Look here in Google Earth (with latest .kml) At the risk of repeating myself, please don't try to use Google Earth to search. Only use Mechanical Turk. The reason is simple - the area to be searched is huge, and MTurk makes sure that each area gets looked at, but only the appropriate number of times. If you use Google Earth, you could well be looking at areas that have been searched already by MTurk, wasting your time, while unsearched areas go ignored, hindering the search. Dan |

I think that people not searching in the officially prescribed methodology do not hinder the search, except for in the very minor way of consuming Google Earth bandwidth. They might not be helping as much as they could be, but they certainly _are_contributing, and are not hindering the search in any measurable way. Some people have, and know that they have, above average capacity for pattern recognition under certain circumstances of target and background, signal and noise. It makes sense for them to take advantage of their strengths in whatever way they see fit. The thing that will hinder the search most of all is lack of people to search. I think that it is important to keep people engaged by letting them work to their individual strengths. Bob K. |

Another issue that surfaced Wednesday is that the area with the updated
sat images do not ... or only very marginally... contain the areas that were described as areas of "strong leads". Are there updated Sat images covering those areas?

I respect your intension. In my case; I search primarily via Amazon MTurk. Thére was it I reviewed this "hit"-picture. And reported it. And posted it as a "second-opinion" in this dread. So I agree on your view, but me by someone jumped in to conclusions. Greetings from The Nederlands, Ro |

When I tried to cross mountain range from Flying M to Walker Lake (flying tilted Google Earth) I spotted something light blue in the shadow part of the canyon. Can you guys check this 38 37 23.61 N 118 36 55.41 W Also something light brown and white (like those planes at Flying M) here : 38 36 55.89 N , 118 50 44.71 W Ryszard Krolikowski |

That's outside the .kml files I have. So either you've got a .kml that I don't have, or you're looking at stale (pre-search) terrain. 38 36 55.89 N , 118 50 44.71 W That one is inside a new .kml file that I didn't have previously. No opinion as to its validity. Thanks, Bob K. |
