Hyderabad: Hyderabad techief Anoop Madhav Yeggina has found satellite image of a large aircraft flying very low above the Andaman Islands on March 8. Could it be Boeing 777?
An IT analyst by profession, Anoop Madhav Yeggina has probably stumbled upon a vital clue about the missing Malaysian plane, The Hindu has reported.
Yeggina has been rummaging through innumerable images of DigitalGlobe Satellite QB02 over several days till he came upon an image that dumbfounded him.
He told The Hindu:
“I am confident that the image is that of the missing plane because of many reasons. First giveaway is the fact that the image was captured just above a forest and very close to the Shibpur air strip of Andaman Islands. The air strip is exclusively used by the defence forces with no permission for civilian aircraft in this area. A close look at the image will reveal if it is flying extremely low so much so that the clouds are above it which suggests it was done to avoid detection by radar. Most importantly, the standard scale measurement and colour of the missing plane matches with that of the plane in the image,” said Mr Anoop.
The 29-year-old is among lakhs across the globe involved in the ‘crowd-sourcing’ project to find the missing plane, the report said.
