Open the kml file through Amazon Turk and enter into the "fly to" box:

38.827146,-119.429319

This looks like 2 planes. The one on the left would have a wingspan of 30 pixels and is facing south. Its right wing (left as you look at it) has orange-yellow coloring, and the other wing looks blue. The object on the right looks like another smaller plane, possibly upside down?

I gave this information to Amazon Turk yesterday, but probably with the wrong coordinates. I found it while scanning away from one of the images they presented me. How else can I get these coordinates to someone quickly? I know they have thousands to look at...

Tried suggested area by Ed Dames from the C2CAM website just for the heck of it... (It happened to overlap the available color GeoEye overlay, so why not?)

Anyhow, I spotted what appears to be a creme (off-white yellow) colored aircraft on its side with various parts adjacent and what may be debris scattered to the north north east of its resting location. Not sure if this would be the color of Steve's plane, since most pictures show a blue & white color scheme as being popular for the aircraft. Becomes visible around 2000ft "earth viewing altitude" and appears only on the overlay. Length of what I presume to be the fuselage is about 20ft using the measuring tool, and landing gear and wing strut appear to be discernable features (although its badly pixelated when zoomed in.)

Not terribly far from trails/roads and right along a river bed, so the site should be readily accessable. Other user placemarks are in the vicinity, so apparently hikers and "bigfoot researchers" have been in there before.

Edit - screen cap showing what I think I'm seeing and orientation.





The anomaly looks manmade. Sort of what you would expect a downed aircraft to end up. Wings and fuselage apart from eachother.

I think its a bit too large for the aircraft in question, but google earth is not a precision tool.

Personally i can't make out any discernable structure.

I would report it for sure, its one of the most "crash-like" images i have seen yet.

It would be nice if the search team marked places, that has been checked.


If you switch to the older GE image --you see the same white mark. It could be an older plane crash??--They have located 6 downed planes they were unaware off before this search. danescombe


BTW-----> GEC Member PRSurfer has put together a KML file with all the main 'sightings' marked .

It may be worth you downloading this -so you don't reproduce sites that have already been flagged -- DownLoad KML File HERE







Go north of this area and look at the semi parked on the road notice there the same length width and color.

may i ask if there is layer with all these 'known' (charted and newly found uncharted) crash sites ?

if it was easily available then number of false reports drops ...




There is one but it did not include the plane i posted the location of. Is someone related to the search updating this?

It seems like a natural feature to me, BUT if its on Mturk, someone else might report it. The images are circulated, so every image has more than one person looking at it.

I would say, that if you can see 2 planes in one picture, they might not be planes at all, but rather two features that looks slightly like airplanes. Since the chance of crashlanding next to another crashlanded plane is pretty slim.

Yes, that's it. Look closely at the two objects. I read that the plane Steve was in has orange stripes and a blue sunset painted on the wings. That would match the colors on what appear to be the wings on the plane to the left.

edited to add: this particular image was not presented to me at Mturk. I scanned away from one they did give me, and found this.

Please use a kmz file. Screenshot quality is not very good.

Google earth is not color true and i can't see any planes.

Can you still see two?

Sorry, I know this is a bad and dark picture, but you can see the color on the wings. The more I look at it the more I think I'm seeing 2 planes.
