Initial data
October 12, 1492, at about 10 o'clock in the evening Columbus had noticed from the ship "Santa Maria" some strange flash. The famous Navigator felt them for a light signal sent from the unknown land. However, historians who have studied documents of the ship "Santa Maria", came to the conclusion that while the sailing ship was from the nearest island Watling 80-85 miles. But at this distance even a burning house is not done.
So mysterious case of interest to naturalists. In the end, they agreed on the opinion of Columbus was attracted by the flicker of large concentrations of one tropical mnohodetnoho worm. In these places it rises to the sea surface regularly in the last quarter of the moon (12 Oct 1492 corresponds to a period). But some experts, given the intensity, color, and pattern of flashes observed by Columbus is credited with the illumination of the other, more mysterious denizens of the sea, including... and intelligent natives of the deep.
