This was just posted on Hacker News and I thought it was interesting. Thoughts on what it could have been?

In about 2007, flying from Europe to the US, between Iceland and the US, I saw a huge red-yellow glowing object in the ocean from at least 30,000 ft. Never knew what it was.

Flying over/on a thin layer of cirrus clouds, aircraft rotating red position light illuminating the cloud deck. I’ve seen this myself.

Multiple lights? Over a populated area, not where he said he was.

Pilot thought it would be cool to post and see what people come up with.

Wow is this interesting.

Years ago, when listening to one of Art Bell’s call in shows about UFO’s (credibility sinking here, but hold on) a guy called in who was stationed on a Navy ship. One of those big ones.

He said the men on top of the ship with him and he all saw a light far off, deep down in the sea. It came up and out of the water and rose up into the night sky.

His Commanding officer called the ones who saw it in, spoke to them and told them never to speak of it, ever, to anyone. To forget what they saw and not to inquire further about it.

He felt, now it was years later and he was anonymous on a radio that would be alright.

On August 26, 1883, Krakatoa exploded. Before it went, the sea in its vicinity was said to have turned bright red.

I believe this was even part of the movie Krakatoa, East of Java (1969).
