Satellite Image Anomaly in Gulf of Thailand

Monday, March 10, 2014 13:08

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

We’ve turned up some Landsat-8 satellite images from the area in the Gulf of Thailand, between Malaysia and Vietnam, where Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing a few days ago. Landsat images, at 30-meter resolution, are much more detailed than the twice-daily MODIS images at 250m resolution. The image inset in the map below shows detail from Landsat-8 image P127/R54, taken at 03:27 GMT on March 8. That’s almost exactly 10 hours after air traffic controllers reported their last contact with Flight MH370 (at 16:41 GMT on Friday, March 7).

Nothing in this image jumps out strongly. But there is a faint, diffuse, pale anomaly not far west of the general location where we estimate MH370 was when contact was lost. It appears to be horseshoe-shaped.

The very approximate center of this is located at 8.551422° N latitude / 102.680976° E longitude.

As best I can tell, this anomaly seems to be high-altitude cloud or smoke; there is an even fainter dark anomaly to the west that suggests a shadow. But I have to say, this is quite speculative. It might also be some kind of phytoplankton bloom or other ocean-color feature. And if it is smoke, 10 hours seems like an awfully long time for it to hang around. See for yourself:

Faint pale anomaly in Landsat-8 satellite image taken 10 hours after Flight MH370 last had contact with air traffic controllers. See location on map below. Small white spots are low cumulus clouds (note their matching black shadows offset to the northwest).
