THE MARINE LIGHTWHEEL PHENOMENON THE MARINE LIGHTWHEEL PHENOMENON In April 2009, fifty crewmembers of a US Navy ship witnessed a spectacular light show at sea involving bioluminescent organisms agitated in response to energy discharges that appeared as spiralling electromagnetic vortices. Awesome Eyewitness Reports from the USS Milius in the Arabian Gulf n the morning of 12 April 2009, | was amazed to receive the following email from the Commander of the US guided missile destroyer USS Milius (see figure 1), on deployment in the Arabian Gulf (also known as the Persian Gulf): "Hello, "lam the Commanding Officer of a US Navy ship currently deployed in the Arabian Gulf. On the 11th of April, 2009, we witnessed the Lightwhee phenomena [sic]. It was incredible! In our efforts to figure out what we witnessed, one of our sailors located your report on the Internet. Thanks!” The Commander went on to say that 50 of his crew had been astounded and stunned to witness an “incredible”, enormous and lengthy occurrence o the Marine Lightwheel phenomenon,'*** though at the time they hadn' realised what it was that they were seeing. This report came to me under nearly the same circumstances as another spectacular sighting of this same phenomenon—one that is little-known, bu is “mythic” among those who have heard of it. This sighting, in May 2007 in the Strait of Hormuz, was from another US Navy ship. Several astonished crewmembers did Internet searches immediately after their experiences, attempting to learn the nature of the incredible geometric "light show” they'd witnessed which spanned the sea to the horizon. They found my articles and email address and then contacted me to report the event. Soon afterwards, I wrote and tried to disseminate an article documenting this sighting.’ On the morning of 12 April 2009, as had been the case in May 2007, one o the crew of the USS Milius searched the Internet, found my published writings on the Marine Lightwheel phenomenon and emailed me. The crewmember said that my articles describe exactly what they had seen, and that they then understood that an incredible Marine Lightwheel event was what they had witnessed. The ship's Commander sent the first enquiring email, which I immediately replied to, and that was followed shortly afterwards with his and other witnesses’ accounts, including a full report o the event by the ship's Navigator. The first article that | wrote about this exotic phenomenon was published in NEXUS in 1997 [vol. 4, no. 3], and since then I've received a handful o additional sightings reports that were not in the records when | firs researched and wrote about the subject. Some reports were actually brough to my attention as a result of the article's publication, and some followed my discussing the subject on widely broadcast radio programs on which my husband and research partner, Ed Sherwood, were guests. Some of these sightings are documented in my previous articles (see endnotes) and are mainly from single or double witnesses. None of those few sightings had occurred more recently than 1997.
