I took some pictures with my new Brookstone CaptureView of some boats over the water, the next day 2 were not boats.

I was camping testing out my new brookstone CaptureView Binoculars, and I was snapping some shots of boats over the water when I noticed two boats had soart of been rocking back in forth in the same place for a long time. I figured they were boats so I snapped some pics of the two little lights. The next day I plugged my camera into the computer and the first 2 pictures on the camera were tiny spheres!...at first the picture looked black and that it didnt work, but I blew it up a few times and saw what looks like a sphere being lit from the right side.

I stayed up and watched for awhile but the clouds were rolling in and lights werent doing much of anything, I wonder if the other boats saw them, or if maybe the camera/binoculars made the light look like that and it was just a shrimp boat or something?
