In [[1985]] a research vessel in the [[Arabian Sea]] took water samples during milky seas. Their conclusions were that the effect was caused by the [[bacteria]] ''[[Vibrio harveyi]]''.
 
In [[2005]], Steven Miller of the [[Naval Research Laboratory]] in [[Monterey]], [[California]], was able to match [[1995]] [[Satellite images]] with a first-hand account of a merchant ship. U.S. [[Defense Meteorological Satellite Program]] showed the milky area to be approximately 15,400-km² (roughly the size of the [[Connecticut]]). The luminescent field was observed to glow over three consecutive nights.
 
While monochromatic photos make this effect appear white, [[Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute]] scientist [[Steve Haddock]] (an author of a milky seas effect study) has commented, "the light produced by the bacteria is actually blue, not white. It is white in the graphic because of the monochromatic sensor we used, and it can appear white to the eye because the rods in our eye (used for night vision) don't discriminate color."
