And similar shapes again just a few more squares away. Maybe they're just boats!
- Haven't acutally tagged that many areas, kept tagging by accident and when you untag it doesn't take the count down.

Its possible. I've found another one at 23972. I'm not really sure what they are so i've been marking them as 'other'

Guys, they are boats. Pointy at one end, squarish at the other. Sun to the south, shadow to north behind control tower and beyond the front (pointy bit).

Yeah, the second image I think are definitely boats, first is less obvious, but again most likely a boat.

This is far less boat shaped and far more wing shaped:
I wish there was an 'it looks a bit like wreakage but I'm not sure' button. Oddly it looks too big to be a slightly underwater 777 wing at 40m wide

That's a cloud. I've run out of cider and I'm off to bed.

Hope that the pictures of three pieces of wreckage the Chinese authorities have published are not another red herring.

so they are looking in the wrong place, the whole search has been one **** up after another
Maybe the plane actually did land in Beijing after all?
Confirmed for red herring.

lol at people thinking they are going to find something on here
According to a source from a journalist looking for a scoop, which is where most of the confusion has come from in the last week!
Let's wait until it is announced officially as RR (Boeing's "engine department") have already said they only received two pieces of telemetry. Not saying its not correct but that it should be trrmeated with some scepticism until it's properly announced.
I still question how a plane could have overflown several countries without challenge however! Unless of course it was a hijacking/pilot taking it off course and they descended low enough to avoid radar. If planned in advance then perhaps it went to lower altitude when they turned the transponder off and flew a course that avoided population centres and landed on a disused runway or in the desert somewhere... Obviously there are many massive issues with that but...
That image is incorrect as well, there is no way the plane would have only just enough fuel to get to Beijing. The circle of reach would in fact be signifncantly larger than that!
You can see it now can't you, "OCUK Finds Missing Airliner!"
No. If they can't find it, a few nerdy keyboard warriors won't.
Not a red herring, just they can't find it... The satellite is from several days ago, the wreckage (whatever it is/was) could have sunk or moved dozens of miles.
