carabian cruise brings view of three lights in a triangular shape that stay stationary then rapidly move to the east.

I was on carnival cruise ship sensation departing from tampa to cozemel. The second night of the cruiae my friend and I were on the deck and he said he just saw a shooting star but it was very unusual because it didnt have a tail. I didnt think to much of it because it was very clear that night. About five minuts later I looked up and saw three white lights to the south. They formed a triangle. It was very hard to tell how far away it was. They stayed stationary for a few seconds then moved rapidly to the east and went out of sight. Never seem anything like this. has anyone else on this cruise seen the same thing?

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and he sounded quite lucid to us. He actually reports here two separate events. We have invited him to have the witness to the first of the two events submit a report, as well. PD
