On October 2, 2014, at approximately 14:00 hours (2:00 PM local time), an anomalous sonar and magnetic anomaly was recorded at a depth of northeast of the Dominican Republic, near the Puerto Rico Trench.
Declassified / Log Extract Date Code: 02/10/14 (Interpreted: October 2, 2014) Coordinate Indicator: 540 (Possible depth reading in feet, heading, or item count) Region: Greater Antilles / Windward Passage
For those researching or cataloging JAV, understanding the alphanumeric structure is essential. Most titles follow a "Label-Number" format (e.g., SDDE-625), but "Carib" codes use the date-based system.
remains an open curiosity. Official records attribute the event to a “submarine landslide” or “whale call.” However, three details keep this file flagged for review:
“Thermal readout showed a 2-degree Celsius rise at 540m. No vent field mapped there. Sonar ghost returned a hard target—then nothing. Radar caught a surface wake three miles away, heading south. No ship on AIS. Watched it vanish into a squall line. Logged as ‘equipment error’ at 16:00.”
I have interpreted this code as a potential from the Caribbean region.
