NUFORC UFO Sighting 44072
Occurred: 2005-05-18 23:00 Local
Reported: 2005-05-22 13:23 Pacific
Duration: 5 to 10 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Grand Cayman (on cruise; Caribbean), , Gulf of Mexico

Shape: Circle


My wife and I were on a cruise in the Carribean between Cozamel Mexico and the Grand Cayman Islands.

We had returned to our room on the evening of Wednesday 5/17 and were standing on the balcony enjoying the waves and weather. The sky had a few clouds and we debated a few seconds whether the light we were seeing to the north east was a star or a plane.

After a few minutes we concluded it was a star and had taken seats on the balcony furniture. From the corner of my eye I saw a small light shoot across the sky but lost sight of it as it was above the balcony top.

My wife stood to see what it was and she immediately said "stand up, you have got to see this; Hurry , Hurry!"

I caught sight of the light (which had a red tint to it) racing across the sky. I immdediately thought that it was a shooting star, because that was exactly the speed that it was going (but it was clearly below cloud level, which is what alarmed my wife in the first place.)

Then the light stopped dead still in the sky, within the same visual space as the star we had observed earlier. The object sat motionless for about 1 to 2 seconds, then moved left at about half the original speed for about 2 seconds. It appeared to make a quick circular motion then shot across the sky in front of the ship again at the speed of a shooting star. We lost sight of it when it crossed the front of the ship.

This all took place in a matter of about 5 to 10 seconds.

I am a sceptic of all things mysterious by nature and prefer to believe that there is most likely a sound scientific explanation for what we saw. I just don't know what it is at this point.

I would be interested to know if any one else has seen a similar phenomenon and what some likley explanations might be.

UFO at sea

I was on a missle cruiser in the navy at the time of the sighting. I was on watch duty at that time. We were in the gulf of mexico when this orrcured. I was looking east and I saw 4 black craft coming out of the ocean.The only thing I herd was the sound of the water coming off of the craft.They moved very quickly. The other wittness saw this also. We both contacted the OD and he told us not to put this in our logs as this might be a black ops base. But these craft looked like nothing I knew of at the time. At that time we knew nothing of the stealth bomber or the stealth fighter. But these craft made no noise. The looked like triangle. No visable formation lights or any kind of markings that would make them any kind of united states air craft.I herd some of the brige crew in the mess hall make the same kind of statements on seeing the craft. I ask a radar operator if he knew what it could of been. He denied seeing the craft or seeing anything odd that night. I lost contact with the other witness he was moved to another ship that was all they told me.

Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. We have assigned above an arbitrary date in September 1992. PD

Occurred: 1968-09-01 23:00 Local

I would like to know if anyone else from the USCG Venturous has reported this.

In 1968 I was stationed on the USCG cutter Venturous 625 sailing from Lorraine Ohio, where it had been built, to San Diego Calif. where it was going to be stationed.

Somewhere between Jamaica and the Panama Canal is where the sighting happened.

After galley duty myself and another seaman had gone up on the flight deck to relax and cool off before going to bed. We were both laying down on our backs looking up at the night sky and talking. When I noticed a bright star. It seemed to be getting larger this went on for maybe minute or two.

I finally mentioned it to Gary and asked him if he saw it. At that time it sped up and was above us in a second.

It was a Huge sphere that was a bright light that lit up the water around the ship. It was so close I wanted to run but could not move. It circled the ship twice then shot straight back up where it came from.

There was just a slight humming noise that it made.

There were three of us that I know of who saw it. Gary, Frank, the seaman on watch on top of the bridge and myself. The people on watch in the bridge had to see it also.

I asked Frank the next morning what had been put in the log about it. He told me the watch commander did not write anything. I never went up to the bridge to look at the log book myself.

I have tried to locate Frank and Gary via the Internet but have not been successful.I wanted to ask them if they remember this because it seems like a dream but one I will never forget; perhaps I'm in denial but I know what I saw that night and deep down I know it wasn't a dream but rather a reality.
