Good questions. Lots of weird stuff. Theory on airborne DEW is that they cannot be too high or the laser beam gets dissipated by the atmosphere. This points to potential airborne vehicles relatively low or a shot from a nearby mountain (see location of DEW facility on Maui).
Attack from the Maui DEW facility (on Haleakala, I believe) would have been from the east southeast back to the west northwest, but it might have been difficult to be precise unless they were using GPS coordinate targeting.
Direction of attack is important. If it was not from directly above, then tires could be ignited directly via DEW energy from a side-angle shot. This might explain the cars in fields with burned up tires.
It is possible that it was a Chinese weapon used as they already admitted to "laser mapping Maui" around the same time as the fires. CCP may have stolen DEW weapons tech from US just like did with everything else such as F22, etc.
