Too bad they didn’t use one of the many drones oil rigs have on hand to get a closer look.

Dude... it is an offshore rig in Brazil.

They have a good week when the helo brings them food.

Drones.... LOL

Any one bother to research lights being used by commercial fisherman to attract fish.

I did....

www.researchgate.net...

I know the doom porn alien invasion is a popular go to here on this forum; invariably it's a more mundane answer.

Ummm…. No doom porn.

I said I thought it was sun through clouds in my OP.

I’m posting it as people enjoy these Fortean events. This one is brand new from May 25 of this year.



Edit: just noticed I deleted the link in my op somehow when I was making it. Here is the Coast to Coast AM link

Yea it is great how everyone swears they know their water lights and can say for sure that it is nothing special. Well, at the risk of being unpopular, these are seamen (tee hee) who know their stuff too and spend their entire working lives seeing mundane things and we should trust them to identify something strange. They may speak another language, but they are just as intelligent as we are.

Oh... So you're suggesting it reflect off of an upper layer of clouds and then passes trough a hole in the lower layer, ok that's actually not that improbable. I like the idea, could fit what we see here.

1) magnesium burns underwater
2) magnesium burns white
3) that's my guess

looks like a high angle sun spot created by a hole in the cloud cover than being filled in by and out of more clouds

why not show the sky

a reply to: randomuser2034
That luminous phenomenon happens in Tampa Bay every so often as well, however it does not explain the OP video at all. The only times I have ever seen that luminous effect in Tampa Bay is the dead of night, not even the moon was out.

It could just be where there is a single hole in the clouds in the sky right over that spot, but that sure is odd for the way the sun is already set so I cannot explain it. It just honestly does not appear to be from underwater at all. It would have to be one of the most intense artificial light sources ever made to be visible from the distance you see at that intensity underwater.

I am not a scientist, so my personal belief is light from a hole in the clouds or reflection off a cloud.

Plankton perhaps...

Thats originally what I was thinking, maybe bioluminescent creatures or something like that. But the color is wrong. I'm thinking the people who say its the sun reflecting off the clouds probably have the right answer.

We have those glow in the dark plankton here out on the coast, and one night I went out to play in it. It was weird and beautiful.

It's called Algae bloom.

The dialogue sounds possibly hoaxie to fit the scene…imo…to what could be a regular operation.

The only thing I can say about the dialogue is that the translation is correct.

We don't know if they are seamen or not, we only know that they filmed the event.

I speak the same language they do, although I speak the European version.

An algae bloom as posted in these pages would not be visible at that distance, in that time of day.

To me this reminds of Fravor tic tac encounter...

"..Two U.S. navy fighter pilots say they were investigating a sensor anomaly off the coast of San Diego in 2004 when they saw something they couldn’t explain: a churning patch of white water on the ocean’s surface and a “Tic Tac looking object” that appeared to be hovering without propulsion.

The object was “just kind of moving above the white water area,” former U.S. navy commander Dave Fravor told CBS’s 60 Minutes."

Meaning it could be a vessel just below water surface emitting beams controlling tic tacs....on that video tic tacs could be above the clouds.

My 2 cents.

As far as I understand it, the expression "white water" is used as meaning agitated water, water with foam, usually because of it being shallow.

But, obviously, I may be wrong.

What is the european version of portuguese reply to: ArMaP

a reply to: whereisdagan

Portuguese from Portugal, the original source of the language.

In Brazil they also speak Portuguese, but with some differences.

Absolutely you are right.
To me that thing on the water does not look like a glow. More like a disturbance. Too far to tell thought.
It also could be some abandoned hole that was drilled years ago releasing some left over gas packets to the surface.
