DATA SOURCE: LANDSAT9

CONFIDENCE: High

REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly was approximately 1.4 NM long and very thin, extending to the west from the repeat leak source Wreck 1487. Two slim patches with slightly brighter signatures indicated thicker oil within the anomaly. Winds were from S at 12kts.

UNCERTAINTIES: Confidence overall remains high overall though given the moderate cloud cover and reduced visibility, the full extent and thicker areas of possible oil were a best estimate.
