Do These New Satellite Images Show the Remains of Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?
New York Magazine ^

Posted on 03/12/2014 2:51:02 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The Chinese government has released satellite images showing "a suspected crash area at sea," including "three suspected floating objects," near the flight's planned path. Taken Sunday morning but not made public until today, the blurry shots are located northeast of Kuala Lumpur, south of Vietnam, in what may be the most promising lead thus far, on the fifth day of a frustrating, otherwise fruitless search.

There are probably 20 countries that have satellite images of what happened. They won’t make the information public.

No - it’s doubtful that the Chinese would show the world what their real surveillance capability is. You have to believe that they have clear enough pictures to positively identify this as the wreckage and then dumbed down the resolution. It’s hard to image the Chinese releasing the images without having fully identified the wreckage.

Do you think the Chicaps would use the blur function?

If they wanted to... If I were the one supplying the picture; I'd find a REAL piece of of the same kind of plane; toss it in some water, and get REALLY close to take a VERY highly detailed picture - one showing the texture of fabric or something similar.

Then tell the world it was taken from 187.65 miles, at night, through fog.
