Sailors report glowing objects moving over the Atlantic
Two sailors reported seeing glowing objects while their ship crossed the Atlantic.
The encounter was reported on October 11 and began around 3:25 a.m., roughly 400 miles south of Nova Scotia.
The witness said one orb was followed by three or four more, which moved up and down and changed direction without a clear pattern.

The witness described clear skies and good visibility, but no independent confirmation is given.
The account was submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center; no further investigation or next step is described.

We picked up no targets on the radar.
All twisting and turning, rising and falling together in no set pattern
Every so often they went somewhere else altogether, at a speed I can only call unreasonable, and then were simply there again.
