Those two area-wide flashes at 4 seconds is definitely energy release in the atmosphere. It is neither lightning nor something like reflection in the sky of result of a transformer burning out, it is suspicious as hell. The rapid pulse speed of the flashes (couple milliseconds) says to me it's not a passing reflection in the car window, that would be a lot slower (quarter second maybe).

I note that "The Maui Space Surveillance System, is routinely involved in numerous observing programs and has the capability of projecting lasers into the atmosphere." Hmmm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maui_Space_Surveillance_Complex

I also note that the US Space Force has three groups dedicated to electromagnetic warfare. Translation - they may do DEW. The Maui operations are suspicious because they are heavily equipped to do optical technology and use lasers. It is plausible that the Maui facility could direct infrared lasers to ground locations below them, and IR lasers could instantly start fires with no effort. The video flashes are not of IR light, which is invisible, but an IR burst triggering fires would have rapid visible pulse flashes from the ignition.

Because the region was filled with extremely dry brush, it would be very easy to laser-ignite it quickly. CO2 IR lasers are routinely used to weld with, for example, and can get something very hot instantly. Also a mountain laser could reach the boats which mysteriously all burned too. One has to ask, how could burning brush make many boats on the ocean burn?

I found that the mountaintop Space Force facility at 10,000 feet in East Maui is 30 miles from the city of Lahaina in West Maui. The visibility distance to horizon from 10,000 feet is 123 miles thus the city can be reached by laser from the facility. I hope a hungry ambitious journalist goes and researches this.
