Saw a light brighter than a star and slightly larger. It appeared low on the western horizon between Kihei and Lanai over the water. It flew straight up slowly but faster than a helicopter could fly straight up then it paused for a 20 seconds and then slowly flew straight down. It disappeared below the rooftop but appeared to fly into the water although because of the roofline I did not see entry.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
