Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 - Missing Plane

This thread has some interesting things in it, and summarizes a lot of the online theorizing about the videos:

**A Crucial Detail: Coordination of Satellite Video Coordinates**

A subtle yet crucial detail that may have been previously overlooked or misunderstood pertains to the coordinates displayed in the satellite video. Contrary to initial interpretations, these coordinates do not represent the satellite’s location but instead seem to indicate the Viewfinder’s focus. As observed when panning across the screen, the coordinates dynamically adjust, suggesting that they correspond to the focal center of the displayed imagery. A closer look at this detail is accessible in this [video](https://reddit.com/r/AirlinerAbduction2014/comments/169kk3g/you_missed_this_critical_detail_the_coordinates/…), where the shifting coordinates have been meticulously highlighted.

Manufacturing a hoax with such an intricate detail seems profoundly challenging. It necessitates a precise awareness of the aircraft’s position—an insight that, to my understanding, wasn’t publicly available when the video surfaced. Notably, the video emerged on May 19 by a user named Regicide, while the earliest trajectories from the Inmarsat Satellite were publicly disclosed only on May 27, 2014, as illustrated in these [BBC](https://bbc.com/news/world-asia-27576409…) and [CNN](https://cnn.com/2014/05/20/world/asia/malaysia-missing-plane/index.html…) reports, with a comprehensive 47-page document available [here](https://cnn.com/interactive/2014/05/world/mh370-inmarsat-data/…).

The individual who captured this footage seems to have had privileged access to a primary satellite feed, enabling meticulous focus on specific regions within the satellite’s coverage expanse. This peculiar detail insinuates a potential internal leak of critical information.

Here is a systematic presentation of the varying coordinates featured in the video:
- START: 8.834301, 93.19492
- STABILIZE 2: 8.83182, 93.194021
- STABILIZE 3: 8.828827, 93.19593
- STABILIZE 4: 8.825964, 93.199423
- STABILIZE 5: 8.824041, 93.204795
- STABILIZE 6: 8.824447, 93.209753
- STABILIZE 7: 8.823323, 93.21725
- STABILIZE 8: 8.823368, 93.221609

When these coordinates are integrated into Google Maps, they unveil a remarkable consistency, congruent with the video’s panning motions. This congruence facilitates mathematical enthusiasts in potentially deciphering probable altitudes and trajectories by delineating conceivable view cones based on the evolving coordinates and viewing angles.#mh370 #portal #disclosure #uap #technology #ufox #ufotwitter #uap #nhi #mystery #unsolved #research #discussion #unknown #ufo #bizarre

Efficient detection and tracking of moving objects in geo-coordinates​


Abstract​

We present a system to detect and track moving objects from an airborne platform. Given a global map, such as a satellite image, our approach can locate and track the targets in geo-coordinates, namely longitude and latitude obtained from geo-registration. A motion model in geo-coordinates is more physically meaningful than the one in image coordinates. We propose to use a two-step geo-registration approach to stitch images acquired by satellite and UAV cameras. Mutual information is used to find correspondences between these two very different modalities. After motion segmentation and geo-registration, tracking is performed in a hierarchical manner: at the temporally local level, moving image blobs extracted by motion segmentation are associated into tracklets; at the global level, tracklets are linked by their appearance and spatio-temporal consistency on the global map. To achieve efficient time performance, graphics processing unit techniques are applied in the geo-registration and motion detection modules, which are the bottleneck of the whole system. Experiments show that our method can efficiently deal with long term occlusion and segmented tracks even when targets fall out the field of view.
 
Possibly only a promotion for an upcoming BBC documentary and the Ocean Infinity firm, this article focuses on Richard Godfrey, a retired engineer who believes Weak Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR) could be used to locate where MH370 hit the water.

Exploration firm Ocean Infinity have put themselves forward to search the seabed again:

The technology he is pioneering uses something called Weak Signal Propagation Reporter, known as WSPR, an open source computer programme recording the location of weak radio signals between amateur radio operators. Tiny changes in these signals could have been caused by air disruption from aeroplanes, Godfrey says.

By plotting these minute changes, he believes he can discern the course of MH370 much more accurately than previous attempts made using techniques such as putting a piece of plane wing in the sea to track how it drifts with the current.

It’s a complicated concept that most without expertise won’t fully understand – but he claims he has narrowed down a search area to 30 square kilometres, to an area of the Southern Indian Ocean just outside where previous efforts have scoured the sea bed.

Researchers at Liverpool University are also trying to prove the efficacy of using WSPR to track planes.
Professor Simon Maskell told the documentary it is ‘completely conceivable’ that it can be used for this purpose.


He said his team is creating a computer programme which will attempt to track every plane in the sky over a 24-hour period using the radio signals.

‘If it achieves a high success rate it will be compelling evidence that the technique works,’ he said.
‘If WSPR works we will know where the plane was when it hit the ocean, and then we can go and and get it. And that will be a great day.’
