Do you have a link to that site?

Huge dark clouds floating through Ocean Intervention Rov 1 right now. Looks too dark to be propeller wash. You can see the light off & on in the background.

Here is another one that really shows some action from down below. Watch at 0:40 sec, then 2:00 min, and 3:00 its worth the viewing.

So, anyone know what that was going up @ 3:01. I thought it was a bubble but.....

Not sure....If they were messing with the color, it could have been one of those tar balls....when you look at the cam going down the pipe, you can see them in there.

Its big though and has a tail like the lil swimming things in all the videos that manage to swim around this toxic mess. Its going up in the middle of video @ 3:01 tail on left of it????

don't know if anyone has brought this up, but well, thought some might be interested in it...

New bacteria degrades oil faster, in deep, cold water: study


WASHINGTON — A new species of bacteria found in the Gulf of Mexico degrades oil faster at deeper and colder depths than expected, scientists said Tuesday in a study that could explain how the BP oil spill has mostly disappeared.

The bacteria not only speeds up the bio-degradation of crude oil, but does it without depleting vital oxygen levels in the water, said the scientists who analyzed in May a plume of oil at a depth of 1,000-1,200 meters (3,600-4,000 feet), extending 16 kilometers (10 miles) out from the broken BP wellhead.

"Our findings, which provide the first data ever on microbial activity from a deepwater dispersed oil plume, suggest that a great potential for intrinsic bioremediation of oil plumes exists in the deep-sea," said Terry Hazen, a microbial ecologist with Berkeley Lab's Earth Sciences Division and lead author of the study.

so what in hades name did they let loose in the gulf??

or, is this just wishful thinking on their part???


ya know, a bunch of sea life pops up in the mississippi delta, and well, the next day this comes up...
kind of like, oh no, the dead fish can't be from us, ya see, we have this new microbe that breaks down our oil without depleting the oxygen levels...ya....

by the way....my computer did finally bite the dust...son thinks it was just the hard drive kicked the bucket...but well, lost quite a bit of my files that was on it....

I watched but I just can't make it out...all I see is the white sphere like thing. What interests me about that whole thing is the fact that it looks like fire inside of the pipe it's coming out of....that can't be, can it? I would love to know what the heck all that was yesterday!

Im not sure I thought it was some form of debris that was blocking the flow thats why all of a sudden the flow increased around the time the White Sphere you and I seen came out it alonge with other lighter material that is seen flowing downward from the pipe.

This really needs a separate posting... So many people have lost interest in the disaster, but this disaster is NOT OVER!!!! I'm thinking folks are not checking this page every day for updates.

Seriously, what the heck is that at 3:00 mins... Pink Fire!

So many people have lost interest... ( I meant to add... EXCEPT for you guys!) Thank you, thank you for continuing to keep us informed through your vigils on the ROV's.

You're welcome....there really are a lot of people who come here every day ...they just read and don't post a lot.....but that's cool...as long as the info is getting out!

Sorry had to run out for a few but here is the link.

He talks about all things dealing with the spill.

Hmmmm....no telling what it could be.... We will probably never know what half the things we have seen are.....at least if BP has thier way.

Here I found this while looking at oildrum.com and this helps to answer the question on the colors that are being seen.

- The colorful "mud" that erupted from the "color volcano" capping stack was some color dyed clear brine pumped down from the Q-4000 through the choke line of the old BOP and up through the capping stack to clear the BOP interior as much as possible before putting a camera down into it. From the video one can distinguish two different "chemicals" in different colors - first one lighter than the water flowing up and then at 3+min one heavier fluid in a different color flowing down. Those colored brine (or similar) fluids are only dyed to be able to visually distinguish them during the process. (The miss adjusted camera of the ROV Skandi 2 that made the colorful pictures just added to the '___' effect.)

Hopefully this helps to understand what we are seeing with the pretty colors that give me flashbacks of being in high school. The good ol days.
Go to the oil drum site and they have some good info. here is a link...

Check it out.

Sorry to hear about your computer, because I know exactly how you feel. I myself have replaced 3 harddrives within a six month period and that hurts because they aren't cheap. I kept getting more gigs with each one and now I have a 500gb drive it has worked fine so far because I cannot afford another one at this point.

reply to post by 1curious1


No prob. friend. It just seems like since BP has released all the propaganda related to them keeping the Earth clean, everyone has takin that as an ok then everything is fine, which is sad. I try not to get to detailed or overreact to certain things related to this situation because I dont want to install fear in people, but I really think this is only the beginning of a major event.

Nice little screen shot on SUB C ROV 2. 'Evidence Recovery.' Yeah we could only wish. Not sure what the light bar says though.

I have come across an article that is really a great read. It may be a little off topic or you may say it is not. I will leave that to you. So here it is a small snippet of the article and I will put up the link for you to read more if you want to..

Slow Violence and the BP Coverups
By ANNE McCLINTOCK

Three vanishing acts are being played out in the Gulf: the disappearing of the oil from the ocean surface by Corexit, the disappearing of the story by the media blockade, and the disappearing from view of the shadowy private contractors who are making a mint helping BP and the Coast Guard keep a cover on the clean-up.

www.counterpunch.org...

This article even talks with people that have first hand knowledge about what BP is doing still. Read it you won't be disappointed.

I have not lost interest and still check daily its just that other members are such an outstanding job I can sit back and read.

Great job you you guys are doing

It was a great read. Glad to have read that article. People will be amazed in the coming months when this oil rises and settles on beaches. The amount won't be surprising, its where it lands that will surprise people.
