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.

Whoops. Sorry. I meant to address your ping to me.
So what does it really mean. I for one plead ignorance as to how to interpret those radar scans relative to what should be seen assuming no external above sea bed activity is taking place, e.g. ROVs moving things about the sea floor bed proximate to the area of scans for instance. One could assume if anything bad is happening it would show up on a consistent basis. But thanks for the heads up.
