I have a plane,not sure if on the ground. Please if others could check.
LAT.38.698404 LON.-119.037355 Rudy.

Whether it's on the ground or in the air, it's the type of thing they want
you to report.

I thought you found the plane while participating in the "mechanical turk"
search, in which case reporting it would have been a part of the process.
If you found it just by looking, probably the best bet would be to go to the
Steve Fossett website http://www.stevefossett.com/ and just report it on
their contact link.

No I did not participate, it was just a 3 hrs of search around the airport.
It is most likely a search plane. I tried a 910 396-0704 number and it does
not work from Montreal. There is just no way of giving the info.I am
surprised that there is no site to report findings outside the system.

Consider prepending a Country Code of 'one'
to the telephone number: 1 910 396-0704

If you dial the 910 396 0704 number you get another dial tone - then you
dial 4719 - it's kinda confusing - it took me a couple tries before I
thought to keep dialing.

"A hotline has been established for tips in the search for Steve.

The number, (910) 396-0704 and when the tone comes, dial 4719.
Officials say tipsters should be prepared to leave their name, contact
number, latitude and longitude coordinates and a description of the
area."

One way to report a hit is to telephone the Steve Fossett
search-tips hotline at +1-910-396-0704. When you hear
the tone, press 4719.

Be prepared to leave your name, contact number, latitude, &
longitude, and a description of the area of interest.
