Steve Fossett

[Bob_VT]

Is anyone else following this story about Steve Fossett missing? I would think with all the stuff we have in space and with the surveillance ability that a photo search could prove helpful.

If the Gov't (any gov't) would point the cameras towards the area and post results to the internet ........ everyone would look. Right now there are multiple aircraft searching and no results.

Yes I realize that most people do not understand how little of an aircraft is remaining after a crash..... aren't there computers that could accomplish the task.

It was Army photo interpreters that discovered the Cuban missile crisis.....

Ahhh it was just an idea......

Re: Steve Fossett

Chances are photos are being taken more often in the desert than they are in Nevada.......

Then again SBN's little buddies do hang out in Area 51!!!!

I've been following it as I'm a pilot. There is no way to know what happened to him, but rest assured, whatever it was, it wasn't good.
