strangely enough It only happened once....we were moving after darkness to our night spot.  Too dark and almost too close to the guy in front.....i dont know who it was, could have been me, we noticed leaves on the ground that were glowing in darkness much like a luminous watch.....so presto, we all grabbed one and put securely on our helmet cover holder........it worked very well.....
never saw that happen again....

Something similar happened one very dark night while I was on river patrol on the Anton River.  We took small arms fire from an island, so we headed straight for the island at full throttle returning fire. Our wake began glowing a strange luminous purple-green color.  It was weird.  I later found out it was caused by phosphorescent algae which would glow when agitated.

i was trying to think as to where we were ....had to dig deeeep and my best guess is it was near Million Dollar Hill...and im guessing your explaination is probably applicable to our situation.....the life cycle of leaves(?) but whats weird is that it only happened that once spot and only once.

my next you wont believe this story will about what we called 'flying monkeys" on LZ Mellon (only)
