Is this MH370? US pilot believes he's found wreckage of missing airliner after searching through thousands of satellite images online - right where the flight vanished seven weeks ago

I do not know what to believe at this point, but the photos and his descriptions seem to coincide well together. However, there have been at least 10's of thousands pouring over Tomnod as well. Couple that with the advanced satellite images available to governments and corporations and it's hard to comprehend that this is only coming to light now.

Is it the wreckage? Michael Hoebel is pictured showing an image of what he believes is the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. He found the image on a website that shares satellite images



'The perfect size': He said he used a scale given by the website and compared it to the specifications listed on Boeing's website - and discovered that the figure in the water was the right size



Discovery: He said that the lighter markings on the image matched up with the design of the plane

'I was taken aback because I couldn't believe I would find this,' he told the news channel.
Where is the plane? A map shows where Hoebel believes the plane is, compared to its intended flight (red line) and suspected flight path (in blue)

He pointed to the image on his computer as he explained why he thought it was the missing airliner.
'The lighter skin where the wing attaches to the fuselage - you see that lighter skin,' he said, comparing the grainy image to a photograph of the make of plane.
And when WIVB reporter Ed Drantch questioned if the shadow could be a shark, Hoebel responded: 'That's a 210ft shark.'

I know even some members have been on the search using Tomnod.
What are your thoughts? Does his experience create more of a base for his claims?

It all feels very "lost" to me.

There was that whole plot point that someone planted a crashed 747 in the ocean to be found, specifically to throw off the search for the real one.

I wonder what was under the water off the coast of Australia that was pinging? If this is where the plane actually crashed.

Could have been whale survey pingers. I just mentioned that in the Bay of Bengal sighting, (New Zealand company believe they too have found the plane) but in the Bay of Bengal.

Just to add, the only thing here that this pilot hasn't done, or rather appears not to have done, is to backtrack that same area before the plane disappeared, and there should be nothing there. That's what the New Zealand company have done. their target was not there in the days before the plane disappeared.

My question is this:
How is this 'Michael Hoebel' connected to the CIA or other alphabet sources?
What's Michael's background?

It just says he contacted them with the information, I suppose anyone can.

The image looks interesting but how deep is the water in that area? It doesn't seem to me that whatever the image shows could be under too many feet of water which makes me think that if the water is very deep, it's not sitting on the bottom which means it has neutral buoyancy.. maybe a whale?

It's cloud cover

You state that very matter-of-fact like. Do you care to share how you know this?
Can you provide us with some additional information so that we too can understand?

Yes you could say that, but to be fair to the pilot, the reporter give it it out as a series of images, not one picture.

Looks interesting

Doesn't look like cloud cover to me I looks submerged and like a plane

To many story's going on clouding the real data tho IMO

Google Earth has it around 40~90m water depth for the Gulf of Thailand.
I spent more than a few hours back in March looking for MH370 on tomnod. The image resolution was surprisingly good. I even spotted an undersea pipeline running across the Gulf of Thailand. I thought it was an imaging anomaly at first.
Tomnod would publish their "crowd source" results of image "tags" of various objects spotted, most objects had 20+ tags by various observers. That last crowd source report (as a Google Earth template) from Tomnod I have dates back to March 16th. That image in question is not in that report. It should be noted that the area covered in each sat image is pretty small, they did not blanket the whole Gulf by any stretch of the imagination. It's possible it could be from later imaging, but the search had moved from the Gulf,and was no longer the area interest
Now, for only one person to identify any object that was imaged by tomrod is highly unlikely. Tomnod assigns the same image to multiple viewers, to provide duplicity of identifying tags. (Just like SETI files )

nice find as long it is far away from Diego Garcia

"clouding the real data"....I see what you did there.

Its a bird, its a plane no its super MH370

Looks like a whale to me.

My thought all along in regards to people searching satellite data has been this; there is no way someone sitting at a computer looking at Tomnod / satellite imagery can find the missing plane when there are plenty of countries / agencies "looking" for it with much more advanced methods. In other words, if this guy could find it - they would have already found it. I also believe that there is no way they could have lost the plane to begin with - I feel they know exactly where the plane is.

Either Whales…….Submarines or UFO's

That would never work. The plane has identifiers. The black box they are so desperately searching for contains a lot of information. I believe that idea has been tossed as improbable.
