ScienceDailyWith new database researchers may be able to predict rare milky seas bioluminescent, glowing eventMilky seas are a rare bioluminescent phenomenon where vast areas of the ocean glow at night, sometimes for months. This glow, likely caused by Vibrio harveyi bacteria, has been reported by sailors for centuries but remains poorly understood due to its rarity and remote locations, mainly in the Indian Ocean. Researchers have compiled a 400-year database of sightings, using historical records and satellite data, revealing that milky seas are linked to climatic patterns like the Indian Ocean Dipole and El Nino.

Wow, #fortean people, I haven’t thought of those books for years, but I remember them well. Found something on your page about Big Cat sightings in Suffolk. Do you all remember the Russian air controller’s weird experience with a bogey on their screens and hearing ‘a noise like cats’. I believe it was on YouTube in 2011. May still be there.

I saw my first ever Brocken Spectre yesterday! I was flying, & out of the window as we descended was a grey aircraft that was shadowing us, occasionally visible through the clouds & surrounded by a rainbow halo. The Brocken Spectre, a phenomenon of light and moisture, has been responsible for mountaineers thinking they are seeing outsize, mysterious human figures on nearby peaks, & is likely behind untold myths of ghosts & giants.
