Read the directions.
* Load the KML file provided on the Fossett Mechanical Turk home
page to ensure you're viewing current (not cached) satellite data. Then
cut and paste the latitude/longitude of the area you're reviewing into
Google Earth.

Do you think the imagery on google earth is real time? Are you kidding?
The imagery of the area I live in is at least 2 years old

AVweb Invites You to Join the Search for Steve Fossett
CLICK FOR A LARGER IMAGE
One example of a flagged lead, from an AVweb reader known on Amazon as
"bellanca4"
In case you haven't heard, there's a world-wide effort to find Steve
Fossett, and you can help without leaving the comfort of your computer
desk. Below is everything you need to know to be part of the largest
search ever undertaken, thanks to an amazing system called the
Mechanical Turk that was developed by Amazon.com and uses satellite
imagery supplied by DigitalGlobe and other providers.
Follow the links to review new satellite imagery of the search area and
instructions on how to possibly spot Fossett's plane. You can also look
for a straight scrape in the ground, or maybe some letters created out
of rocks or other material that someone on the ground might try to use
as a signal. Use your imagination, and don't be shy about sounding the
alert.
Good hunting, and thanks from everyone at AVweb.
Go here to help.
A few tip and tricks from AVweb editor Jennifer Whitley, who's been
helping with the online search:
* Read and follow the instructions on the Fossett Mechanical Turk
home page carefully. It ain't rocket science -- if you know your way
around a computer, you can help.
* For better detail, view the images in Google Earth.
(Download and install this free application if you don't have it
already.)
* Load the KML file provided on the Fossett Mechanical Turk home
page to ensure you're viewing current (not cached) satellite data. Then
cut and paste the latitude/longitude of the area you're reviewing into
Google Earth.
* Use Google Earth's pan, tilt and zoom features to uncover more
detail on the area you're reviewing.
* If in doubt, be conservative and mark the image for review. It
will be passed along to search-and-rescue specialists for further
analysis.
