We went to the beach to watch the sunrise. We noticed 4 or 5 men in an open boat shinning a spotlight up at the sky (they almost ran aground). We looked up to see why the men were shinning the light in the sky and we saw a star like object. The object went NE at a fast rate of speed (at least 5,000 mph) then it stopped, went west stopped, then east stopped, then west stopped, then east and dissappeared. We looked at each other and said,"did you see that?". We felted excited and kinda strange to see a ufo, we were confused about what the men in the boat were doing. The men in the boat turn around and left when we saw the object dissappear. It almost looked like the men in the boat were signaling the object with the spotlight and somehow knew the object was going to be there.
