What do you think?
« on: March 04, 2010, 07:27:32 AM »
On the day of the Chilean Earthquake, I was flying over the Sulu Sea, between East Malaysia and the Philippines. I saw this and took it with the camera on my phone. I wont say what I think I saw, its for you too see and decide

Looks like someone dropped a big arse pebble in the pond to me and you saw the ripple way out there on the other side of the pond.

Looks like someone broke the speed of sound low over the water.  Is that a dot I see in the distance or some other reflection off the canopy?

Wow! What a cool shot. I'd say it looks like waves. Sonic boom is interesting but i'd think he'd feel or hear it.

Send that to the USGS.  They would love to see a great pic like that.

Hard to say Skuzzy, it was a very, very rare day for weather, as in excellent.

I just sent an email to USGS but they want me to send it to the NOAA.

I don't believe it is a tsunami. Tsunami's have a very long wavelength in the hundreds of km.
They get closer together as they get approach a coastline, but not that close as seen in the pic.
Looks like a more local phenomena.

NOAA is the one who track tsunami's not the USGS.

Great pic though.

taking altitude into account that is a very long wavelength.
