And a lot of them were written off as just, you know, drunks, drunk sailors at the bar trying to impress each other with more, you know, better tall tales than someone else had.

So about every 40 years, someone seems to learn about Milky Seas, gets fascinated by the idea, and then builds the best database they could of all the sightings they were able to gather on Milky Seas. And what has happened to all of those previous databases is that they've all been lost in some way.

Not at sea, I hope. The last person to make a database before us, his name was Dr. Peter Herring. And as far as he knows, his database, if it still exists, is just in some unknown archive room in the UK Navy storage somewhere.

Yeah, there are a few accounts in the database. where the best scientific tool someone had to study this was just taking a swig of this strange glowing water out of the ocean and seeing what they could figure out from there. And there's this one account from the early 1800s where the ship's surgeon had heard about this before from sailors in the Middle East.

And they had claimed that the water tasted fresh. And so when he encountered one, he immediately took up a bucket and tasted it himself. And he actually complains in the account that it just tastes like normal seawater.

Yeah. So the main way it differs is kind of what Steve touched on is that it's the function behind why they're bioluminescing. So a firefly, its bioluminescence is sort of like communication of other fireflies. And the more typical bioluminescence you see out in the ocean is caused by this organism called a dinoflagellate. and it glows in response to some kind of shock.

Something nudges it, or it gets inside a crashing wave that's on the shore, and it glows as it's called a burglar alarm response, as sort of a way to tell whatever is trying to eat it, that like, you've been spotted, so you're in danger and you should get away from me.
