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.

Whereas with this Vibrio harvey that we think is behind it, it's glowing actually not to scare away predators, but to attract predators intentionally.

Yeah, I have a couple different emotions about that actually. Ben Franklin actually has a letter he wrote to a friend of his in the 1750s where he was complaining how he had carried all these experiments to prove that it was actually electricity and lightning in the ocean causing bioluminescence, but actually he has come to the conclusion that it's just some unknown living being we can't see.

Captain Newland, 20 years later, sort of in that same, I guess, scientific discourse, comes to the same conclusion about Milky Seas. And I'm just kind of impressed that they were able to sort of really narrow it down that well back then And then the fact that we still haven't been able to come that much further since then is kind of...

It's a little depressing and shows just kind of how hard it is to actually study this.

Yeah, I guess something that has kind of come up in our research on Milky Seas, there's others like rare forms of bioluminescence that happen out in the middle of the ocean that are both... equally as not understood, and as well as just, there really isn't any documentation on them. And trying to understand, driving into more of those. Wow.
