Steve Fossett has been missing in the Nevada desert since he went for a short flight last Monday and never returned. You can help find him. The search is going on and not diminishing, although coverage on the news has scaled back somewhat. A week sounds like a long time, but he is a stubborn, knowledgeable survivalist. If anyone can come through this it will be him, but he is undoubtedly in need of assistance or he would have hiked out by now. So it is vital that the search for him continue and in that area you can all help.

They are using a systematic search of satellite images and anyone with a computer who can examine the images can help. All the details are on his website: www.stevefossett.com . They are also asking for helicopters and observers to aid in the search directly. Internet satellite image analysis: 'The 'Amazon Mechanical Turk' internet-based satellite image analysis project continues in its efforts to find Steve. To offer your help, please go to:

There you will be shown sample images of a similar aircraft and an actual recent single satellite image to review. You will be asked to note if there are any objects that resemble an airplane like the one Steve Fossett was last seen flying on Monday. The instructions to report are straightforward.
You can also see the same area in context on Google Earth, although to ensure you see the most recent image of the assigned area on Google Earth you will need to follow additional instructions.
We would like once again to express our deep thanks to all who have volunteered their time and equipment, to those are participating in the Amazon Mechanical Turk project as well as to those who have sent their heartfelt best wishes and prayers for Steve.
