Case File Status: Undetermined \/ Lacks Sufficient Evidence<\/span><\/h3>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

This case was submitted to The Black Vault \/ TBV Investigations on . It was assigned to investigator Paul Wright for analysis.<\/p>\n

Witness Testimony<\/h3>\n

The witness submitted the following report:<\/p>\n

“Off the Cayman Islands on cruise. 30 to 40 fireball like ufos. It looked as if the closest one had spinning like wings or rotors. No sound.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Analysis<\/h3>\n

By Paul Wright, TBV Investigations<\/p>\n

With the lack of video \/ photo evidence and no further contact with the witness since initial report submission, I will attempt to identify what the witnesses observed based on the following facts along with the witness statement.<\/p>\n

I have created a visual representation based on the witness\u2019 testimony, listed above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stellerium was used for the night sky around the Cayman Islands on the 24\/05\/2018 at 02:00 AM.  4 views were taken into account as an approximate location was unknown during the sighting.<\/p>\n

 <\/h3>\n

As the location was unknown for the witness during the sighting just an aerial view of the Cayman Islands was used.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

Based on the witness description and lack of sufficient evidence I am unable to make a solid conclusion. Case incomplete \/ unidentified.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
