    Sailor encounters strange phenomenon in Bermuda Triangle

    Sailor encounters strange phenomenon in Bermuda Triangle

    [ranking: 15]
    "During my time in the Navy, we once transited through the Bermuda Triangle at night. Being the Navy, there were plenty of people playing on the whole eerie-ness of our location as it was. But at one point I stepped outside to have a look. It is typically quite dark on a Navy ship in the middle of the ocean at night, so it was quite a shock to see the water actually glowing green where we were. It looked a lot like we were sailing through an ocean full of the chemicals you find in light sticks. It's pretty wild to see, especially in the triangle. I found out later that it was most likely bioluminescence from plankton in the water."

    [ranking: 4]
    "Fog at sea at night really f*cks up your senses. Everything is quiet and you can't see anything but the boat immediately around you. You keep looking for lights on other ships and listening for fog horns or the sound of engines in the distance and your brain starts playing all manner of tricks on you. In a busy shipping lane it's a serious business and in a very real way it could be life or death if you miss a ship that hits you and sinks you. You start to see lights everywhere around you. You start hearing engines creeping up on you. You stop your boat and cut the engine to see if you're hearing anything real and you enter an even stranger world of sensory deprivation. It's eerie as hell."

    Sailor comes across errant suicide in the middle of the ocean

    Sailor comes across errant suicide in the middle of the ocean

    [ranking: 2]
    "I came across a man who'd hung himself on his boat five or six miles off shore about four or five years ago. 
    The eery and truly creepy part was realizing what it was. We just saw a boat out in the middle of ocean's nowhere without anything other than blue horizon in sight, at the break of dawn, and there was fairly thick fog, as it had rained the night before.
     Realizing that the figure hanging from the boom was a man was one of the most haunting things I'll ever see."

    Ocean becomes inexplicably, terminally calm in the middle of the Pacific

    Ocean becomes inexplicably, terminally calm in the middle of the Pacific

    [ranking: 13]
    On the Pacific side of South America - I believe we were off the coast of Peru or Chile, I can't quite remember - I was working night shift, so I was out on the flight deck to watch the sun come up.
    Strangest damn thing I've ever seen. The ocean was dead calm, like a lake. Seriously, no ripples, no waves, just dead calm. Like you found a small pond up in the mountains that was completely undisturbed. The moon was bright in the sky, but there was still a lot of light from it. The moon made it feel all the more eerie. And besides the noise from the ship, it was completely silent. One of the weirdest experiences I've ever felt.

    Unexplained, "unknown lights" just under the surface

    Unexplained, "unknown lights" just under the surface

    [ranking: 7]
    "I am in the US Coast Guard, and I recently was assigned to a ship. I was going through our log books to look up something and noticed that on the bridge an "Unknown Blue Light" was observed beneath the water's surface the night before. This intrigued, me so I started looking through more of the logs. Apparently, every two to three weeks they enter lights of varying colors in places you would not expect. Usually white, red or green lights are on the horizon, or in the sky (ships and aircraft). But they seem to report colored lights under the water, sometimes moving around, sometimes stationary. Lights in the sky moving at extreme speeds then immediately stopping or disappearing altogether.
    Sometimes lights are visible to the naked eye but when we try to look at it with FLIR or night vision they are undetectable."

    [ranking: 12]
    "I was sailing by the coast of Okinawa, when a thunder storm started up in the middle of the night. Strangely, the ocean was completely still and the weather was giving us a wonderful light show. Lightning would strike the water and light up everything around us. Suddenly, lighting struck near our boat and we saw the most incredible sight. Jellyfish. Jellyfish everywhere. There's were not the usual jellyfish that you see around the US, these things were HUGE. The lightning would strike the water, and the jellyfish would light up.
    The ocean literally looked like it glowed purple and red that night."
