William Guy had been traveling on a ferry off North Carolina when he spotted a cluster of strange lights.
The video he captured, which was reportedly filmed over the Pimlico Sound lagoon, shows a total of 14 mysterious lights hovering motionless in the air a few miles out to sea.
"Can anybody tell me what that is?" Guy asks. "We're in the middle of the ocean, on a ferry. There's nothing around, no land, no nothing."
The sighting had seemingly caused a great deal of excitement aboard the vessel as other passengers can also be heard in the background reacting to the peculiar spectacle.
