Methane is my guess

Isn't methane is a colorless gas making it clear?
Could the product be from fracking, or maybe the two mixed together along with all the other stuff come out as a weird product?
My Dad once made the firehouse stew at home.
He did something to it, put too much of something in and it turned out horrible.
I think they put to much garbage in their big stew and now it also is turning out horrible.

BP has fractured the entire sea floor and there is no way to stop the gushers, nor the seepers. MC 252 is not the only wellheads leaking. Over 27,000 wellheads have never been properly sealed! MC 292 is between two Salt Domes and was a drill site by BP. I wrote several articles about all of this, but one I currently wrote has very ominous portents. I may post it here as well, but for now, I'll hold my tongue since I am new to this site.

FreedomRox, please feel free to post your articles (one at a time) or a link to them. The map I linked to above shows a shortwave spike in Louisiana that appeared early this morning. Could this be referencing the wellhead that is now spewing "unknown product?" (Laughing sardonically as I type that. Reminds me of effing Donald Rumsfeld and his "known unknowns, etc.")
In addition to periodic blowouts, the underwater drilling sites worldwide have a history of constant leaking that the MSM never covers. These leaks have to be causing long term ill effects, but with a toxic menu of oil & gas pollution, nuclear & EMF radiation, agricultural chemicals, medications & fluoride in our drinking water, chemtrails and on and on, it's almost impossible to sort out what is causing the skyrocketing cancers, autism, mental breakdowns and immune system diseases.

TYVM amber. I wouldn't worry too much about a shortwave spike, but longwave is another thing entirely. It is absolute that this oil came from the Macondo.
The shortwave spike you allude to is most likely from the Gwen network, so watch for weather in the local area take a turn.

Lots of info, so take it as long as you can. One thing to consider… Oxygen being forced by drilling will seep thru fractures in the surrounding sub-strata and throughout the caverns. Oxygen plus methane equals a truly dangerous situation.

I knew there was something fishy about the radioactive readings at the Bayou Corne sinkhole. Makes perfect sense. Spent fuel rods would easily go down a well casing into the salt domes under louisianna,Texas and under the gulf. There is documented proof thet the government has advocated for the use of salt domes as a good place to store radioactive waste. They currently use the New Mexico salt domes to do exactly that so whats to keep them from doing it in these salt domes. Today's photos of the sinkhole shows that this monster is out of control. I suggest that if you have relatives or live in Southern Louisianna that you get the hell out of there. Even it it doesn't blow to kingdom come it's definately highly contaminated beyond any possibility of ever getting cleaned up. Make sure you don't jump put of the pan into the fire and by that I mean stay clear of areas close to any nuke plants or reprocessing plants like Hanford washington,rocky flats colorado, and Savannah River site in South Carolina. Also stear clear of Simi Valley Calif(nuclear accident site) and Crescent oklahoma (old kerr mcghee plutonium processing plant). I live in Houston and am thinking of selling everything I own and moving to Costa Rica. Its going to get worse – who knows what the outcome of this nighmare will be.

BP oil spill's health effects will be felt for generations, scientist warns
http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2011/02/bp_oil_spills_health_effects_w.html
"…The blood tests were performed on people of varying ages, gender and exposure levels. All of the individuals tested displayed some physical symptoms typical of exposure to crude oil or Corexit, Subra said. Immediate symptoms include skin irritation, nausea, headaches and vomiting. Longer-term maladies can include liver and kidney damage, cardiac arrhythmia and chronic respiratory problems. Benzene also is a cancer-causing agent.
Test results consistently showed elevated levels of chemicals — among them benzene, ethylbenzene and Xylene — that are found in either crude, dispersant or both, she said. Results were similar on oysters and other Gulf seafood.
Among soil samples taken in four states, 60 percent showed dangerously elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbons when compared with normal marine sediment screenings, Subra said."

BP Gulf disaster -Food chain damage likely on the way
Kristiansen said that the worst of the damage from the oil remains buried in such sub-sand deposits would likely be subsurface ecosystems.
“The damage that we don’t see could be far worse,” he said. “The subsurface ecosystem damage can damage the genetic make up of and productivity of these ecosystems.”
He said that the chemicals released by the initial spill accumulate upward in the food chain, and “reach levels above the threshold of what causes genetic damage in marine species, and may further cause cancer in seafood consuming humans.”
“If anyone is still accepting BPs assertions that this is not an environmental disaster any longer, this is an eye opener,” he added.

A wellhead blows, and immediately the methane disaster crowd jumps on it like it's 100% proof positive. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I cite inductive reasoning. It says "unknown", which means that they haven't analyzed it yet. There is not enough info here to tie it to anything yet.
Report comment
My article is well researched and is not advocating a doomsday scenario, but with knowledge comes the power to ask intelligent questions and get some equally intelligent answers, of which none have been provided at any of the most recent disasters. Ever get the truth about Macondo? No, we had to drag it out of their publications and emails after the fact, and after Matt Simmons lost his life warning us. It is now confirmed that the prior oil is from Macondo in September. It is not inductive reasoning that if the slicks from 2011 and 2012 are from Macondo, that a slick at Macondo is from Macondo. Do you even have a clue as to how many wellheads exist just on Mississippi Canyons 252 and 296? I do.

It was an offshoot magma chamber. If he is correct then we will see frozen methane releasing itself. Altho' natural gas is colorless, it is far from odorless. Need boots on boats out near Macondo, but would probably be shot by BP security.
@kali, I have attempted to stay away from the 'elephant in the room', because no matter how many times you try to explain to people the environmental catastrophe that will murder their children…I normally only face angry nay-sayers. It is a very sad and tragic situation in the Gulf. May prayers go out to them as well as the victims of New York and New Jersey now facing a Nor' Easter and plummeting temperatures this week.
