I think I might have seen this myself.

I was sailing in a race half way around Ireland (Dun laoghire to Dingle), which takes 2-3 days. We were coming into Dingle at about 4am with hardly any wind, and heavy wind the previous evening had got me out of bed early.

There's a famous dolphin in Dingle, and I distinctly remember a glowing green dolphin shape appearing a few times, swimming along with the boat. However, in the state we were in, our reactions and motivation were so low that I never managed to call it out to the others in time.

So either I was the only one to see the glowing green outline of an otherwise invisible dolphin, or I was enjoying a pleasant side-effect of sleep deprivation. Either way it was really really cool.
