During the ALOHA-93 campaign coincident imaging and interferometric measurements of the near infrared and visible wavelength nightglow emissions were made from Haleakala Crater, Maui. On 10 October, 1993 a most unusual wave event was observed. This disturbance appeared as a sharp ''front'' followed by several conspicuous wave crests which progressed rapidly through the imager's field of view (180¿). As the front passed overhead the interferometer detected a sudden jump in both the OH intensity (>50%) and its rotational temperature (~20 K) with the temperature increase leading the intensity by almost 15 min. At the same time the imager registered a sharp decrease in the OI(557.7 nm) emission intensity. A description of this remarkable event follows. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
