Steve Fossett Missing: Help find him by searching satellite imagery

remember to download the new klm file, otherwise your looking at an old pointless image.

Hmm, if you turn on terrain, and get a perspective view it looks like a scar on the top of the hill/mountain. Cross referencing with the older images shows a difference, but nothing plane like (unless it was a hard impact). There are some similar marks in that vacinity, so could be ecological.
Thanks for the post, all the info you guys find is good stuff
lol.
No need to be a tit. I said why I thought it involved hassle that wasn't needed. Creating a site where you can just submit your findings without needing an account is hardly sophisticated. Granted, nikebee makes a good point, I can just submit what I find here.
I'll have a look for my spot, I remember how I got to it roughly.
Edit
The map is a lot more detailed then it was last night. I did do the update, I guess it only applied once I closed google earth or something. I've just gone back to the spot where I think it was and it looks like terrain when I view it in tilt.

Transponders aren't mandatory in light aircraft (laws might be different for N reg aircraft) and unless there was low level SSR coverage in the area, there would be no radar plot available. There may have been a PSR return but I'm sure they're already working on that.
I cant get this to work, I downloaded the kml http://s3.amazonaws.com/fossett/geoeye-color.kml and navigated to 38°37'7.01"N 119° 0'6.86"W where he started... this area seems to have the lowest quality of everything around it, theres just a big patch of poor quality green mess
use the amazon hits, it's much more useful to them.
Rather than start a new thread, bumpage is offered!
Apparently Steve Fossett has now been declared dead by the courts so that they can begin executing his will.

i blame the UFO's, especially over the nevada desert.
Yeah, that's what I thought. After all, it's not like he went down in the middle of nowhere in a 3rd World Country.
I think it's a jewish conspiracy

Its still the middle of nowhere though

the fact that a load of previously unknown crash sites were discovered while looking for him shows how remote this area is.
