Doubt anyone was out in the Bering sea that time of year, maybe a whale or walrus. I've only witnessed one fireball, 3 am in the morning and the sky lit up for a few seconds brighter than noon. No sound, though, and it faded away to the north quickly. No reports in the local media, and not a real populous area, so maybe nobody else awake to notice or be sure what it was.

I jus picked this book up at the library

https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1524471873l/38819245.jpg

I think the author is serious scholar
And is adding insightful take on the UFO
Phenomena
Especially about how beliefs build

Actually though I quit reading it
Because the author won’t name sources
Claims of- top secret type info

Which make my
already skeptical outlook
Even more doubtful

Maybe I'll go back into the text
Especially after watching that 60 Minutes program
About radio frequency wave attack on embassies
or whatever going on...

FWIW, Alaska fishing seasons:

Aug. 15 – May 15: Gold King Crab in the Aleutian Islands
Oct. 15 – May 31: Tanner Crab in the Aleutian Islands
Oct. 15 – May 15: Opilio, aka Snow Crab, in the Bering Sea

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.
