I determined a potential seismic location in the Manus Basin region of the Bismarck Sea, using a 19:58 UTC ACE data disruption time on 7th May. This was based on a 12 hour scenario between 19:58 UTC 7th May – 07:58 UTC 8th May corresponding to Sunrise / Sunset occurring on the same co-ordinates on Manus Basin. It now appears the data disruption may have been attributed to the moon being located on longitude 151.849’E New Britain Region P.N.G. at this time and date… ironically, the 6.0 P.N.G. event occurred today at 07:57:54 UTC !
The event occurred 326 km’s (202.5 miles) from my posted co-ordinates… and 76 km’s (48.8 miles) outside my 250 km margin.

Original prediction in the forecast forum dated as May 8 11:24 pm… the event occurred “7 hours – 58 minutes” after the forecast period started 🙂
