A phenomenon is described that occurs in the Indian Ocean and that has teen
described by several eyewitnesses: a pulsating near-circular disturbance
roughly I, 000-1, 500 feet in diameter is seen with streaks of light like the
beams of a searchlight radiating from its center and revolving counter-
clockwise. Views are given su;>porting speculation that the Podk.amennaya
