Re:ancient navigational methods of Polynesia.

I read somewhere that they also used other methods like reading wind
behaviours,the waves,flight of birds, landwaves ( cause by waves breaking
on the shore which could be felt 80km away), and {something puzzling}
rays of lights radiating up to 150km from the island's shoreline on a 1 mtr.
depth!!!! Can anybody tell me what are these lights and any further info about
this method?

mahalo!
