The Experience
What actually moves through the night sky, and how do you tell the difference? The tour starts with training: using 3rd-generation military night vision goggles, you learn to recognize satellites by their steady paths, planes by their blinking lights, and helicopters by their behavior patterns. Once you can identify the known objects, the real work begins—spotting what doesn't fit those patterns. You sit in a comfortable outdoor setting with a blanket if you need one, a chair beneath you, and a laser pointer to mark what you're seeing.
Dr. Lisa Thompson anchors the evening with firsthand accounts of UFO encounters and stories about humanity's relationship with the cosmos. The session weaves together observation and narrative, moving between what you see through the goggles and what the guide shares about galactic history and the beings said to inhabit it. Bottled water keeps you comfortable through the 1.5 hours. The exact spot where this happens—a location on the Big Island chosen for clear skies—gets sent to you the day before.
An optional Expanded Spiritual UFO Tour runs immediately after the intro session ends, adding another 1.5 hours and a guided meditation to connect with what the operator calls your galactic guides and family. That extension costs extra and is booked separately. The whole experience depends on weather; the operator monitors conditions and will reschedule if the sky won't cooperate.

Top questions
What do the military night vision goggles actually let me see that I can't with my eyes alone?
The 3rd-generation military night vision goggles amplify starlight and allow you to spot fainter objects moving across the sky—satellites, aircraft and other phenomena that are harder to track with naked-eye observation. They're the tool that makes identifying patterns possible.
How does the tour teach me to spot UFOs if I've never done this before?
The Intro UFO Tour starts by training you to recognize known objects—how satellites move in straight lines, how planes blink, how helicopters behave—so you develop a baseline. Once you know what "normal" looks like through the goggles, you're equipped to notice what doesn't fit those patterns.
What's the difference between the Intro UFO Tour and the Expanded Spiritual UFO Tour?
The Intro tour is 1.5 hours of observation and UFO encounter stories. The Expanded Spiritual tour adds a second 1.5-hour session with a guided meditation designed to raise your vibration and connect with galactic guides, plus teachings about different alien races and humanity's place in the universe. It costs extra and books separately.
When does the tour happen, and how do I know where to go?
The experience begins between 6 and 7:30 p.m., with the exact time varying by season based on sunset. Your meeting location on the Big Island is sent to you within 24 hours of the tour date.
Can my kids come, and is this physically demanding?
Children from age 6 are welcome. The activity is suitable for all fitness levels—you sit in a chair the whole time with a blanket available, so it's accessible regardless of mobility or stamina.
