These are 0.4 m resolution pictures taken by satellite (GeoEye) since
Fossett went missing. You're shown a picture and either you say "no,
nothing of interest" or "yes, this should be checked out". There's
over 100,000 images to sift through, so if you can help, please do!


Dan - What is the paint job on the missing Citabria ?
Startburst ? Stripes ? Didn't see this info, perhaps it would help....

Background

On Monday, September 3, 2007, Steve Fossett, the first person to fly a
plane around the world without refueling and the first person to fly
around the world in a balloon went missing in Nevada. An airplane he was
flying failed to return. No one has any idea where he is.

Through the generous efforts of individuals at several organizations,
detailed satellite imagery has been made available for his last known
whereabouts.


Instructions

You will be shown a single satellite image. The task is to flag any
satellite images which contain foreign objects that may resemble Steve's
airplane or parts of a plane. Steve's plane will show up as a regular
object with sharp edges, white or nearly white, about 21 pixels long and
30 pixels in wingspan.

Notes

If in doubt, be conservative and mark the image. For complete coverage,
we've set up this HIT such that multiple people will cover the same area
several times over. Please do your best, but do not worry that missing
one little detail will be tragic. It will get caught.

Marked images will be sent to a team of specialists who will determine
if they contain information on the whereabouts of Steve Fossett.

Friends and family of Steve Fossett would like to thank you for helping
them with this cause.
