 51 that has been going on, it would be hard to tell the aliens from top-secret USAF pilots learning how to work the technology. Most Americans are CLUELESS about how many decades technology is withheld from the public. Take a peek inside the cab/hood at the technology of a Chevy truck from 1965 for instance, then ponder that 4 years later ... we were on the moon.

As for your comment re: "We all had to give up our rights because of 9/11." NO "WE" DID NOT! THEY WERE STOLEN FROM ME BUT AS AMERICANS ARE QUITE COWARDLY, THEY CAVED WITHOUT EVEN A WHIMPER - LIKE DOGS. FROM THE SECOND I SAW THE TOWERS TUMBLE, I KNEW IT WAS A CONTROLLED DEMOLITION (911truth.org). PASSAGE OF THE PATRIOTS (PATOOHEY!) ACT WAS AN ACT OF TREASON COMMITTED BY CONGRESS AND A TREASONOUS PRESIDENT WHO ONLY CAME TO POWER BECAUSE THE SUPREME COURT ITSELF COMMITTED A BLATENTLY ILLEGAL ACT - INVOLVING ITSELF IN THE ELECTIVE PROCESS OVER WHICH IT HAD NO LEGAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER. SO PLEASE DO NOT EVER SAY "WE" AGAIN WHEN REFERRING TO 9/11 AS I GAVE UP N-O-T-H-I-N-G, BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY DID - TO HAVE SUCH AN ATTITUDE THEN AND ONLY NOW GETTING AROUND TO QUESTIONING THIS? SHAME ON YOU AND EVERY SINGLE MAN IN THE MILITARY WHO DID NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT THEY ACTUALLY SWORE TO IN THE OATH THEY TOOK. AND SO DID EVERY BRANCH OF THE MILITARY WHO ALSO COMMITTED TREASON EVEN THOUGH THESE SO-CALLED "DEFENDERS" SWORE AN OATH TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES - NOT A PRESIDENT. I REPEAT - NOT ANY PRESIDENT. If you are only now just getting around to questioning A-U-T-H-O-R-I-T-Y you are demanded to respect ... will provide you with a web site that will explain every STUPID-APPEARING act our gov has committed over the past 40 years: TRUTH-IT.NET (click on 'Money & Banking.' Don't be deceived by the simplistic look of the site, it was designed for the attention span of the average American, short articles accompanied by short videos that go on, ad infinitum. If you don't know who owns the Federal Reserve - you don't deserve to be visited by aliens as IF AN ALIEN DID LAND IN YOUR BACK YARD AND IF HE ASKS TO BE TAKEN TO YOUR "LEADER" - FOR HEAVENS SAKE, AT LEAST KNOW WHO "THEY" ARE, AND TRUST ME - IT IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF MILITARY FORCES, so if you don't know - then don't be so concerned with aliens or their purposes in our skies. Sadly, we've already proven our level of 'intelligence' to them long ago.

Frank:

Those are some of the most beautiful photo's I've seen in quite awhile! (That's not even including the ones with UFO's when I can make them out. I can see about half of the UFO's for multiple reasons. I, myself, am not familiar with Kaneohe Bay. Maybe the owner of our website will send me over for an investigation though, it sure looks like something we need to take a closer look into. Meanwhile, I'll do some asking around here.
