Re: HUGE Glowing BLOB on BOP - Update Was Optical Illusion
Camera has moved so we do not get to see it in its gigantic bubble formation, but just moments ago there was clearly some humongous glowing bubble-looking formation on top of the BOP.

Now it is somewhat visible top right of the pic.

Wait for camera to pan up.

It is humongous. and glowing.

What is it? Gas? Flourescent dye? I have no idea, but it is amazing when you see it.

Yeah, they obviously didn't want "eyes" on that glowing whatever it is on the top.

Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

Could that be just a huge glare from over exposure in the camera? I think there is a big squarish metal fixture where that blob is.

Re: HUGE Glowing BLOB on BOP - Update Was Optical Illusion
what is that huge blob of oil colored goop hanging over the top of that what thing pic'd on

HOS Super H ROV 1?

ck it out, it's now 11:25 pacific time.

the HOS Super H ROV 1 cam is the second on the list on the left of page, second up from the bottom that is.

?????

thick and not flowing whatever it is. looks like it bubbled out and overflowed from something.

is that normal and has it been there all along?

thanks for sharing this site link, it doesn't crash my puter either, for once.

you can also see bubbles coming up from below the blob all around the front of the view there.

constant bubbling up of something, like air?

this on the SUPER H ROV 1 cam, as indicated.

You should have seen Olympic Challenger ROV 1 on Sunday. The sea floor was bubbling and vibrating like a lid on top of a pot of boiling water. It probably still is thats why the WH is panicking and the ROV's arent filming it.

Re: HUGE Glowing BLOB on BOP - Update Was Optical Illusion
its those bubbles coming up that are making that big blob on Scandi H ROV 1 cam.

they go up and stick/disappear into that blob, so I guess the blob is an accumulation of whatever is coming up in the bubbles, it has to be.

damn, I wish I had. I watch for hours and then seem to miss all the unique stuff that happens between.

this is the best site so far, it seems, for scanning thru all of them.

just wish they didn't keep all cams focused on stuff they aren't that concerned with us seeing.

figures

that blob reminds me of a giant bee hive or something, wasp nest. very odd consistenc/shape to it.

Re: HUGE Glowing BLOB on BOP - Update Was Optical Illusion
Now there are globs and filaments of white coming out, down and away from the "bubble" (which is above the camera view at the top of the Leaning Tower of Macondo).

I tend to think the "glowing bubble" is methane hydrate spewing out.

Anybody have a better explaination?

Want there a thread a week ago in witch scientists talk about fluorescent bubbles floating under the oil?

But it could be Oilzilla, and his evil minions the Eggs.

I think HOS Super H ROV 1 is staring up close on some oil substance that this freezing in place as it bubbles up.

You ask "is that normal and has it been there all along?"

Nothing here is normal.

Nothing.

Now if you mean normal since 3 months ago... maybe.

That is a large metal containment device that is not easily seen because of the over exposure of the camera. On top of that devise is where the cap is. The joint that is being shown is actually where the old cap was taken off, then this new big ass metal block was put on top of that with a cap at it's top. You are not looking at the top of the structure!

The camera moved, and revealed that we were seeing a humongous LIGHT source, positioned so we were looking right at it.
