Sphere hovering over the ocean
We were vacationing on Tybee Island and had an ocean front condo. My husband was on the balcony at approximately 11:00 PM. I opened the sliding doors to the balcony to join him. I saw as I opened the doors a large ball of white light that appeared to be hovering over the ocean near the water's edge. I asked him what it was and he said he didn't know but had been watching it for a few mins.
I moved to the left of the balcony to sit beside him and realized this object had no trailing light behind it. We didn't believe it then to be a light from a ship and there was nothing notable on the water that we could see. I hadn't been in my seat more than 3 seconds when it disappeared right in front of us. I don't know which way it went because it went so quickly it left us really puzzled. It didn't change colors but remained white the entire time before it was gone.
We just sat there not saying anything for some seconds and then we started to speculate as to what in the world it could have been.
My husband hadn't gotten up to come and get me because he was trying to figure out what it was, and he didn't want it to disappear if he made movement on the balcony.
He then said that it was much bigger than we probably realized and appeared to him to be farther out than I thought it was. Its light was cast on the water underneath of it. I especially wanted to ask my husband if he had seen any beam of light behind it and he hadn't. He said it was solitary...just hovering there over the water.
This particular night I didn't see anyone on the beach and usually there were people walking with flashlights all through the night on that beach. I have no idea if anyone else saw it. I tried to remember if I had reported it here on this site before but couldn't so I decided to report it just in case. Needless to say I didn't sleep well at all the remaining nights. We never saw it again but unless it was some strange natural occurrence we just happened to witness and know nothing about then it was indeed unidentified! by us.
