Re: the above image. I'm not seeing what you're seeing there.
Here is some info from my Dad who is a private pilot re: this situation...
"The plane burns about 9 gals per hour and carries a total of 36 gallons. The typical cruise speed would be about 130 MPH so that gives you a radius of 620 miles around the airport! The mission for his flight was to go check out places for a possible land speed record attempt so he would be flying toward large flat areas. I don't know if he was trying to go towards Bonneville salt flats or what."
And you definitly need to take wind into consideration. Im a pilot. I have really been wonding about the whole dry lake bed thing and wondering why there is no imagery to the east.

I have reported the images along with the decimal coordinates to deepflight.com.
Here is another image. On the right is the enhanced version of the picture Amazon Turk gives to show the size of his plane. But his plane is not white, it has orange stripes and a blue sunburst on it. It's also 30 pixels in width, which the one on the left is.

With all due respect I think that you could find the shape of a plane anywhere you look with regard to shapes on the ground. If you look at aircraft examples shown on the images I think you would see that an aircraft or parts of one would be much more prominant than what you are looking at here. That is unless he drilled a hole straight down.

Please use a kmz file. Screenshot quality is not very good.
i posted screen just to demonstrate i dont see anything what seems to be enough sharp to be plane ...
with question in mind if there is any 'trick' to improve quality of visuals beyond maxxed GE settings
ofc if You want lossless png or bmp no problem to compare
also people may easily see more (than usually is there) if they do tricks with sharpness or constrast like

Lisa that area to the left is far too large - even the one on the right most likely is.
This is from 2000' over the Flying M - you are looking at that image from much lower
see how small the plane by the hangar is
The image I posted up was from 900'.
this is from 2,000' over your hit.
The one on the right is a possible but don't get too excited - there are hundreds..

Mturk says the wingspan would be 30 pixels wide, which the one on the left is. I might think this was just something in the landscape if not for the orange-yellow coloring on one side and the blue on the other. Those are the colors on his wings.
Edited to add: Look at it from this angle. Looks less like part of the landscape here. You can even see shadow under the wings, giving it depth.

anyone have coordinates or screen shot of an already discovered wreck in the area - there have been 6.
•••
I think no sat shots to the east as it's military area.

Can someone with more experience take a look at this area. No debris field, but what looks to me like a impact area along then over the ridge. Could just be natural erosion as well. But the apparent straight line is not natural.

That is a very interesting fine - sure does look like something clipped the ridge line - very steep.
 
did you report?
and what the heck is this??? Bottom bit looks very structured.
