Ya gotta read the story. It's far more than that but glowing algae would be blue or green and not.... that.
You can't make me believe that this is bioluminescence.

In there he mentioned that "There ARE UFOs - but NOT abductions". They don't know where the UFOs come from but they can speculate. They had no way of understanding much less reverse engineering the craft.
These are all valuable clues.
UFOs don't necessarily mean aliens from outer space. It's just an unknown object from an unknown origin not made by human hands, technology nowhere near understanding that can fly.
I've always speculated.... What if it was an advanced civilization from pre-ancient history? Say 100k years ago. Very little if nothing at all would have survived for us to see any evidence of it today. The pyramids won't last another couple thousand years, as an example. Maybe Mars. Maybe Venus. Maybe some not so far away star (considering the distance of everything else)... Would be pretty cool to know.
I don't know that I believe in "aliens" but I do believe SOMETHING is there. I've seen it with my own eyes. Trusting close family will get angry if you tell them what they seen was BS. I mean, stuff that's not your regular blinking light. One such case close up, only a couple of yards away. I have things I've seen from my youth I can't explain and I've only spoken about them to so few people, I can count them on less than one hand. As the years go by, I hear similar stories with specifics that people who make up stores wouldn't have thought to make up, specific little details that are spoke about so rarely... This is how I know I wasn't imagining things.

now it's Bob Bigelow, wtf? so it was never the real Ibteesam Reaz?
Edit: when I checked, it still had all the answers but it was missing the answer from the op.
Posted this elsewhere in here (replying to someone wondering if this was a real person), but wanted it to be more prominent:
After I posted this last night, I went into a rabbit hole myself. I’m not sure I think he’s real either. I did a reverse image search on the two images that come up in a Google image search on his name. One of them returned a result and I learned its a picture of Ravi Pisharody, a former Tata Motors executive.
The pictures on his LinkedIn and his Quora were different, but they were both pictures of Ravi Pisharody available elsewhere online. The one on his Quora actually had an edited background - the original picture has a gray background, it was edited to make it look he is standing in front of trees.
At any rate, whomever he is, spent years on Quora providing very informed and detailed answers to questions, mostly about anthropology, and only a few times about UFOs. In his edit history, you can still see what questions he ever answered since it shows that he deleted them. If you scroll through his Edits, there are a handful of comments that he did not delete that you can still read. Again, most are about anthropology, but in one still visible comment he mentions being a trained physicist.
As I mentioned, his LinkedIn page also used a picture of Ravi Pisharody. It is now down, but here’s what I remember from it:
Listed as a staff physicist at Lockheed since 2011
Started in this industry at Boeing
Had 4 or 5 other roles before the current one
Attended the University of Michigan either for Masters or PhD
Only has 5 connections
I thought the 5 connections thing was odd at the time. Since it also had a picture that was obviously not him, this profile appears to have been created to lend credence to claim, at least that’s my thought. Obviously if he’s using a fake picture with the name, it’s not a real name...
But here’s the weird part...if you Google “ ‘ibteesam reaz’ wind turbine” you’ll see a link to a thesis on acedemia.edu. I found this before he started scrubbing himself and glanced at it. It was titled “Enhancements to the Tornado-Type Wind Turbine (TTWT)”. It was long and not interesting to me so I didn’t look much past the title page, but it did say “by Ibteesam Reaz” on it and it said it was for the University of Michigan for his degree. The year said either 1984 or 1985, which lined up with the LinkedIn profile.
But now they’ve deleted that PDF from academia.edu. I’ve searched on the University of Michigan’s thesis search engine for a matching one and cannot find one. I also searched a couple different thesis search engines and cannot find one. You can however, still see a blurry version of the cover page to this in the Google Image results.
Them editing a thesis to reflect their fake name seems odd, but again there’s very little chance someone would use their real name with someone else’s pictures, right? And it did appear to be a site that they readily had access to/had uploaded the paper themself since they so quickly and easily took it down - I looked at the PDF about 60-90 minutes before I tried again and it was down, right after I watched him scrub the Quora account.
So, all in all, Ibteesam Reaz is unlikely to be a real name since they were using pictures of someone else. But this person does have a clear demonstrated history on Quora in which they mention being a physicist and in another still visible comment, mentioned knowledge of aircraft test procedures.
So I began to think, maybe this person changed their name some time back on Quora the first time they answered a UFO question. I went back through the edits log, but the furthest back it let’s you go is March of this year. No luck on any name changes between then and now.
At any rate, this is weird and this person is not being honest about their identity.
FYI I have screenshots of a lot of this stuff but don’t have the time to post them at the moment.
