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 Cudahy. The anomaly was approximately 6.79 nm oriented W-SE and approximately 0.09 nm in width. The dark colored anomaly had moderate contrast to its surroundings. Winds near the time of the image were coming from the NW between 0-5 kts.



UNCERTAINTIES: A Medium-High confidence was given because the full extent of the anomaly was unknown due to the large amount of natural phenomena east of the anomaly.
