10. If you want, they also give you coordinates such as
"38.117852,-119.279851" which you can then go back and paste into the
Google Earth tool to look at the same location and zoom around using the
Google Earth software.


I think these are the three updated search areas (outlined in red)

I noticed tonight the Mechanical Turk site has added two more areas of
GeoEye imagery, to the west and south of the earlier three. Lots of cloud
cover in the one to the west, and some large registration errors (1500 feet
at one point I checked). These seem to be the areas where the latest HITS
are located.

One wonders why it took three weeks for this information to surface:

FRESH CLUES REVIVE FOSSETT SEARCH
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#196230)
Search crews looking for adventurer Steve Fossett, who vanished
while on a pleasure flight more than three weeks ago, now are
working with fresh leads provided by the U.S. Air Force, the
Associated Press

(http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/n...vefossett.html)
reported on Wednesday. An analysis of radar and satellite images
has picked up what might be the track that Fossett flew. "It gives
us an idea, if it's him, what direction he was going," Gary Derks,
the state official in charge of the search, told the AP. Derks
said the new search area stretches about 100 miles to the
southeast from the Flying M Ranch, where Fossett took off on Sept.
3, crossing remote areas of Nevada and approaching Death Valley
National Park in California. "There's nothing definite, nothing
concrete," Derks said. "These are just some hits that we want to
track."
