Popular Post seeder Posted August 26, 2014 Popular Post #1 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Mystery glow over the Pacific Ocean: Pilots left baffled by strange orange and red lights spotted in the dead of night Strange lights have been spotted near the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka The sighting was made by pilots flying from Hong Kong to Alaska The glow came about 20 minutes after a vertical lightning bolt was seen Dutch pilot van Heijst ruled out squid-fishing-boats as the origin He says the cause may have been an underwater volcano An ongoing investigation is taking place to find out what happened Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst explained on PBase how, five hours into the ten-hour flight, they spotted an intense flash of light like a lightning bolt, directed vertically up in the distance. This was then followed by a deep red and orange glow 20 minutes later. And the experience left van Heijst somewhat perturbed, owing to the lack of an explanation for what happened. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2734573/Mystery-glow-Pacific-Ocean-Pilots-left-baffled-strange-orange-red-lights-spotted-dead-night.html#ixzz3BVp7S0Wi 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StRoostifer Posted August 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This planet is truly amazing. I think that given the location of the plane inside the ring of fire, the volcano idea is a pretty good place to start. I'm looking forward to seeing what the investigation turns up on this. Thanks for posting this, it was a very interesting read. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted August 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Underwater volcano is the first thing I thought of also. Pictures are amazing. A true Unexplained Mystery at this point. Edited August 26, 2014 by DieChecker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted August 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Curious. The military exploded a hypersonic weapon test vehicle a minute or so after launch after detecting an anomaly from their Kodiak test facility at 4AM local time on the 25th. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted August 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2014 A volcano seems like a good candidate except for one thing, Any lava that bright near the sea surface would be belching steam and ash from the sea surface, I see none in the photos. This one really is a mystery. I think you can rule out bioluminescent, most sea organisms produce green light and it's rather dim by comparison. Perhaps lightning set off some methane gas bubbling up from the sea floor, but that supposedly has a blue flame. Very creepy when you see the photos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted August 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Reminds me of a book called Out of the Deeps, by John Wyndham. It's about an alien aquatic race that begins colonizing out deep ocean trenches and comes into conflict with the land dwelling humans they had hitherto been unaware of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted August 26, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The idea of a volcano seems off because of the size of the area that glows. That would be a pretty big volcano. You'd think such a large flow would be registered by seismic stations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundew Posted August 27, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Pilots see the craziest sh!t If these are real photos and not some publicity/photo-shopped stunt, this really is a spectacular mystery. The article indicated the pilots were freaked out about the flight after seeing this, all I can say is, no kidding! I would have been freaked out for sure if I looked out the plane's window and saw that light show in the middle of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted August 27, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 27, 2014 There are some strange occurrences happening world wide atm......much unsettlement. If this article is above board, it will be interesting to see what the investigation brings to light. At this point, I'll go with the possible undersea volcano. Good article...

My cousin works there shuttling visiting VIPs back and forth. TVA is getting a brand new reactor at Watts Bar assembled, and The University of Tennesse is few miles down the road.

+Hammerclaw Posted August 27, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah! that is curious....possible connection, maybe? I don't know if the timelines coincide. Could explain the vertical flash of light they saw on the horizon, twenty minutes before spotting the glowing suboceanic phenomena. I can't make a rational connection between the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
