not good

exactly - still a mystery
Sure seems like the 65 miles out in the ocean must be wrong. I don't see a recreational boater out there that day. If hoax came from commercial ship, they would be able to correlate to AIS.
 
I was thinking the CG tower was on Mt Umunhum (real name) where there is a weather radar tower. It's the 3rd highest peak in the Santa Cruz mountains (at 3486 feet).
 
Charlie, a quick rough check of Line Of Sight ( or rather, radio horizon ) from that tower would be about 70 miles... So you may very well be correct.
