Glowing, bright blue phenomenon off Australia's coast seen in stunning images

The rare event -- occurring when very tiny organisms sometimes called "sea sparkle" start to glow when they're disturbed -- happens only once or twice a year.
Jordan Robin, 26, was fortunate enough to catch the wonder of nature, which can be seen in images released by SWNS.

"The video shows me moving my hand through the water causing the algae to glow a very bright blue," Robin told SWNS.
