Nighttime Satellite Image - Gulf of Mexico, September 26, 2011
As part of our investigation into the report of a fire in the Gulf the night of September 25 (at 7:45 pm local time), we got a few recent low-resolution nighttime images taken by satellites of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). This one was taken at 8:12 pm on the 25th:

There is a very faint pale spot near the location of the supposed fire; but that might be from the nearby Na Kika platform instead:
