Watch: Eerie Glowing USO Spotted by Research Vessel in Gulf of Mexico

Group Of Scientist Witness A USO That Was Also Picked Up On Satellite Imagery In The Gulf of Mexico.

I made two mistakes that i want to clarify:
It was not being picked up on "Sonar not radar"
USO stand for Unidentified submerged object
The witness stated the following "I work on a research vessel. Recently we had a trip, studying bioluminescence in the Gulf of Mexico. Around 2345, we were conducting research as normal, when a science party member saw a strange light about a quarter mile off our stern.
We immediately started to make way towards the light. The intensity of the light was quite astonishing, nobody in the crew or the science party knew what to make of it. At first, we thought it could have been a sunken vessel, or a navigation buoy of some kind that sunk.
We proceeded to get as close as possible to the light, and eventually we hovered directly on top of it. Our vessel has a moonpool in the center, which the crew and science party were able to carefully observe the light from directly on top.
We used a sub-surface camera to attempt and capture what the object may have been. The science party onboard automatically ruled out the light being produced by bioluminescent phytoplankton.
This light source was 100% on the bottom of the ocean, and not something that was floating through the water column. It did not move in the current. The water depth at this specific location was 60’ deep. As we hovered on top of the light, we used an EK-80 ( sonar ) to provide us with imagining of the ocean floor at this location.
To our surprise, this object producing the light did not have a physical shape that we could detect. It was invisible to our sonar. The sonar is also capable of imaging objects that are below the sea floor ( objects that could be partially submerged in the mud ), and objects that could be as small as 3’ in length/ width.
TLDR: Saw a very bright light source shining from the ocean floor, was invisible on our sonar. Object had no physical shape but produced a strong light."
He also added:
When the boat gets chartered out by scientists, they provide all the gear. The mission of this trip was to study bioluminescence. So naturally, they bring cameras and equipment to photograph bioluminescence at the surface. The vessel is not equipped with anything more than whatever the scientists decide to bring. Dropping a traditional camera in the water, without the correct protective housing, would cause the camera to break. ( we did not have any gear to send down a camera 60’)
The most logical explanation at first, would be bioluminescence. According to the PhD chief scientist, he immediately declared it was not bioluminescence after viewing the object using the camera equipment that was attached to the ship.
Let me throw in a personal opinion, that is not based off of fact. Ok, let’s say it was bioluminescence for sake of argument. I want to know, how was the luminosity of it so bright that we saw it from over 1000 feet away, + 60 feet down. Especially after making the deduction that the object was more than likely sitting on the ocean floor, and why wasn’t it moving with the ocean currents? It appeared as it was anchored, or stationary in one position.

An intriguing piece of footage circulating online purportedly shows an eerie glowing object that a research vessel spotted submerged in the Gulf of Mexico. The puzzling encounter is said to have unfolded in late February and came to light this week by way of an individual who shared a detailed account of the incident on Reddit. According to the witness, who claimed to be a worker on the vessel, the ship had been "chartered by a group of scientists from a college in Florida" for the purpose of "studying bioluminescence." During the excursion, the researchers noticed an unusual glow off in the distance and headed out toward the illumination for a closer look.
The vessel eventually reached the mysterious glow and "hovered directly on top of it," however the scientists observing the oddity were flummoxed as to what it could have been. That said, the witness noted that they quickly ruled out "bioluminescent phytoplankton" as the source of the illumination. The worker went on to indicate that the deployment of an underwater camera proved futile as "this object producing the light did not have a physical shape that we could detect" and it was also "invisible to our sonar." Based on the stationary nature of the illumination, they surmised that it must have been sitting "on the bottom of the ocean" at a depth of around 60 feet.
After several hours trying to decipher the nature of the object for several hours, the witness said, the scientists eventually ventured off to a different site, though the illumination was still visible as they departed the scene. Lending credence to their fantastic account, the worker shared a handful of videos and photos (seen above) that were said to have been taken during the alleged incident. Ultimately, the witness asserted that the researchers could not explain the curious glow, though one imagines that skeptics will suggest that the USO might have been the light from a downed vessel or buoy.
