Blue Jupiter?

I didn't notice it last night, but a user sent me a message about how
a band of Blue color is being seen on Jupiter now, they asked if it
could come from the probe that crashed into Jupiter, I told them NO
WAY, but that something else may be going on. I've got a photo from
the news article, has anyone else seen this blue band?

Read the page. I still don't understand which is the "wide band shown
on the photograph".

Jupiter has two "bands" to which people refer, a northern and a southern. I
believe this blue band to be the darker edge on the northern side of the
southern band.

Yea, the unusual disturbance that appeared on Jupiter is at the
interface of the South Equatorial Belt (SEB) and the Equatorial Zone
(EZ).
It's visible as a very elongated bluish feature. The feature's bluish
hue is more pronounced when it's near Jupiter's limb but is quite
subtle when crossing the central meridian.

On the 29th February the new feature was some 40° long (in longitude)
and was transiting Jupiter's central meridian about 2.5 hours before
the Great Red Spot (GRS).
