Via Fark comes this NPR item which covers a really wild "earth at night" type image.

In this shot, which is pretty cool to start, you notice a bluish piece of snot at the lower right, off the coast of Africa. That goober is not a mistake by the photographer. It's glowing water. "...about the size of Connecticut, and researchers think billions of glowing bacteria are the source."

Whoa!

Poor countries can't afford radioactive waste. :D
I'm guessing it's Academy Award Night in Atlantis.

Slang - you beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing!

Nah. I think it's the Predator kind of aliens. The shiny, glowy thing is bait.

It doesn't look like a goober to me. It looks like a completely different kind of stain.

I think Abyss aliens are the most likely culprits.
