BP OIl - Mystery Packages on the seabed

Around 4 am, the Canyon Offshore TXLS-09 cam started showing us 10 mysteriously wrapped packages attached to a line of some sort.  Following the line from right to left - it begins under the seabed, goes up in an arc, comes down and into the seabed and then the line heads up toward the surface.

This afternoon, the Canyon Offshore V-01 cam spent quite a bit of time going up and down the line.  It really seemed interested in the 5th package (counting left to right). It also focused on the area between #4 and #5 and then between #5 & #6.

The straps binding the covering have "Made in USA" written on them.  One strap, I believe on #7, says "L 6,000 LB".  These straps all have metal buckles and are cinched tightly over the canvas - which look to also have zippers on them.  The packages are different shapes and a few look to contain something yellow.

Pictures will continue to be added as the cams revisit the area.
Pictures showing 3 wide are from early morning - and the Canyon cam is the last one.
Pictures showing 2 wide were taken this afternoon - the V-01 cam is the bottom left one.
