Initial data
Research vessel "Vladimir Vorobiev" carrying out the job Azcherniro was in the Arabian sea.
The chief of flight E. Petrenko was summoned to the bridge's Navigator and is the report pointed to the water. Around the vessel in the radius of 150-200 meters rotated counterclockwise bright white spot, breaking up into eight parts. As if from the action of the propeller blades. The sounder recorded 170 meters of depth, at the same time showing the presence under the keel of a certain mass at a depth of approximately 20 meters.
It happened at 23.30. At 24.00 the rotation of the light spot instantly stopped. Measured the water temperature is normal, plus 26 degrees. Took a sample - trace concentrations of plankton was found. Everything he has seen recorded in the logbook.
What was it? Any other night, nor the next phenomenon was not repeated.

Hypotheses
Luminescence
Luminescence is a non-thermal glow of substance that occurs after absorption of the excitation energy.
Luminescence of solids can be divided into the following types:
Photoluminescence is luminescence under the action of light (visible and UV range). She, in turn, is divided into:
- fluorescence (life time 10-9-10-6 s);
- the phosphorescence of (10-3-10 s);
Chemiluminescence is luminescence that uses the energy of chemical reactions;
Microbes, single-celled algae, phytoplankton, etc.
Most of the microbes produces a white or grayish - white colony, but there are types of microbes that are capable of releasing dyes or pigments of different colors and shades (red, orange, green, yellow, blue, purple).
