REGION: GULF OF MEXICO
AREA/BLOCK: PULLEY RIDGE   949
IMAGE DATE: 10-21-2018
IMAGE TIME: 1603 UTC
DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL2A 
MODE: Multispectral  
RESOLUTION: 10 meter
LOCATION: 25°01'22" N/82°45'22" W
AREA: 0.37 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. It was connected to the known location of the Cudahy Shipwreck and extended south measuring approximately 3.5 NMI long by 0.05 NMI wide. The anomaly showed good contrast with the ocean background, but it should be noted that a strong enhancement was applied to the image in order to see features on the ocean surface. 

UNCERTAINTIES: The full extent of the anomaly was likely longer than reported, but could not be determined due to weather clouds. 

ANALYST: RAMIREZ
