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_ (http://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:

(http://www.livescience.com/blogs/2007/09/09/join-the-search-for-steve-fossettvia-satellite-imagery/)  

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.
