CrowdSourcing is an interesting term and implies that a lot of people looking at mediocre resolution video or satellite imagery will make the resolution better. Knowing where the Fossett crash site was located, did anyone go back and look at the satellite imagery on google earth to see if the aircraft could be detected? In the case of a lost hiker, what do people expect to see in G.E. resolution imagery? It's digitized imagery with definite limitations and not a high resolution print.
OT: Anyone else here shoot Kodak Panatomic-X BW film back before digital cameras replaced those archaic film cameras? That was high resolution film.
