(This is very important in order to see if your find was there in older imagery).

Uncheck the terrain box. > Zoom to 1000 - 1500 feet on the Lat/Lon your have copied from the HIT > Uncheck the provided overlay to view the GE base data. NOTE: The overlay & GE data DO NOT line up completely)

.Check the GE images carefully to see if you can still see the point of interest.
---- If you can?. Then its NOT relevant.
----If you can not ?--Report your findings in the text box below the HIT in the Amazon Mechanical Turksite. (Not here)

The Amazon Mechanical Turk team still have 1000's of images to evaluate. Please help them by working with them and NOT on your own.

Manual searches are a drain on the search effort.
