You see all sorts of stuff at sea at night. Could easily be smugglers signal and they went quickly when they saw helicopters. Could be a nutter making a false report , imagining it or misinterpreting what they'd seen.
I'm certain they'd have checked it out properly, and they'd only need to overfly it with a heat seeker to eliminate the presence of humans or large mammals

Not sure if you saw the photos Jimmy, but they were not the trails left by flares. There was a large distance between the trails, and to be honest I'm not sure if the old Saturn 5 rockets would have left a trail as big as those. I have a feeling that photo was a hoax.
