Original warning text
ISTOP Anomoly Report off ; Newfoundland, Canada. Newfoundland, Canada. 1. SSC Frank Csulak recieved a request from Coast Guard District 5 for assistance with analysis of a Canadian ISTOP Anomoly report. They received a report of an anomaly in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. This anomaly may or may not be oil, as all we really know is that it's based on satellite radar imagery and the surface of the water there is different than the surrounding water. A vessel went through the area a few hours prior to the detection of the anomaly, and is a possible source for whatever the anomaly is. 2. THREAT: OIL. 3. POSITION 45.509N 053.293W.
