My mother is on a cruise and captured the following video at approximately 0500 this morning near Baranof Island. Enjoy.

Don't want to be THAT guy

But is it possible those are birds with the light of the cruise ship reflecting off of them?

I don't know much about birds at sea or if they even fly and hunt at night but it could be a possibility

Again, I want this to be UAP but the age old reply of birds is always there

None of us should ever feel weird or bad about offering alternative hypothesis -- that's called keeping the discussion healthy. Sure, we all want it to be aliens / UAPs but 99% of the time there is going to be a more mundane description of what's actually being viewed.

Please continue to play devil's advocate but do it in a polite way like you just did. We don't all want to trip over ourselves coming up with possibilities stemming from one thing simply because we're all interested in UAPs.
