We sat there trying to explain it on the moonlight, car headlights etc, but the sky was cloudy and we were well away from street lights and main roads. This spectacle continued for hundreds of yards around the bay, and after much debate, we agreed it must be a swarm of maybe sea algae or other tiny organisms...any ideas?
