Tomnod.com Sighting .... Wtf is this plane doing here? Could this be Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 ?

I know it's not even confirmed whether or not it's the right plane, but does it look to anyone else like it's upside down?

Is there a shot of this thing without the red circle? I don't know why the circle is there in the first place unless to hide bad cut and paste. Interesting all the same.

When you use tomnod, you are asked to tag various objects with markers (circles in this case). You get to mark things like "aircraft wreckage", "debris", "liferafts", and "other things" (which i guess is anything from pirate ships to giant kraken).

But that image is definitely way out there.

Have you tried cross-referencing with flightradar and those other flight tracking webpages? Though I think that could be a search plane

Similar two engined aircraft however the dark paint colour towards the back of the fuselage and tail fin are not consistent with the missing aircraft.

Definitely flying above the trees though

$20 TMZ gets there first

Harvey at TMZ has the absolute best reporting team. I know ... It's all fluff and gossip.
But man ... that guy knows how to cover things. He's got sources ... better than the mob.

Someone hit TMZ with this ....
They have posted info about the flight on their homepage so they'll check it.
(they check everything I'm sure)

I reckon the red ring is actually the cloaking thingy that the chinese used to hijack the plane...not seriously..

It is absolutely above the tree line.
Edit: And highly doubtful that it's flying upside down but who knows.

No it doesn't ....!!

If upsides down then engines , one on either wing would be visible..

Yeah right, because since the flight disappeared NO OTHER PLANES HAVE BEEN FLYING...THEREFORE IF I SEE ONE IN A SATELLITE PIC THEN IT MUST BE FLIGHT 370.

People...REALLY?

Am I missing something or has everyone gone full retard?

I'd have to agree, it could be any plane. It's kind of like noticing people with backpacks everywhere after you experienced 9/11. But isn't it more fun this way?

Here are a few images from Google Images for comparison...couldn't find any top down views...but these do bear a fairly close resemblance...white fuselage and gray-ish wings.

Honestly, the plane on the map is just not engine-y enough. I think it would have been a good catch if it looked similar, but not quite good enough.

Good enough to make a thread about and have people get excited over, though.

No, because the engines are below the wing.

I have no idea who to call. Someone must know on here. Sorry

That plane is flying high above the trees. If you open multiple tiles you can see it's NE of a rather large dam. Anyone know where this location is?

I doubt this is the plane as it's in flight. The satellite just happened to catch it.

Hello Everyone,
Not sure if this exact sighting has been posted but...this was just too weird not to share. I was trolling around on reddit.com and also doing some Tomnod.com spotting of my own when I came across this...

Tomnod Map #655896

For those of you who don't have an account there, I've included a screenshot, because this is just too hard to believe without seeing:

Now, according to their data, that picture was taken at 3/12/14 4:49 AM..time zone not given, but I'm assuming local to me, which is EST. I was able to cross reference tomnod.com to come up with the actual Lat/Long, which came to:

Lat: 11.577303 Long: 92.680922

I've attempted to pull the picture off of GoogleMaps, but was only greeted with cloud cover over the exact location. Given that Lat/Long, it translates to this area:

Nayashahar RV, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India 744105

Which is located on the southern end of Smith Island, between the Bay of Bengal of the Andaman Sea, India.

I hope some of you have an idea of WTF a plane of that size could be doing there...

It's too small by half to be a 777 - by scale, about 120 foot long vs. the 777-200's 209 ft. Also, the 777 has large wing-mounted engines that should be visible - it looks like a 727, DC-9, or CRJ-class aircraft, with fuselage-mounted engines, on approach to the airport at Port Blair.

And there I was thinking it was aliens or something...

Yep...That's why I said a while back that the tail didn't look right. Could be an illusion but it looks like an upside down aircraft with a high tail fin

On the other photos for comparison, the engines look well forward of the wings, yet in the tomnod photo, you can't see the engines from under the wings..

There's Andy's blow up. Now compare it to a top down shot of a 777:



Notice the differences. the angle of the tail and the wings seems to me to be different. The trailing edge of both wings and tail in the original are almost 90 degrees from the fuselage. In the 777 there is a clear angle to both pieces. I don't think the original is a 777 at all.

Edit: I guess it's a bottom-up shot.

Nobody. So many planes are in the air at any given time and this one is just miles from an airport. Highly unlikely that this is the missing plane and it's a matter of hours if not minutes before this is solved/debunked.

not the same plane....tail not swept back like a 777.
