Undertoad Sunday Nov 6 05:04 AM11/6/2005: "Glowing water" in satellite image

Via Fark comes this NPR item which covers a really wild "earth at night" type image.
In this shot, which is pretty cool to start, you notice a bluish piece of snot at the lower right, off the coast of Africa. That goober is not a mistake by the photographer. It's glowing water. "...about the size of Connecticut, and researchers think billions of glowing bacteria are the source."
Whoa!
Wormfood Sunday Nov 6 06:44 AMNah.. some poor country dumping radioactive waste inte the sea.
And what have they poured into the nile... 
xoxoxoBruce Sunday Nov 6 12:39 PMPoor countries can't afford radioactive waste.
I'm guessing it's Academy Award Night in Atlantis.
slang Sunday Nov 6 02:42 PMMy guess is.....
Aliens.
ET type aliens. 
seakdivers Sunday Nov 6 02:46 PMSlang - you beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing!
wolf Sunday Nov 6 02:56 PMNah. I think it's the Predator kind of aliens. The shiny, glowy thing is bait.
Trilby Sunday Nov 6 02:59 PMIt doesn't look like a goober to me. It looks like a completely different kind of stain.
Happy Monkey Sunday Nov 6 03:06 PMI think Abyss aliens are the most likely culprits.
