STARTLING new evidence has virtually pinpointed the location of MH370 1258 days since it disappeared.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has today released an explosive new report that effectively narrows the search zone for the missing plane down to an area half the size of Melbourne.
GeoScience Australia has been examining four satellite images taken in the weeks after the plane went missing in the area identified late last year as MH370s likely resting spot.
They found 12 objects in those images that they deemed man-made and 28 that they regard as possibly man-made.
The images were taken by a French Military satellite in late March 2014 but were discarded by authorities. The ATSB were not involved in the search at that time.
The drift modelling initially released late last year identified an area of 25,000sq km just outside the original search area.
Todays report combines a refinement of that drift modelling as well as the discarded satellite images to narrow the likely search zone down to an area of just 5000sq km.

Damn Russians!
Illinois nazis did it.
“They found 12 objects in those images that they deemed man-made and 28 that they regard as possibly man-made. “
Which amounts to making the location “virtually certain” to be where the plane went down. Who’s kidding whom? Such flimsy basis makes NOTHING “virtually certain” other than someone wants some governments to give them millions to prove this “virtual certainty”.
If this was hours after the flight disappeared, I’d say O.K. It’s too late. The ONLY VIRTUAL CERTAINTY today is that everyone on board the plane is dead, and now may they rest in peace, and may we all rest in the peace of that.
Lol!
The newspaper report is not the ATSB reports which are quite a bit more substantial and go into a lot more detail as to why they have reached the conclusions they have.
The Pleiades imagery is only one part of the reason they have reached their conclusions.
The reports are publically available - you may still not agree with them if you look at them, but basing things solely on this newspaper report is not really looking at the whole picture.
This is a quibble, but they say “virtually” not “nearly”. Virtual is used so imprecisely it has lost all meaning. But “getting closer” describes the situation.
Part of the problem is that a lot of crap is just floating around down in that region. No beach to wash up on.
The plan and passengers are in Iran.
If shoddy journalism - GIGO.
Journalist should not make bold claims unless they are going to do the journalistic work to supply what will back them up.
I’m just the messenger that they didn’t supply it.
5000 sq km is 1930 sq mi, or 44 miles square. And if they're looking in the Indian Ocean, IMHO they'll come up empty -- but if t hey find it, they get $70 million.
I hate Illinois Nazis!
Call CNN - they’ll send out their garbage experts...
