Why has no one considered thermal imaging to find Flight 370? Ive been watching the endless theories proposed about where Flight 370 may be or which methods could be used to locate this missing plane. Im surprised that no one has suggested utilizing image records from our thermal imaging and reconnaissance satellites which weve been using to detect missile launches and other heat emitting activity on earth since the time of the cold war. Some examples would be ASTER systems (Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) as used on our EOS (earth observation satellite) launched in December of 1999. In addition to these older systems, we continue to launch spy satellites (as Im sure other nations continue to do as well) into space. Most recently we launched the secret NROL-38 satellite which, although classified, is rumored to have highly advanced communications monitoring and thermal imaging capabilities. There are many other satellites positioned around the globe which have a constant eye on areas such as China, Russia, the Middle East, Etc. It seems to me we should be able to review EOS-type satellite information from the day Flight 370 vanished to identify its heat signature then track that signature through the entirety of the flight from takeoff to landing or possible crash. Combined with other known variables this might be a viable way of locating this missing plane and giving the victims families some closure. No?
