The report, as filed
while fishing offshore I saw unusual rectangle shaped silver/gray cloud, then 2 teardrop shaped clouds dropped down from each bottom corner of rectangle. then vortex shaped cloud shot up from center top of rectangle cloud with star like object on top of vortex. vortex was spinning in clockwise motion. vortex remained, but object at top disappeared. then large cloud of vapor or mist erupted from the face of the rectangle for about 1 minuet. vapor stopped coming out of rectangle, but vapor remained in place. perceived movement in vortex from top to bottom. lasted several minuets. craft rode up thru vortex and about 150 to 200 feet above vortex. craft turned north, then west and then south southwest. portal disappeared, but vapor and the two teardrop shaped clouds remained. craft had arrowhead type appearance on nose, back part of craft cylinder shaped. about three fourths the length of 747. nose of craft morphed into same shape as rear so all was cylinder shape. bottom of portal never touched the ocean, and was about 50 to 75 feet above surface. after event ended I had a feeling of peace and calmness like nothing I ever felt. that night my teeth were very sensitive to hot (not spicy) food-first time that happened.
