I'm not convinced they are spirits.  I am not implying spirits don't exist.  I just don't think this one is.  My opinion, FWIW.

Kim, pretty mare.  Maybe she has animal spirits watching over her.

Dr.Bill, I get those kind of orbs all the time when taking night shots trying to get a picture of a UFO. They seem to be way up in the sky.

Interesting picture and footage. Dr Bill, you could actually see the orbs? Neet.

I don't know what kind of orbs these are but they seem to hang out a lot around my mare.

I love the thought of it being "the spirits of Hawaiian ancestors." (DrBill)

More comments it looks like a humongous orb!   I pick up orbs a lot when I photograph my mare it sure does looks like one to me.

I can tell you there are oddities with spirits with the Hawaiian islands.  I have a friend who lived there most of her life and the locals can tell you all kinds of stories.  And I was lucky enough in late 2001 to visit Oahu, and I did have an odd occurance happen (with my cam corder) on top of Diamond Head.

There  are many  theories and I  am  sure  more  will surface  before  the truth is  discovered.  Such  is the   way  of the  unknown.  No one theory is  wrong   until  proven  so   ;)

 

Huge Mysterious Bubble of Light in Hawaii captured by Subaru Telescope - Caused by UFO？ StarGate?

According to Discover Magazine's Bad Astronomy blog, the soap bubble-like characteristics of the light burst indicate that it has been caused by a 'sudden impulse of energy and rapid expansion of material'.

Citing online astronomy forums, Bad Astronomy reveals that a Minuteman III ICBM had been scheduled to launch from Vandenburg Air Force Base, California, three minutes before the burst was observed, at about 3:35am Hawaii time.

The stars of the Cassiopeia constellation are visible in the horizon behind the burst, indicating that the webcam was pointed north-east - towards the base and the missile's probable flight path.

Again citing internet forums, the blog speculates the burst could have caused by a charges in the missile's third stage detonating to kill its thrust as it arcs across the Earth.

At a pre-determined moment, ports in the side of this section of the missile are blown open by explosive charges, allowing remaining fuel to be dumped fast.

This rapid fuel dump cuts the missile's thrust at precisely the right time allowing the warhead to be targeted with devastating accuracy at the right spot back on the surface of the Earth.

As the missile is above most of the Earth's atmosphere at this point, when the fuel gas is suddenly ejected it blows away from the missile in a perfect sphere - which could explain the bubble-like characteristics of the light.

For this explanation, the timing seems to be right. However, it is only a theory and there has not yet been any official confirmation of the claims.
