Daily — 29–30 October 2026

Reporter leads unexplained so far

1. RWI-SITREP-019-L1LNG Canada, Kitimat: a daytime heat pair ten times the plant's usual, filed as routine

   Where / when29 Oct 19:30 UTC (12:30 PDT), NOAA-21: two pixels of 10.95 MW each at 54.016 N, 128.676 W and 54.012 N, 128.685 W, 0.9–1.4 km south of the plant's usual night flare spot (54.025 N, 128.682 W).

   WhyEvery earlier detection there (9, on 20–26 Oct) was at night and 0.4–1.5 MW. This one is by day, about ten times hotter, and in a different place on the site. The FIRMS watch filed it as routine because the whole site is marked persistent and two pixels are not a spike. A big flaring event at a plant still ramping up is plausible; the data cannot say what burned.

   Would settle itLNG Canada or the BC Energy Regulator: any flaring, upset or maintenance notice for 29 Oct; local reporting in Kitimat.

2. RWI-SITREP-019-L2The Tunisian military C-130J at St. John's (carried from SITREP 018, L1)

   Where / whenZ21122 (TUN82), on the ground at St. John's at 20:29 UTC on 29 Oct. No ADS-B after 21:07, so where it went next is not in the data.

   WhyContext, not an answer: in November 2025 a Tunisian C-130J-30 brought Airbus H125 helicopters to Langley, BC, for retrofit and flew home via St. John's (JetPhotos). A repeat of that run would explain it. Unconfirmed.

   Would settle itIts next leg (ADS-B once the archive is published); the airport or the Tunisian embassy.

3. RWI-SITREP-019-L3Djibouti: the first-time hot spot beside the main road (carried from SITREP 017, L2)

   Where / when11.556–11.557 N, 43.050–43.052 E; 28 Oct 10:04–10:24. No new heat and no pass over Djibouti in the 36-hour pickup.

   WhyUnchanged.

   Would settle itThe next clear Sentinel-2 pass.

4. RWI-SITREP-019-L4Western Libya: the Zawiya coast night-burn spot (carried from SITREP 017, L3)

   Where / when32.793–32.795 N, 12.770–12.774 E; six nights since August, last 28 Oct 00:52. No new heat; one new Sentinel-1 radar pass (29 Oct 05:13), no optical.

   WhyUnchanged; the catalogue classes it occasional, so it will never be filed as routine.

   Would settle itA clear Sentinel-2 pass; local reporting.

5. RWI-SITREP-019-L5Djibouti: the recurring daytime burn spot north of the Chabelley runway (carried from SITREP 017, L4)

   Where / when4 May, 22 Jun, 6 Jul, 26 Oct. No new heat; no pass.

   WhyUnchanged.

   Would settle itCJTF-HOA / Camp Lemonnier public affairs.

6. RWI-SITREP-019-L6Carried forward, unchanged: the open leads of SITREPs 008–015 (carried from SITREP 017, L5)

   Where / whenAs listed in SITREP 017.

   WhyNothing in this window touches them.

   Would settle itAs in the original reports.
