I didn't say it wasn't worth taking a look. Of course they should
go check it out, if they can find it again. Just that from the
moment I heard this and saw the pics, I thought it was doubtful.
Have you seen the pics? I'm not sure that it's even anything other
than waves and maybe some foam. As for the pic resolution, it's not
a spy satellite or something with secret resolution. It's the
DigitalGlobe commericial satellite, same one used by Google Earth
and the same one you can go search yourself on the Tomnod website.
I'm taking bets that they never find whatever this was.

It's possible the pictures shown to the public were not the ones used.

I admittedly don't know much about satellite photos, except for looking
at my house occasionally on Google Earth. If these photos from the
various countries were taken at different times and different systems,
could they all be looking at the same few objects? Are the various
satellite systems' calibration the same? (Like could an object look one
size on system A and a different size on system B, so both discoveries
are actually the same object?).
