Круги в океане

Since time immemorial, floating in the oceans, sailors meet with phenomena that remain a mystery today. This optical phenomena, or, as he called them academician. Krylov, "ghosts of the ocean" - light formations seen on the surface of the ocean and the atmosphere above it. Reports of these phenomena can be found in the captain's reports, and the records in the ship's log. This message, for example, came on Board the Soviet expedition vessel "Vladimir Vorobiev" during his voyage in the Arabian sea. Performing Oceanographic research, his team suddenly noticed that around the vessel in the radius of 150-200 meters rotated counterclockwise bright white spot, breaking up into eight parts. The sonar recorded depth of 170 meters, at the same time showing the presence under the keel of a certain mass at a depth of approximately 20 meters.

This case interests section of undersea research Oceanographic Commission of the Academy of Sciences. "Additional investigation" showed that in the moment before observation, went down the generator giving power to the trawl winch. And around the vessel were observed strictly recurring outbreaks of some unnatural light. Light ran waves in the form of eight rotating curved beams, resembling the turbine blades. Half an hour later the glow diminished, and the diameter of the wheels was reduced to 80-100 meters. And although you could hear the sound, the crew members felt as if the pressure on the eardrum. Was observed for light waves, giving the impression of vibration of water.

In 1973, the sailors of the black sea ship "Anton Makarenko" saw the glowing wheel in the Strait of Malacca around 2am. Separate light spots suddenly turned into a strip with a width of 10-15 meters, radiating from the vessel. But soon their ends bent in one direction, forming a wheel faster and faster to rotate counter-clockwise. Then the light extravaganza has disappeared.

Give another message. Officers of the British ship "Patna" in the Western part of the Indian ocean noticed two of the glowing circle spinning with surprising coherence, if strung on some kind of axis. They determined a rotation speed of about 160 kilometers per hour, and the diameter of this wheel is about 600 meters.

In early 1973 the French magazine "Sans e VI" reported that the glowing circles in the Indian ocean recorded at least 50 times. Common to these observations was that the glow appeared from the depths, suddenly came to a quick rotation, and then disappeared in the depths.

Strange phenomena are not limited to glowing circles, sometimes they look like glowing orbs. In 1945, the members of the crew of a military transport ship of the United States "Delarof", which made the transition in the northeastern Pacific to the port of Seattle saw a large round object with a diameter, in their estimation, to between 45 and 75 meters, escaped from under the water, and then disappeared in a southerly direction. The same was observed in the Italian coastal waters, where at a distance of about one kilometer from the boat with four observers from the water, creating on the surface of a huge bubble, emerged a dark object...

And here is what the famous marine researcher Jacques Piccard in the book "Depth - seven miles", translated in our country, about immersion bathyscaphe Trieste in the Mariana trench: "10.57. The depth of 700 fathoms (about 1.300 metres), spotted quite a large object with numerous luminous dots".

How can we explain these phenomena?

Professor A. Sanderson, after a vain attempt to give these events a natural interpretation proposes to consider them as the result of the activities of some underwater civilization. But the version about the underwater aliens are no more favorable to the hypothesis about the aliens, as it eliminates the problem of physical essence of the phenomenon. In this embodiment, the solution creates a new mystery.

Closer to the truth of the explanation referred to, in particular, Sanderson, that the basis of the phenomenon lies in the electrical nature, but this is not safe to say about most of the phenomena of class, fireballs, and especially the fire circle.

In relation to the area of the Kuril Islands put forward a hypothesis, according to which dozens of active volcanoes fill the atmosphere with volcanic ash. The interaction of fly ash with atmospheric moisture creates glowing clouds moved by the wind with great speed over the water.

Hy, what about other areas where there are volcanoes? And how to explain the speed faster than the wind and sailing against the wind? It is hardly possible to believe that the fiery circles are formed by a glow of tiny organisms that, lining up in precise circles, need to rotate them for excessive speed over 150 miles per hour. However, Professor Kurt Kalle from Hamburg suggests that the culprit of the glowing wheel is a bioluminescence caused by shock waves, the displacement of the layers on the bottom of the sea. But this hypothesis also does not explain the variety of phenomena.

Man penetrates farther into the depths of space and came close to meeting with the other planets. There is no doubt that their nature is different from the earth and the psyche, and the life of researchers will depend on how they will determine how you will understand the essence of this new. The ocean here could be the testing area where the simulated meeting with the unknown.

A danger to navigation "ghosts of the deep"? To answer exhaustively to this question, one needs to understand their nature. And we must recognize that the answer is not so simple. There is no doubt that the joint efforts of scientists from different countries to study the ocean and atmosphere will allow to lift the veil on the mystery of these phenomena.
