Fascinating patterns on the water in the Strait of Hormuz (Apr 22, 2026). On the upper right it looks to me like there's a contrail from fast moving aircraft near the surface of the water (maybe). Large ship going left to right. What the heck is going on with the water's surface, is what i want to know... green stuff -- algae? white stuff-? Not what you normally see in Southern California. It seems to be on the surface as the ship is disturbing the pattern... "sea snot" algae?

CENSORSHIP: "Satellite imaging firm Planet Labs said on Saturday it will indefinitely withhold ‌visuals of Iran and the region of conflict in the Middle East to comply with a request from the U.S. government.

California-based Planet Labs announced the decision in an email to customers and said the U.S. government had asked all satellite imagery providers to indefinitely ​withhold images of the conflict region.

The restriction expands upon a 14-day delay on imagery of the Middle East ​that Planet Labs imposed last month, a move the firm said was meant to prevent ⁠adversaries from using it to attack the U.S. and its allies.

Planet Labs said it will withhold imagery dating back ​to March 9 and that it expects the policy to remain in effect until the conflict ends.

The war began ​when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, and the conflict spread in the region when Tehran responded by launching its own attacks on Israel and U.S. bases in Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain."
