**Use Satellite Imagery to Help Find Steve Fossett**

/posted on September 9, 2007/

Today is the sixth day of the search for Steve Fossett who was last
seen departing in a small single engine aircraft in Nevada on September
3. Steve Fossett is the current President of the National Eagle Scout
Association, a member of the Executive Board of BSA, and the recipient
of the Silver Buffalo and Distinguished Eagle Scout awards.

Amazon and Google have made available new high resolution images of the
area where Steve Fossett was flying when he went missing. You can assist
in the search by going to
http://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=9TSZK4G35XEZJZG21T60&kw=Flash
<http://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=9TSZK4G35XEZJZG21T60&kw=Flash>,
which is a page at Amazon Mechanical Turk with details on how to assist
in the search by reviewing satellite imagery. The page also provides a
downloadable KML file that can be used with Google Earth to review the
imagery. Each visitor to this site will be presented with an image that
is approximately 85m x 85x in size and given an opportunity to note
whether the picture contains anything of interest.
