Default Mystery Ocean Glow Confirmed

This is weird....

LiveScience Managing Editor

Mariners have long told of rare nighttime events in which the ocean glows intensely as far as the eye can see in all directions. The newly released images show a vast region of the Indian Ocean, about the size of Connecticut, glowing three nights in a row. The luminescence was also spotted from a ship in the area.

Bacteria... Not too hard to believe. There are lots of old sailor's stories about the sea glowing and I've heard of stories, one in particular where a flyer off an aircraft carrier lost his instrument and interior lighting at night and was only able to find his ship because of the glow left from his ship passing through the water. Glowing algi I think that is. This could be something simular I suppose. No ship of course and an awfuly large area but who knows. Tectonic plates shift, (lots of earthquakes lately) disturbing the seawater and causing the algi (or whatever) glow; Electro magnetic shift in the earth causing the same effect; Pollution causing changes in the bacteria, etc. etc. etc; It could happen. Of course, there's always aliens...
