maybe a case for a crowd sourced effort.
Please NO ! Not another nonsense PR marketing exercise trendy buzz-word crowd sourced effort.

Surely it couldn't have escaped your vision the sort of absolute codswallop that arose out of the crowed source effort looking at satellite images of an area that is not even being searched anymore ! People were convincing themselves they were seeing what they wanted to see etc. etc.

The only people who should be analysing aerial photographs are those who have been trained in the art and whose job it is to do so, or retired experts, or computer programs that have already been extensively field-tested on other live projects.

Asking Joe Bloggs the armchair investigator to look at satellite imagery is about as useful as asking your pet dog to go shopping for you. Tomnod and other crowd sourcing MH370 endeavours have proven this beyond doubt with their 100% false positive ratio.
