REPORT DATE: 04-21-2020 REPORT TIME: 1545 UTC REGION: ATLANTIC SUB REGION: MID ATLANTIC U.S. AREA/BLOCK: North Atlantic 7004 IMAGE DATE: 04-21-2020 IMAGE TIME: 1048 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1B MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV RESOLUTION: 20 meter LOCATION: 40°06'02" N/69°55'03" W AREA: 1.33 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly was believed to be emanating from the known Wreck 1487. The anomaly was approximately 4.31 nm in length and approx. 0.16 nm in width. The dark colored anomaly had low contrast against its surroundings. Winds near the time of the image were coming from the S between 5-10 kts. UNCERTAINTIES: The anomaly was not directly connected to the point source coordinates; it was approx. 1.42 nm WSW from the point source. Due to it's low contrast, the full extent of the anomaly was unknown.
