A yellow/orange circle which looked as if it radiated heat was moving at such a fast speed that the pictures I took left a long ropeI was at sea on a curise ship leaving Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was approximately four in the morning. I looked out the widow next to my bed and I saw an unusually large light. It was about four times the size of the evening star. I watched it and noticed that it made a reflection in the water like the moon would if it were shining on the water. I got my digital camers and used to the zoon lense so I could see it better. When I magnified it as much as I could it looked like a yellow/orange ball that looked like to radiated heat. It stood perfectly still until I tried to take a picture of it and when I tried to take a picture it jumped around sporadically in the view finder on the camera. I took the picture and the picture looked somewhat like a tubular neon snake shaped object. I took several picture and the energy it obmitted was of various patterns. I watched the object until daylight made it impossible to see.
