SIGHTING: ST. THOMAS (NEAR; ON CRUISE SHIP)

Witness Testimony

"Many clusters lof lights over the CaribbeanOver the past several years we have noticed flashing lights over the Caribbean while we have been on cruises. I have pointed them out to many people on the ship and that would always say that they were aircraft. I noted that they would not move as I watched them for several hours. On Jan28, 28 and 30 I was on top deck of a cruise ship and seen a group of flashing lights off the starboard side at both 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock. The cluster at 1 o'clock was very bright with red, blue, white and yellow flashing lights. Very bright. At about 12 midnight we heard a loud "gong" and a deep voice which the wife and I could not understand. The nest day I contacted an engineer on the bridge of our ship and inquired as to the existance of the lights and if they were a satalite. He said he had seen the lights, described them and could not tell me their origin. The wife snd also noted several more light clusters way off in the distance."
