Ko3, that is one of the strangest Google Earth images I've ever seen!!
For those who haven't seen it, here it is on Google Maps:
Ocean anomaly
The center of the anomaly is 1/3 mile off shore. The large ripples are probably the sea floor, not the ocean surface. But the smaller ripples emanating out from the anomaly are clearly on the ocean surface and seem to extend east at least 2 miles. Small swells only travel about 3 miles an hour, so this anomaly had been generating waves for about 40 minutes.
Perhaps it's a very low island off shore? It couldn't be due to an earthquake because that would mean it was rumbling for 40 minutes - which is unheard of. Also, it wouldn't create waves that small.
Good catch!
