Edit, the guy who sent this said similar things happen just off the coast of the south of the states too.

This happens in the area as well

That would account for the shape of what it was. It does have a glow to it but I think that this has just been over hyped.

Sometimes liquid has a way of amplifying a glow if you're viewing the sunlight hitting the surface at a certain angle. I sometimes see a "bloom" glow off the surface of snow if I'm standing in a certain position.

Standing in a certain position? So you mean you have seen one of these things yourself as well?

No, I mean I've seen the brightness of sunlight amplified off snow if I'm sitting down on the snow. It's so uncomfortably bright that I need to wear sunglasses.

I see. That would explain the flashes. Especially since the rapid flow / quickly changing shape of the water would give a lot of variance in the way we see the light.

Don't forget the way film can also distort color.
