I recently wrote about the filming of oil slicks off the coast of Miami Beach.

Now the latest CSTARS satellite images may also confirm the presence of the oil slicks from the BP Gulf Oil Spill off the Southeast Florida Coast near Miami.

If you live in the area please try and get to a tall oceanfront building and take some photos/video.

BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, University of Miami CSTARS, July 12, 2010:

A newly released satellite image shows what could be oil slicks & sheen entrained in the Loop Current/Gulfstream and rounding the southern tip of Florida. Oil may also be pictured further up Florida’s east coast, as far north as Cape Canaveral & NASA.

Here is an image of these waters on a previous date:

If these photos do indeed show oil we can add this to the long list of evidence of oil in the Gulf Stream that the Federal Government refuses to acknowledge.

But the real kicker here is that a massive amount of tar balls have been washing up on Cocoa Beach And Cape Canaveral on the East Coast Of Central Florida .

Take that report of tar balls washing up on those beaches and the NASA satellite images above showing the slick along the Cape Canaveral and then combine that with video of the oil being filmed in Miami and you have pretty clear evidence that the Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach tar balls are from the BP Gulf Oil Spill.

Yet the Coast Guard claims that the over 80 pounds of tar balls found on Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach are not from the BP Gulf Oil Spill.

The Coast Guard Marine Safety Laboratory in New London, Conn., recently analyzed oil samples collected from Cocoa Beach, FL on Wednesday. The results confirm that the tar balls are not from the Gulf oil spill.

Coast Guard troops and Eagle SWS crews, a pollution response company, collected 80 pounds of oiled petroleum product from an 8 mile stretch of Cocoa Beach. An investigation to determine where the tarballs are coming from is ongoing and have been sent to MSL for analysis.

Coast Guard Petty Officer, Michael Hulme, told WDBO, ” we are not sure where the tarballs are coming from, there is a possibility it came from boaters who dumped waste in the ocean.” “If this is the case residents should notify their local coast guard so we can give the person responsible a fine or help them clean it up if it was an accident.”

That would be a massive amount of oil in those satellite photos to have been dumped by boats.

The extent of the cover up just never fails to amaze me.
