The flashing buoy I see is not in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s way out in the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m thinking a malfunction of some kind.

Yeah, it’s east of the Bahamas and North of Puerto Rico.

It’s a DART (Tsunami detection buoy).

Shows some sharp oscillations in water height in the last three hours.

No notable earthquakes near it, though.

Most likely some sort of malfunction; if not the (remote) possibilities are a tsunami induced by an underwater landslide; I think an asteroid would have been noticed.
