Rectangle over Atlantic Ocean (240 miles E of FL), -

The report, as filed

During an ocean crossing from Bermuda to Florida.. 4:30 am 240 miles away from the Bahamas it was a flat calm night. The moon had gone over the horizon so it was pitch black other then the boats bright light facing forward. The light gave us around 50 feet of visibility ahead of us. We were cruising at 10 knots. An orange glowing rectangle about the size of a refrigerator appeared just outside of the boats light. This object was hovering over the water around 5-10 feet. Created no wake and was silent. We turned off the boats light and sure enough it was illuminated, we could see the sharp right angles very clearly! This thing was close!! We turned the light back on and the object took off out of site In front of the boat. This left everyone confused.. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
