A bright spherical light rising from the surface of the ocean was observed from a cruise ship. On the evening of Wednesday, April 21, 2010, my wife and I returned to our room on board a ship plying the Caribbean Sea. At 23: 40 we went out on the balcony to enjoy the night air. We were driving to the east of the Dominican Republic after leaving St. Thomas earlier in the day. 

Immediately after going out on the balcony, I noticed a spherical light on the water a couple of hundred yards from the ship. I told my wife:

"What kind of light is that?"

She said:

"It's a ship."

But then I pointed out that the ship is not visible and the light does not look like the light of a ship. It was very bright, bright white, and there were no other lights around. A few seconds after this word, it began to rise from the surface of the ocean. It reached an altitude of about 30 degrees above the horizon. Rising up, the light became more spherical. Then he began to perform acrobatic maneuvers. 

The object moved for a few seconds in one direction, and then darted back across the sky at an angle of almost 180 degrees from the direction in which it was moving. When we saw this, we pointed out the object to the group on the balcony directly above us. They confirmed that we are all observing the same thing. The object darted in the sky for several minutes, then again descended to the surface of the ocean. 

As he moved downwards, it seemed that he was approaching directly to the ship. All of us, watching the object, as if retreated and for a moment wondered if the object would reach the ship. When the object approached the ship, about 150 yards away, it went into the water. We could see the light underwater for a few seconds, and then it disappeared. While watching the object, my wife and I talked to other witnesses, commenting:

"Do you see what I see?", " Wow!", etc. 

We confirmed to each other that we all saw the same thing. Undoubtedly, we all saw the same thing. However, none of us had any idea what we had just seen. The object was moving in a way that I had never seen a flying object move by a person before. He cut and flew faster than any bird I've ever seen. 

Sometimes he moved so fast that it was difficult to track his movement across the sky. Then it will stop. It was an incredible event. I have no idea what the origin or purpose of the object is. I have no idea if it was created by a human or some other origin. 

If it were a human, we have an apparatus that can maneuver incredibly. The fact that it went into the water and disappeared made it even more incredible and mysterious for me. I have no other way to know other than what I saw and the feeling I had when I saw it, but I'm pretty sure that we all saw something that wasn't created by humans. I could be wrong. Perhaps we have a fantastic ship. But if I had to bet, what we saw did not come from the people of that time.

Summary: Bright spherical light rising from ocean surface observed from cruise ship On the evening of Wednesday April 21 , 2010, my wife and I had returned to our room aboard a ship cruising the Caribbean. At 11:40 p.m. we went out on to the balcony to enjoy the night air. We were passing to the east of the Dominican Republic after leaving St. Thomas earlier that afternoon. Just after going out on the balcony I noticed a while spherical shaped light out on the water a couple of hundred yards out form the ship. I remarked to my wife, “What’s that light out there”? She said, ” It’s a ship”. But then I pointed out that there wasn’t a ship to be seen and the light didn’t look like a ship light. It was very intense, bright white, and there were no other lights around. Within seconds of saying this, the light began to rise up from the ocean surface. It reached a height of approximately 30 degrees above the horizon. After rising up the light appeared to be more spherical. It then began to perform acrobatic maneuvers. The object would move along a few seconds in one direction then dart back across the sky at a nearly 180 degree angle from the direction it was traveling. As we were seeing this we pointed the object out to a group on a balcony just above us. They confirmed that we were all seeing the same thing. The object darted around in the sky for a few minutes then moved back down to the ocean surface. As it moved down, it appeared to be coming right at the ship. All of us watching the object kind of stepped back and had a moment wondering if the object was going to come all the way to the ship. As the object approached the ship, about 150 yards out, it went into the water. We could see the light under the water for a few seconds, and then it disappeared. While watching the object my wife and I were talking to the other witnesses making comments like, “Are you seeing what I am seeing?”, “Wow!” and variations of “Holy Crap!”. We confirmed with each other that we had all seen the same thing. There is no doubt we all saw the same thing. However, none of us had any idea what we had just seen. The object moved in ways I never seen a man made flying object move before. It cut and darted faster than any bird I’ve ever seen. At times it moved so fast it was hard to track it moving across the sky. Then it would stop. It was an incredible event. I have no idea what the object’s origins or purpose was. I have no idea if it was man made or of some other origin. If it was man made, we have craft that can do some incredible maneuvering. That it went into the water and disappeared made it all the more incredible and all the more mysterious to me. I have no way of knowing other than the what I saw and the feeling I got while seeing it, but I’m pretty sure we all saw something not of human making. I could be wrong. Its possible we have some fantastic craft. But if I had to bet, what we saw did not come from humans of this time frame.
