Initial data
On June 29, 2009, at approximately 19: 30. The cruise ship departed from Miami, Florida, off the coast of Puerto Rico. My wife and I returned to the cabin on the balcony.
I went out on the balcony to look at the ocean and see if there were any other ships nearby. I didn't see any other ships.
I actually saw three red lights in the shape of a triangle, one fire above two below, perhaps 1-2 miles away, in the sky, probably 15-20 degrees above the horizon. The sky was clear, with scattered clouds.
At first I thought that these three red lights were something like a group of helicopters. I am an Air Force veteran, I quickly rejected the idea from a group of helicopters, since these lights were, in fact, completely stationary.
They didn't move, and no sound came from them. I assumed that I was too far away from the object to hear any sounds. I looked at the light for 5-10 seconds, watching for any movement, and could not detect it.
Then I turned around! far away from the object and looked around in the sky, deliberately trying not to look at the object. I found the object again, still in the same place, motionless. It was then that I called my wife to come and see this object. My wife was busy with something else, and by the time she went out on the balcony, the light just disappeared while I was looking at them.
It was as if someone had turned off a switch, as if they had turned off the light in the room. It's gone!
I don't understand how and where these lights came from. I can only say that they were real, and not some transparent reflection of an ordinary object, which I took for something inexplicable. My immediate impression was of a helicopter or some kind of military aircraft, which I rejected.
Then I thought that it could be some kind of marine navigation device, such as a channel marker, which I also rejected. I had the feeling that these lights were "watching" us, as I was looking at them.

Summary: June 29, 2009 approximately 19:30 hours. On a cruise ship departed from Miami Fl, off the coast of Puerto Rico. My wife and I had returned to our balcony stateroom. I stepped out onto the balcony just to have a look at the ocean and see if there were any other ships around. I did not see any other ships. What I did see were three red lights in the shape of a triangle,one light above 2 below, possibly 1-2 miles away, in the sky, probably 15 to 20 degrees above the horizon. The sky was clear with scattered clouds. At first I thought these three red lights were some sort of helicopter formation.I am an Air Force veteran, I quickly dismissed the helicopter formation as these light were, infact, perfectly stationary. They made no movement and there was no sound coming from them. I assumed that I was too far from the object to hear any sound anyway.I looked at the lights for maybe 5 to 10 seconds, watching for any movement and could not detect any. Next, I turned a! way from the object and looked around the sky , deliberately trying not to view the object. I once again found the object, still in the same location, unmoving. It was at that point that I called for my wife to come see this object. My wife had been occupied with doing something else and by the time she got to the balcony the lights just disappeared as I watched them.Just as though someone turned off a switch, as though turning off a light in a room. Gone! I have no understanding of how or where these lights came from. I can only say that they were real, not some transparent reflection of a common item which I mistook as something unexplanable. My immediate impression was of a helicopter or some sort of military aircraft, which I dismissed. Then I thought it might be some sort of marine navigation device such as a channel marker, which I also dismissed.I then began to get the feeling that these lights were “watching” us as I was watching them.
