Mariners Report Darting Orbs Off Nova Scotia; No Radar Echo Recorded

NORTH ATLANTIC, OFF NOVA SCOTIA — A report filed with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC 201555) describes a curious display witnessed from the navigation bridge of a ship crossing the North Atlantic on October 11, 2026. The account was later republished by the website UFO Sightings Daily.

According to the eyewitness, the second mate drew attention at about 03:25 to a strange light on the port bow, roughly 10 degrees above the horizon. The author states that the sky was clear, the waxing crescent moon was about one percent illuminated, and visibility was excellent. The vessel was making 17 knots on a bearing of 078 in calm seas, with no other traffic in sight. The position given is about 40°01′ N, 62°57′ W.

Watching through binoculars, the two officers say, they saw a single glowing orb, perhaps 12 to 16 miles distant, rise and fall rapidly and swerve left and right. It periodically moved at what the author calls hypersonic speed, for five to ten minutes. Three or four similar orbs then appeared and moved together in no set pattern. The witness writes that they sometimes vanished to another spot at an "unreasonable" speed before reappearing. No targets were picked up on radar.

The website's editor, Scott C. Waring, takes a bolder view. He describes the lights as extraterrestrial craft, reads the absence of a radar return as evidence of cloaking technology, and estimates the main object at 75 to 100 meters across, a figure he derives from binocular range. He also likens the event to drone sightings off New Jersey in November 2025.

The witness's own account offers no such conclusions, and neither it nor the post mentions any investigation or conventional explanation. The location is given in the post as both five miles and some 600 to 700 kilometers south of Nova Scotia, a discrepancy the post leaves unresolved. The footage mentioned by the editor was not described in detail.
