Aloha!  Thank you for joining me on the Ghostlore of Hawaii:  Paranormal Paradise Podcast where the green bottles are always chilled, the j**nts always filled, and the host is always thrilled! (Please don't leave... I won't do that again...)  I am your host as always, Jared! 
Tonight we'll be venturing off course a bit from our normal ghost stories; but don't worry, the topic still very paranormal.  This episode covers the UFO/UAP sightings that have been witnessed in Hawaii since back in the 1970's that still continue to this day.  In 2020, several videos of unidentified objects flying over the Islands made national headlines, with more and more sightings happening every year.  I'll cover many of these popular incidents as well as a couple of firsthand experiences witnessed by people I know.  
So sit back, put on your tinfoil hats, and let's get into this.....

One benefit of becoming a Kanaka Tier Patron is naming a character in a future story.  The character Jessi was named by AndyMac, and Dr. Grey was named by Afton Stowers.
