A listener writes “Dear Wes, I am writing to you as I’m hoping that you or your listeners can help me make sense of a ‘UFO’ that I saw while on a Mediterranean cruise. I say ‘UFO’ but it might turn out to be something explainable but until it does it’s ‘unidentified’.
This took place on 5th August 2022 as the ship was approaching Naples. I know this because it is documented on my FB page. I was on the Celebrity Silhouette cruising the Med. I was awake very early, about 5am, and was sitting on the balcony so as not to disturb my sleeping husband. In the distance I saw what I at first thought was an airplane taking off vertically with the sun reflecting off of it. I thought ‘that’s strange’ and carried on watching it. It was gradually gliding towards the ship on a horizontal trajectory so it started off in front of me but as it approached it was veering towards the back of the ship. It’s hard to describe what I saw but I’ll do my best.
It was white, long and thin, slightly curved over at the top and bottom like a car bumper hung in the air. It had two lights at the top, two lights in the middle and two lights at the bottom. The lights were like car headlights. There wasn’t much depth to it and I initially thought it was about twelve feet long but on reflection I think it was much bigger as size can be deceiving when you’re looking from a big ship. As it approached I went to get my phone or binoculars, can’t remember which. When I returned to the balcony I was just in time to see it sink into the sea alongside the ship. And then it was gone. I was stunned and totally unsure of what I’d seen. For confirmation I put a post on the ‘Celebrity Silhouette 30th July 2022’ FaceBook group chat. I posted ‘ Did anyone else see that weird drone-like thing this morning off the port side?’. One person replied with a picture of a green alien and another replied as follows; Him: Yes I did, looked very strange, To which I replied; I’m so glad you did too!
If I was the only one I would start to doubt what I saw’. Him: It was a bit X-files’. This goes to show that my thinking of what this was was in keeping with the other witnesses. When I got home I googled drones to try and identify what I’d seen but couldn’t find anything like it. My daughter did find on instagram a similar UFO over the sea but I can’t find it now. In February 2023 Canada shot down a UFO that had violated their airspace. It was described as ‘ unmanned with no discernable means of propulsion’. Oh my God! It made me realise what I had seen was unmanned with no visible means of propulsion!. How was it moving? It couldn’t have been a drone. If it was a drone who was operating it out in the ocean? As you can see I only have questions, no answers. It torments me daily!!
Please can you ask your listeners and associates if they have a logical explanation for what I saw? I would be so grateful to be able to identify my UFO.
Love your show. We are regular visitors to Alaska, British Columbia and the PNW so love to listen to the Bigfoot accounts. Keep them coming!”

First this seems, listener, to be a classic UFO,USO, event you witnessed when it entered the water. I was not there so this is all I can say. As to the Canadians shooting down a UFO, this was nothing more than a balloon that the Canadians shot down in response a few days after the famous Chinese Spy and intelligence gathering balloon circumvented from Alaska down to the U S and over ballistic missle sites and then across the entire United States, until it was shot down off the Carolina Coast, I believe.
