Default Steve Fosset's belongings found (CNN link)

USA Today is reporting that the wreckage is his. No remains found yet, but the
description of the wreckage does not sound survivable.

This just up on CNN:

...A weathered sweat shirt, cash and a pilot identification
card with Fossett's name were found Tuesday near
Mammoth Lakes, police Chief Randy Schienle said.
The ID did not have a photo, he said...

Anyone have a Lat and Long where the items were found? *We could try
the Google Earth thing again...............


Google Earth doesn't have enough resolution in the search area, but
looking west of Mammoth Lakes at the 10,000 ft. level there's an odd
feature at 37deg 37' 31.92"N, 119deg 01' 27.42"W. Airplane shaped,
but too blurry to tell what it really is.

Just saw a report that the NTSB has found remains at the site -- not
saying what, but sufficient to get DNA.

Biological remains, sufficient for DNA analysis, were found in the
wreckage of the Decathlon:
