While at sea, some of us have seen what could be described as strange Phenomenon at sea.
The green flash at sunset. Yes I've seen it about nine times over the years.
Requires clear air for it to happen. So looking toward a smog hazed horizon, it won't happen.
Water Spouts. In one afternoon saw six of them just east of the delta in the GOM.
Bright green flare (?). In the sea of Cortez seen one. vertically descending. Must have been a meteor.
Dolphins & Porpoises many times. Assorted species.
Sea turtles and a Sun Fish (a Moa). The Sun fish's upper fin looked like a large plank sticking out of the water, until we got close enough to view it in its glory.
Spinning shark. Once in the GOM
A Buoy floating in the middle of the atlantic Ocean. No idea what harbor it once guarded or came from.
Had a crewman report a fire on the horizon. If he had waited a few minutes he would have seen the upper limb of the moon come above the clouds. At that low altitude it appears fire red through the clouds due to smog.
A pod of Orcas feeding on the discards from the fishing vessel that I've captained in the Bering sea. Now that was something.
So what did all of you have seen out there?
