Whatever "it" was, it seems to have stopped making trouble. Scientists and journalists argue vehemently about it (business as usual, really), but by 1867 the question seemed settled.
People get to some serious gossiping and speculating. At this point, the big international players-England, the USA, and Germany-are getting pretty worked up. Two weeks and two thousand leagues later there's another incident. This thing, whatever it is, is seriously fast. A couple of days later, another ship observes a similar phenomenon seven hundred nautical leagues away. On July 20, 1866, the Governor Higginson, a steamship, sees something that looks like a strange reef… until it shoots water one hundred and fifty feet up into the air. It was way bigger and faster than any whale, and those who had seen it gave exaggerated reports of it In short, nobody knew anything, really, except that it was giant and quick and scary. It was long and spindle-shaped, and sometimes it even glowed. 
You see, a lot of ships-too many ships-had started to encounter some sort of mysterious thing.Sailors were disturbed, sea captains too, and even the governments of the world started to take notice.Something so weird that there's no question you and everybody else you know still remember it.
