private company claims that it found wreckage of MH 370

Take a look at their website. It sounds like pure snake oil and pseudoscientific psychobabble. http://georesonance.com/georesonance-geo...vices.html

The link to how their technology works is "under construction".

Sounds kind of like this...

Maybe more like this. . .

I haven't read the details, but this technology looks legit.

Isn't this close to your field, Davester?

here are some images; if these images are genuine, they have a pretty good damn resolution, so they should just go and fish it out, no search needed.

that is really cool science, I'd never heard of that technology before

of course if that does turn out to be 370, then there's the problem of the satellite data being wrong, and it's going to make that "cool science" look really sketchy.

Remember the woman who said she looked out the window of a plane flying from South India to Malaysia and saw a plane in the water? She said it was near the Andamans, but she could have been off a bit.

This company's finding is off the coast of Bangladesh? That would be 700-800 or so miles away from the Andaman Islands.

Yeah, first thing that I did when I saw that story was hit their web site. It looks like it was made by a talented high school student with a list of buzzwords s/he had to hit on every page.

The principles that they claim to exploit do not fit the results they claim to get.

They make it seem that they're talking about cutting edge nuclear/magnetic resonance imaging, like a satellite-mounted MRI machine with resolution that can detect the finest mineral deposits. (How much power would that take??)

But have a look at the size of the machine that real scientists use just to look at a few molecules:

I don't think that their "scientists" have solved the energy and scaling problems of such devices. It would take a breakthrough that would make a modern Einstein sh!t himself and babble like an imbecile.

My guess is that they're using cheap magnetometers and liberally adjusting the results in Photoshop. Little more than modern witches with dowsing rods. (With all respect to Wiccans, whom I hope will understand that I'm not referring to them or their religious practices.)

I'm pretty sure the one on the right is going to be a boy.

Is GeoResonance trying to get hired to go look in the Indian Ocean? Wonder what they charge? They apparently did this other research on their own dime.

I mean if they can spot a plane underwater, why not hire them? Unless they can't. Or the depth is too great. have no idea. I tried to look them up and found a few articles about the lead partner, who is Ukrainian. A number of US oil and gas companies have hired them as well as international firms, so who knows.
