核実験ぽく見えるが、もちろん、これは爆発ですらない。

これはマウイの風物詩で、サトウキビ収穫のときに、まず葉を除去するため、畑を燃やしている光景。サトウキビ事業者のひとつHawaiian Commercial & Sugarによれば...

Harvesting: When the cane is about two years old and ready to harvest, the fields are burned to remove the leaves, leaving just the juice-filled stalks for transport to the mill. Each field is burned only once every two years. We carefully monitor weather conditions prior to each burn, including wind speed and direction, and we utilize forecasts and models to play our pre-harvest burns so as to minimize the inconvenience to our neighbors. We also make our harvesting schedule available to the public a week in advance, and provide real-time updates. You can access our most recent schedule here or sign up to receive free email or text alerts here.

着火から終わりまでを見ると、それっぽいキノコ雲を捉えることができる。

遠景だと美しいキノコ雲だが、すぐ下は、ただの迷惑な煙。煙反対の声を上げている人もいるようだ...
