UFO seen above the US Virgin Islands.

On January 12th 2020 at 17:59 in St. Thomas, USVI, I saw something I cannot explain. Hovering fairly high was an object that did not seem to move. The object looked like a doughnut, the outside ring was white-ish (almost transparent like a plastic milk carton) and the center was very dark. I could only watch it for a few minutes, as I am a ferry ship captain and was leaving on departure.

As I was boarding my passengers, everyone was looking up at it with amazement. I took 3 videos, and 2 pictures. They were taken on an iphone, and are mostly fuzzy. (I will be emailing you the videos and pictures) There are moments in the videos that are clear and you can pause it and see the object fairly well. While I was captaining the vessel, my crew were watching the object. They said it turned red for a few moments, then disappeared.

I have been a cruise ship captain for over ten years and have never seen anything like this. I have used celestial navigation, and am certain this is not a star or planet.
