Cook Islands

"The Diary of Andrew Bloxam"(In 1824 he was appointed naturalist on Board HMS Blonde), published in 1825, there is a record:

"Today, August 12, 1825, at about 3.30 am the night watch on deck suddenly froze in amazement: everything around them was ablaze with light. Looking eastward, they saw a round luminous body raised at an angle of 7° from the water to the clouds, then dropped out of sight. The same pattern repeated itself again. The body color was red-hot cannonballs and size resembled the Sun. It radiated such strong light that on deck could find a needle."
