Seen it ? Got a video on it. Knew it was unusual. The video is up now and here is its description. Will go read the Oil Drum thread some more now.
July 29th 2010 00:58 pst. Various ROV feeds during a sonar scan anomaly. Sonar anomaly was on Q4000 ROV 1. Video starts with anomaly then the ROV goes into visual mode. Then the ROV moves slightly. Then I played around with windows a little and ended up back on the Q4000 ROV 1 sonar again. Then the ROV goes back into visual. Then the ROV moves to the left heading towards some panel. BP ROV video feeds released to the public.
Sonar Anomaly on Q4000 ROV 1
In the above Q4000 sonar/visual video you can see the left edge of a strange assembly in the upper right corner. The platform of that device is slightly similar to the platform of a device that was dropped down on Sunday. At first it looked like the cone of a missile with a flat top. But then I assumed it was a large pump. A video of the device when they lowered it is below. In the sonar anomaly video feed above, you can first see it in the upper right at the 22 second mark. At least you see the left side of the platform. The pump seems to be obscured by a smoker. The device is again visible in the above video at the 2:54 mark in the upper right corner when the darn thing is glowing very bright. Could the device below be what caused the sonar anomaly ? What is the device below ? It was also seen by a Q4000 ROV.
