Not meaning to be argumentative, but is there any proof of that?

Using a snorkel, a sub couldnt do more then 2 or 3 kts or it would knock the mast down. That can't leave much of a wake. And visibility of that is doubtful if you consider sea state (even small waves can obscurve visilbity with an object that size), and altitude and speed of an aircraft. In short, it was more then likely, TOO SMALL to see unless it was glassy calm sea.


Radar however, is another matter.
