SkyMaster Posted October 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Looks like a relatively sophisticated aircraft to me. Wish I'd been there to see this one myself. Can't wait to hear what the official explanation is going to be. :eek: "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pghsteelerfan Posted October 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Drone??? That would be my guess. Edited October 12, 2014 by pghsteelerfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus Posted October 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2014 They were in Key West, very easily could have been a drone or a custom built quad copter. It looks more like the later. As for military testing, last year I was on a cruise from New York to Port Canaveral and I saw several military jets flying maneuvers overhead while we were off the east coast. It was actually kind of cool to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uffdafla Posted October 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Would think that if they were testing a new military design would do it out west where it couldnt be seen. I know of a Florida private contractor to the military that tests drones from the panhandle to the keys out in the Gulf. They ordered top of the line product.

RuthlessBoss Posted October 12, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2014 What looks like fake to you? The details of the "aircraft" were way too clear. The outline of it was too crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchris1230 Posted October 13, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Probably a drone, those things are everywhere now it seems Sent from my HTC One using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonneville02 Posted October 13, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If this thing flew over a cruise ship, why is there only one video clip? I am assuming that this unnamed ship was full of passengers, all on vacation. People bring cameras on vacation, so why did we not see several different clips of the event?

benefactr Posted October 13, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Definitely a drone, you can see the 4 blade compartments. Maybe Carnival getting some aerial shots for a new video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, thought it was suspicious that they never name the ship, and that there are no other videos of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted October 13, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We were on our way to cozumel and there was an aircraft carrier off in he distance. A fighter jet buzzed us, very close, right directly over us. They were out flying maneuvers. Still don't know if it was US or Cuba or someone else. It was pretty cool to see. Could have waved to the pilot if he wasn't going so fast. 🐦 I think the ufo is a drone also. Hard to know how big it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khrivnak Posted October 13, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I was on the Liberty, getting off 10/11. We had a fighter jet buzz the ship at a fairly low altitude when we were waiting to debark. I would think this was some kind of military exercise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the carrier and the jets flying near and over the cruise ship, along with a few helicopters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted October 13, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Someone was so angry they could see nothing through the Carnival "binoculars" which were once a Platinum gift, they threw it up in the air and got this picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotten some very useful gifts from carnival over the years but the binoculars were not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted October 13, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Cuba doesn't have carriers and almost no air force I think they were referring to the plane that buzzed them not the aircraft carrier. Surprised that they allowed the cruise ship to get close enough to see the carrier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 13, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm thinking the carrier was a good 10 miles distant. Not any escorts which I thought was odd. At least no "visible" ones :) But, friendly waters and a carrier has more than enough armament to handle itself these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
