Object over ocean 100 feet, came closer to boat stopped for 10 minutes, reversed from same direction and speed and disappeared.
(8-6-05) 8 Friends were shark fishing off the coast of Newport beach CA about 12 miles off the coast when one of our buddies called out a bright light just hovering over the water about 100 feet.
We thought it was a reflection off a building or a huge ship but realized that no structure could be seen below above or on the side of this spherical object. We checked the GPS heading and the direction was South West which is only hundreds of miles of ocean, thus that ruled out any reflection on any buildings.
Also, it could not have been a ship because it was 100 feet off the ground with no structure below. It seemed to be 4 to 5 miles away in the distance but that was our guess. It had no sound of blades on a helicoper as it stood there for 10 minutes hoovering.
Then we noticed it started to get closer and bigger and some friends were getting a little freaked out but I felt only positive from it. Its strange for me to explain but that it what I felt. I knew we had nothing to be worried about.
Then it stopped and hoovered for another 9 or 10 mintues at that moment I got 1 picture of it(not digital) :(.
Then finally the object reversed in the same direction and speed it came from and then just faded out and disappeared.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and he sounded quite credible to us. PD))
