from a cruise ship balcony my stargazing wife and I saw a "star" streak across the sky, stop, zig zag erratically and disappear.

My wife and I were on the balcony of a cruise ship cabin, stargazing on a very clear night. My wife said,"did you see that?" I hadn't seen anything but as I looked to the sky where se pointed we both saw a "star" shoot laterally across the sky. It could have be some sort of wierd meteor at that point, but then it made a brief series of very precise straight line maneuvers (kind of zig zag like) and disappear.




NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the duration of the sighting was approximately 45 seconds. A meteor, almost certainly, would not have laster that long. PD

UFO sighted Caribbean Sea, by Disney Magic Cruise Vessel, witness greater than 3, full observation made by Bridge Officers

As recorded in ships official log book - "GPS Position - 18-08.0N, 064-16.2W. 1/O McRonald sights a fast moving white light approx 20 degrees above horizon, moving in a south easterly direction quickly turns into a spectacular series of lights, very intense similiar to an explosion. 3/O and Quartermaster confirm sighting. Staff Captain advised." At first observation looked like downed airliner. No reports on news, thus we believe it may have been satellite breaking up or meteor. Object seemed very large, perhaps 20 to 35 miles distance from us. Object moving exceptionally fast across sky, perhaps 6000 - 10000ft in altitude. Object than dissapated or became distant and disappeared.

Location: Caribbean Sea (cruise boat) (150 mi. N of Cozumel), FL, Caribbean Sea

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

carabian cruise brings view of three lights in a triangular shape that stay stationary then rapidly move to the east.

I was on carnival cruise ship sensation departing from tampa to cozemel. The second night of the cruiae my friend and I were on the deck and he said he just saw a shooting star but it was very unusual because it didnt have a tail. I didnt think to much of it because it was very clear that night. About five minuts later I looked up and saw three white lights to the south. They formed a triangle. It was very hard to tell how far away it was. They stayed stationary for a few seconds then moved rapidly to the east and went out of sight. Never seem anything like this. has anyone else on this cruise seen the same thing?



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and he sounded quite lucid to us. He actually reports here two separate events. We have invited him to have the witness to the first of the two events submit a report, as well. PD

Multi-light triangle shaped UFO over Caribbean Ocean, as viewed from a cruise ship.

The following is an account of a real UFO sighting from the balcony of a cruise ship in the Caribbean in 2002. I’m not sure why I have waited this long to file this report, but once an ardent skeptic of most UFO tales, everything changed on a late summer night in the Atlantic Ocean. So although late in arriving, here is my story: On August 27, 2002, while cruising aboard the ship Carnival Pride, I woke up from a deep sleep, only to find myself oddly sitting on the edge of the bed, facing our cabin’s patio door. The drapes were drawn. I do not know what alerted me to arise from my sleep, nor can I explain what prompted me to go out onto the cabins private balcony that early morning. It was approximately 2:30 am. As I stepped out onto the balcony, I moved forward to the balcony railing. Our ship was roughly 200 miles out from land, with the first destination stop, being Half Moon Cay, Carnival’s private island. Our cabin was positioned on the port side of the ship, facing west, traveling in a southerly direction.

At first glance I was drawn to the front of ship, as the moon was out and nearly visible through a small bank of clouds. The illumination of the moon cascaded over the dark blue pristine waters below. Then I proceeded to glance upwards, staring straight port side. To my amazement I spotted a very large cluster of multicolored lights. One light appeared to be very bright and white at its center, while a series of smaller individual lights of blue, green and red surrounded it. I can’t be sure, but it appeared very much as if its shape were triangular.

My best guess is that it was approximately 70 degrees off horizon and its scale, although difficult to determine would have covered a bald fist at arms length. By this determination, I gather that this object was very large and probably close. It did not move or make a sound. It merely hovered. A very slight misty cloud obscured about 25% of the visible object. It took a few minutes for my brain to register what it was seeing. I watched it for about 10 seconds. I was stunned! It definitely was not a plane. It was also unlikely a helicopter, especially given the distance from any land mass.

I must admit, despite the initial state of shock, I was quite proud of myself, in that I immediately recognized the rare nature of this observance and quickly took action. It registered with me, that only a photo or a video of this object, would exonerate me of any embellishment, should I choose to share this unbelievable sight with another. So the following actions occurred within the frame work of 7-9 seconds: I quickly remembered I had left our camera bag, just inside the patio door, on the floor, out of the way of the normal traffic aisle. The small quarters of our cabin made this a logical storage place. Coincidentally, it would also offer me the shortest distance in retrieving the cameras and film this object. As I turned to open the door, I placed one foot inside our cabin, keeping my other foot outside, thereby propping the door open. I reached in for our video camera and as I backpedaled to the open balcony railing again, I opened the lens case, activated the camera, all at the same time. This is why I reference the time frame of 7-9 seconds. Why is this important? It will become perfectly clear with my next testimonial.

