"Randomness is still a mystery, it is not the presence of data that will solve this mystery, it is the absence of data."
Well surmised. The ancient philosophers and natural magicians usually set fire to the haystack to 'find' a needle, versus actively searching through all the straws. It is the handling of that fire we seem to have lost with time and comfort. Your mind has obviously already been changed in a vital alchemical process based on the 'event' or 'encounter' itself. Perhaps that is everything that was desired on the ship that night. Everyone aboard who 'experienced' the 'phenomenon' will carry this substance the remainder of their life. Perhaps you can see it as a form of seeding. Perhaps it was there for the seemingly simple purpose... of being observed. Take care
