Myself and around 100 other witnesses on a booze/dinner cruise watched a UFO exit the water and shoot out of sight directly beside us. The entire ship was interrogated afterwards.

Exploring the Unexplained: A Firsthand Account of a UFO Encounter During a Dinner Cruise

The phenomenon of unidentified flying objects has long fascinated humanity, inspiring countless theories, investigations, and personal testimonies.
