Hard orange sphere seen over Deleware Bay winter of '89. The sphere dropped down to both sides of the ferry then departed.
Winter evening,winter of '89/90.
Three merchant marine officers were on the bridge of one of the Cape May, NJ - Lewes, MD ferry ( Two of the officers were the Captian and the Pilot. The other was a pilot trainee, me. All of us were ex- military, all had high Merchant Marine Licenses and two of us had a/c pilot licenses.
Just prior to leaving the pier a large, hard edged, orange colored sphere descended down to eye level on the starboard side of the bridge, hovered there for a couple of minutes. It then proceded straight up for a short distance, went horizantal to the other side of the ship (port side) then came straight (vertically) down and again stopped just outside the bridge railing at eye level. After a very short period of time , maybe one minute, the sphere then departed straight up a very high rate of speed then headed southward at an approximate 45 degree angle until it was out of sight.
