Description:
Paul Stonehill reads the memoirs of Soviet Pacific Fleet captain Vladimir Pavlovich Sherbski. In February 1960, after leaving the Sea of Japan through La Perouse Strait, the commander and his chief of staff saw a light rise from under the stern three times, flooding the boat in a bluish sphere while the sky stayed black; the last flash lasted 35 seconds, and they did not log it.
Stonehill ties similar sea illuminations to cases in Russia's USO Secrets, then follows Sherbski to the Kurils, a stranded barge, scientists who were told not to talk about Bigfoot, and sonar contacts that may have been bowhead whales rather than a US submarine.
