Text from the book, The Complete Books of Charles Fort:
“05-15-1879
Report to the Admiralty by Capt. Evans, the
Hydrographer of the British Navy:
That Commander J. E. Pringle, of H. M. S. Vulture, had
reported that, at Lat. 26° 26' N., and Long. 53° 11’ E.--in the Persian Gulf --May 15, 1879, he had noticed luminous
waves or pulsations in the water, moving at great speed (emphasis by
waterufo.net). This time we have a definite datum upon origin somewhere below
the surface. It is said that these waves of light passed under the Vulture. ‘On
looking toward the east, the appearance was that of a revolving wheel with a
center on that bearing, and whose spokes were illuminated (emphasis by
waterufo.net), and, looking toward the west, a similar wheel appeared to be
revolving, but in the opposite direction.’ Or finally as to submergence—‘These
waves of light extended from the surface well under the water.’ It is Commander
Pringle’s opinion that the shafts constituted one wheel, and that doubling was
an illusion. He judges the shafts to have been about 25 feet broad, and the
spaces about 100. Velocity about 84 miles an hour. Duration about 35 minutes.”