As I swung the camera upwards and toward the direction of the object, to my utter dismay, it was gone. It had simply vanished. I couldn’t believe it. Only a few seconds had passed. I was however, not deterred. I noticed off in the distance, a very small but bright light. At first I thought it might be a planet, such as Mars, which as I recall, was highly visible in the Western sky at that time of the year. I still decided to zoom in and film it, in the event it might have been what I watched in total astonishment a few seconds earlier, and twenty-times larger! I took nearly two minutes of video. I used the railing cap to steady my camera. While I realize, that a digital camera, zoomed to a near infinite range, can cause square pixilation’s and that some subjects, illuminating brightly as a source, can create false images, such as a rainbow effect with twinkles of various colored lights; what I saw, was something far different. It seemed to have a single image of light, countered by the surprise emergence of a second (different) colored light from behind. Then a third colored light. I don’t think Mars would react that way.

At that point, I felt I had recorded a sufficient amount of tape to make a convincing case for something obviously unidentified as nothing short of an unexplained, unidentified flying object (UFO). It was now time to wake up my wife. While keeping our two children sleeping, I would soon add a second set of eyes, in a sanity check, to see if I was imagining the whole thing. I went inside our cabin and awoke her. Despite her groggy state, like a good trooper, she trudged out on the balcony with me, to add an equal witness to this sighting. While she manned (woman) a set of binoculars, I continued to film the subject. Once again and much more clearly, a red object immerged from behind the larger brighter object, as if hovering or orbiting around it.

The mystery only became more bizarre, as within minutes of the sighting, a group of three ships floating on the water, off in the distance, suddenly appeared. I know for certain that they were not there before. After discovering them, my film shows at least one of them floating on the surface.

To conclude, I can only surmise the following: Did (what ever it was) possess some artificial intelligence that flagged it of my observing presence on deck? If so, did it react by speeding away at an incredible rate (as I’ve heard of, in other cases) to avoid a video camera image that clearly would have rivaled the one I eventually captured? To film it at maybe 1-2 miles away vs. perhaps 20 miles? I’ll never know. And what significance did the surprise appearance of three smaller vessels on the ocean have to do with this experience. I have enclosed snapshot pictures or frames of the video I shot. I have kept the video to myself. As of this writing, after 4 ½ years, only 6-7 other people know of our UFO encounter.

Reported: 2010-09-03 11:53 Pacific
Duration: 15 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Caribbean Sea, , Caribbean

Shape: Sphere


3 maroon brown sphere-like objects in perfect line moving forward with 2 second interval per 'hop'.

I was a child standing on the balcony at night alone. Must have been roughly between 1980-1985.

I witnessed 3 maroon brown sphere-like objects in the sky in a perfect line one behind the other.

It made no sound. The movement was going forward in a sort of gentle hopping way with approximately two second interval per hop.

I was able to follow it for about 15-20 seconds until it was too far to follow anymore.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 29378
Occurred: 1979-04-10 02:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2003-06-24 18:29 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Caribbean Sea, , Caribbean Sea

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Underwater lights approached the ship from behind and hovered for around 20 minutes

This may or may not qualify for your database as the object was under water and not airborne.

I was stationed on a Navy ship that was underway in the Carribean Sea between Bermuda and Puerto Rico. I was standing aft lookout when I noticed a round set of lights behind the ship just under the water. The lights were red, green and white split equally at 120 degrees each with a total width of around 6 feet. We were towing a device at the time designed to detect nuclear submarines at long distances.(This device never heard whatever this was).

The light moved from just behind us at around 20 yards to the right then the left and then back as if to be surveying the towed cable that was running behind us. At the time my initial response was that I was not believing what I was seeing. After watching this for about 20 minutes I reported it to the bridge. No sooner had I reported it than it disappeared(almost as if it were listening to me). The report to the bridge brought down the Captain, the chief engineer and the operations officer but the light was long gone by the time they got their and they most likely wrote it off as another young sailor smoking dope on the fantail and seeing things. I never said anything about it after that night but it was definetly unidentified. It is interesting to note that this was in the Bermuda Triangle where so many other strange encounters have occured .

At that time I was a young seaman age 19. I was a fully qualifed lookout with 6 months experience at sea.

It is very possible that even more data is available from the official ships log. I can give all the relevant info if someone wants to call and followup on it.

Quite an erie event in my life especially for one who has always believed there were others out there somewhere.
