I think they are the same source, but maybe they are the result of many hours of processing. These imaging guys can do wonders with a bunch of lucky math and many other tricks of their trade.
Seriously, are you are jealous because a bunch of clever people decided to help with this search? You think that the SAR people should have said, "Sorry, no. It wouldn't be fair to other missing people if we let 20,000 geeks help one of their own on this search."
Jeebus. Even the Marines are allowed to go back and make a special effort at recovery that would not be normally attempted; why not nerds?
Yep. Looks like a search plane to me. From memory, the search team have about 9 fixed wing and 3 helicopters involved full-time in the hunt. I think we've found three of them in googleearth so far - which means that the system is working folks!
Whatever you do, don't call the emergency services to report one of these planes. Only report them to the Mechanical Turk team at Amazon or at the very least post it AC to/. and someone will could forward it on for you.
Yes, it is clearly a plane, however it is also clearly as aircraft involved in the search that is at altitude above the terrain.
I think you should release the coordinates because we have already seen others like this. For an example the exact same as yours, see the following...
38 29'03.51"N 119 24'21.64"W
Look just to the west and you'll see a plane just like your own. Release the damn coordinates will you?

Help Find Steve Fossett
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
I have just completed my 729th image looking for Steve Fossett on the Mechanical Turk. I guess thats a lot more than I originally intended to do, but my reasons for keeping going are:-
If Steve isn't found immediately, there probably won't be much point in looking anymore. We have to help today.
I admire his approach to life. We just passed Steve Irwin's anniversary here in Oz and this sort of guy is all too rare.
This isn't a lottery - you help almost as much by your work in eliminating the useless images as you do by escalating the significant ones so you can always feel a sense of satisfaction even when you don't see a plane.
I've got nothing else better to do with a lazy Sunday.
In the 729 views, I've reported one image that contained a feature that looked like a rock formation impersonating an aircraft. The instructions tell us to be conservative so I reported the hit.
Plenty more to go around folks! How often are you given the chance to personally save the life of a billionare? Sounds worthwhile even in capitalist America to me.
Follow-up. I have contacted the person who put the satellite picture on Amazon and sent them AC's coordinates. No need for everyone to do it, I'm sure they're busy right now.
The scale make it a little bit small, but I think it is exactly the sort of thing that they are telling us to report to them. Contact the HIT requestor via Amazon perhaps?
The reports said that a bunch of air force weapons handling people have been removed from their posts. Careers have been ruined by this, so I don't think it was psyops.
Plus considering even the military didn't know they were moving Nuclear Weapons, the chances of someone attempting to steal them is next to nill.
Let me get this straight, they didn't know they were carring nuclear weapons so this made the situation somehow safer?? So....
They didn't follow nuclear weapon safety protocols that would normally be in place
In an air-emergency, their decisions would be flawed by know realising their warheads were non-conventional
Lucky for us they also didn't think they were on a conventional bombing live-fire excercise, or were not diverted to a foreign destination to respond to a natural disaster or other event.
At this stage, the only people who we are sure didn't know where the bombs were was the military command and control. We have no idea what other groups might have known.
