A scattering of strange green lights off the coast of Bangkok, captured from the ISS astronaut Reid Wisman. The picture was taken from a height of over 320 km.

"Bangkok is a vibrant city. Have no idea what it is" — expressed surprise, Wisman in your comments to the pictures. Theory of the origin of a mysterious glow ranged from aliens to nuclear wastes and bioluminescent algae. But NASA has a far more ordinary explanation.

The light is focused in the area of the Gulf of Thailand, comes from a variety of bright green led lights used by fishing vessels to attract squid and other marine life.
