A signalling device (2) for indicating, by day or night, the position of a person lost at sea (on land or in space) comprises an elongate brilliantly colored streamer (20) made up of flat, flexible, inherently buoyant material with built-in support struts (46) to keep the material at maximum outstreched surface area. The streamer can be coated with any one or more of the following in any combination: brilliant color, phosphorescent pigment, reflective material, or International Distress Signal indicia. The device may be attached to a life jacket and rolls up into a water-release container (8) secured to the life jacket. Upon deployment, the container converts into a sun-protective, radar-visual reflective, and water catchment hat (26). The streamer is extended manually or automatically and can remain in an outstreched manner indefinitely.
