Akualele Research Group

The Akualele Research Group was a Hawaii-based saucerian organisation, directed and operated by Riley Crabb (until his departure to California in 1957), which was active during the mid-1950s. The group's name, "Akualele," is a Hawaiian word meaning "fireball" or "streak of light," sometimes described as "flying spirits," associated with the practice of sorcery. The group published the Akualele Research Group Bulletin beginning in 1956.
