REPORT DATE: 06-24-2022 REPORT TIME: 0030 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: SHIP SHOAL 71 IMAGE DATE: 06-23-2022 IMAGE TIME: 1549 UTC DATA SOURCE: PLANETSCOPE MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 3 meter LOCATION: 28°57'58" N/90°56'14" W AREA: 0.12 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly was measured approx. 1.26 NMI long and 0.06 NMI wide as its widest distance. The anomaly was linear in shape and had white, shimmery signature at the center of the anomaly which was a sign that thicker oil may have been present. The winds near the time of the image were out of the WNW around 10 kts which aligns well with the orientation of the anomaly. UNCERTAINTIES: The source of the anomaly could not be determined.
