The condition has been the stuff of [[mariner]]'s tales for centuries – notably appearing in chapter 24 of [[Jules Verne]]'s ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' – but until recently it has not been scientifically documented.
 
In 2005, Steven D. Miller of the [[Naval Research Laboratory]] in [[Monterey]], [[Calif]]. began research into the phenomenon. His team found only one well-documented occurrence, off the Somali coast on Jan. 25, 1995. [[Satellite images]] collected at the same time and location by the U.S. [[Defense Meteorological Satellite Program]] also showed a milky white area aprox. 15,400-km2 km² (roughly the size of the US state of Connecticut), lending truth to the stories.
The luminescent field was observed to glow over three consecutive nights.
