2005-11-03 - Norman Island (Britsh Virgin Islands) - Oval

Oval object with two sets of lights around Outer edge. 2-3 minutes

At approximately 1:30AM on November 3, 2005, I spotted an unusual light in the sky while sailing in the BVI's. We were anchored off the Northwest corner of Norman Island.

The night was very clear and all of the stars were extremly bright. As I was laying in my berth looking out of the hatch, an object appeared. It was oval in shape and had 2 sets of white lights around the outer edge. It moved from North to South.

After the object passsed by the first hatch I sat up and looked through the secong as it passed by that one. I moved to the deck area to find it continuing South until it was out of sight.

It was difficult to determine the size as it was diffcult to determine how high it was. I do believe that it could have been perhaps 20,000-30,000 feet or more determining the speed that it was moving.
