Cruise Ship witnessesMy girlfriend and I were on a cruise to the Caribbean and one evening we were sitting on the top deck looking out at the stars and talking, other folks wandering around when we overheard people talking and pointing off into the distance. I got off my lounge chair and walked over to the railing to check it out and off in the distance, was a light, much brighter than the stars around it and it was pacing our ship. I though it was just another cruise ship since we were in the cruise ship lanes down there but I continued to watch for acouple minutes when it shot up at a 45 degree into the sky faster then any jet or rocket could touch and then it just stopped. It continued to stay at this high altitude for a couple minutes,(by now a pretty large group of people have gathered all pointing and trying to offer explanations) After a few moments it crossed back 90 degrees and shot back across the sky, stopped for literally afew seconds and then shot straight up and out of sight. We talked about that experience with the other passengers and even the older folks all agreed, There is no way anyone or anything from this world could have eccelerated at the speeds and literally stop completely. I'll never forget it .
