[Iwasthere]

An Indian IT expert believes he may have found a satellite photo of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight, the Hindu newspaper reported today.

1. I don't understand what I'm looking at.

There's the white plane shape and the colored plane shape. So similar.
I'm less sure than the IT expert who spotted it.

8. I'm thinking the colored one

might the planes shadow.

But this could be some other plane coming in for a landing.

10. Except the text of the article referred to the plane's markings as matching the airline?

If I were looking at this image without prep, I don't think I would see planes at all. Will certainly concede to anybody who has a better perspective on this though. I'm just talking.

2. What's up with the rainbow shadow?

3. he says it's an area used by india's defense so if it was

wouldn't they know about it .

4. wow.

The image showed a plane, possibly a Boeing 777, over the Andaman Islands, India's strategic islands in the Bay of Bengal.

''I am confident that the image is that of the missing plane because of many reasons,'' Anoop told the Hindu.

''First giveaway is the fact that the image was captured just above a forest and very close to the Shibpur air strip of Andaman Islands.

''The air strip is exclusively used by the defence forces with no permission for civilian aircraft in this area.''

He said the image appears to show the plane flying extremely low.

''Most importantly, the standard scale measurement and colour of the missing plane matches with that of the plane in the image,'' Anoop said.

Authorities have yet to comment on the picture.

5. Does anyone understand what the two pics are? Also, would satellite imaging show the pic as if the

plane is standing still? If anyone knows I'd love an answer.

16. One of the images is a silhouette reference for a 777 to confirm the photo image is the right shape.

[okaawhatever]

17. Okay, great thanks. nt

6. Interesting

So if it landed why has no one reported it?
I hope for the families this is a good sign.

7. That seems to be broad daylight*

It left Malaysia at ~1am local time, pretty sure it would have been dark if/when it reached the Andaman Islands.

(*unless it's a doctored IR image)

9. wasn't it flying at night?

[Iwasthere]

15. Actually the last signals were after sunrise in the Andamans.

[warrior1]

11. they need to verify that this isn't doctored

But it could be a great lead

[meanit]

12. I think the white plane figure is imposed

as a reference to what a 777 actually looks like vs. the blurry color image.

[Bosonic]

14. It wasn't there

Apparently this has been debunked; image > 2 years old (in addition to the broad daylight aspect)

Satellite image reported on by Indian newspaper does not show Flight 370, is at least 2 years old (h/t @imbeccable)
