Peter H Nixon (Emeritus Professor of Geology, Leeds University Retd. Discovered Letseng diamond mine in Lesotho in 1957, source of some of the worlds largest and most valuable diamonds. Also an outstanding academic credited with two key publications, 'Lesotho Kimberlites' 1973, and 'Mantle Xenoliths' 1987. 'Scientifically Important' collection of rocks donated to the Natural History Museum 1994. 'Nixonite', newly discovered mineral named after him in 2019. Still exploring potential mineral deposits in Sutherland.

Could be biology related instead. A very rare luminous phenomenon occurring most often in the Indian Ocean observations made by many credible sources including in many navy logbooks. Still a frontier of science like so many luminous phenomena sadly but hopefully more research to come soon. Appearance is usually a glowing spinning wheel at the ocean surface with distinctive bands. Sometimes multiple ones are observed. The most popular theory right now is some kind of bioluminesecent animal but why they would perform this behaviour is still unknown.
