3 orange flickering balls hovered across the sky over the ocean off the Kihei, HI coast.I was standing on the beach looking out towards the ocean and saw what looked like a distant plane on fire. Flight speed was steady across the sky from right to left. The second and third fireballs appeared shortly after following the first from behind. Their flight paths were not straight lines and eventually came to a halt. 2 fireballs faded out of sight as if flew directly away from us, and the 3rd got brighter as if flying towards us but then it too faded away. Entire episode lasted about 5 minutes.((NUFORC Note: Witnesses elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))
