Malaysia

In 1973, the sailors of the black sea ship "Anton Makarenko" observed the glowing wheel in the Strait of Malacca.

Approximately 2 hours night duty noticed water spots, taking them for regular illumination of the sea. But suddenly separate spots began to turn into a strip with a width of 10-15 m, radiating from the vessel. Then the ends of the strips bent in one direction, forming a huge wheel, which became faster and faster to rotate counter-clockwise.

After some time, all this light extravaganza split into separate spots, and disappeared.
