The photos shown at beginning of this video are entirely unrelated to the 2023 Maui wildfire and any claims of directed-energy weapons (DEWs). One shows an optical phenomenon during an oil refinery fire, January 2018: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/maui-wildfires-caused-by-direct-energy-weapon/ Another shows the launch of a SpaceX rocket, May 2018: https://www.logicallyfacts.com/en/fact-check/false-photo-shows-a-vertical-light-coming-down-from-the-sky-in-turkey https://www.newsweek.com/spacex-photos-launch-see-grace-fo-california-940645

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1690957417339822081

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
