The wayback machine has just 4 archives of their website going back to 2011.

The oldest, Jan 28, 2011, maybe some other company owned the domain then.

June 4, 2013, the current company, website under construction.
https://web.archive.org/web/201306041736...nance.com/

Jan 4, 2014, still under construction
https://web.archive.org/web/201401040201...nance.com/

Apr 30, 2014, (tomorrow, wayback machine seems to be bidirectional), and the archived site seems to have more info than the live version.

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.

And a perfect direct south orientation, and the wreckage seems to be fully intact.

Found one article from exactly a year ago about them.

Pavel Kursa seems to be the guy running it.

Mr Kursa, who has been in and out of Australia since 1998, said he was not a scientist or physicist but had received military education and had specialised in radar technology in his now-home country Ukraine.

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.
True, but they were flying at c. 35k feet, and the woman might have just guessed at their location.

Her flight was from southern India to Malaysia, right? I don't know the flight path but what would they be doing near Bangladesh?

Depends on the flight path:



Could easily have curved slightly north; depends on the standard routes, and where in South India it originated. I remember when my wife flew to Nevada from Boston, she was surprised when they went up by the Great Lakes.

"Dalelah says she looked at the in-flight monitors in the cabin that showed the plane was over the Indian Ocean at the time. It had just passed the South Indian city of Chennai."

Chennai is 1,200 miles from Bangladesh. I don't think the plane drifted underwater from off coast of Chennai to 100 miles off the coast of Bangladesh within a day or two.

Who knows maybe they should be looking off the coast of Chennai, but so far there is nothing to corroborate that lady's story.

LD: Certainly a distance of 100 miles makes the connection less plausible. I was going on the subhead in the Mail story that read:

The site - 1000 miles from Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal - is at the northern tip of the initial search area

to which the arrow on the map would seem to correspond. However, further down in the body of the story, I read:

Tech firm GeoResonance claims its sensor technology has found the wreckage of a plane in the Bay of Bengal, 118 miles south of Bangladesh. . .

which seems to be confirmed elsewhere, e.g. here:

http://english.astroawani.com/news/show/...h-31-34972

The distance is cited as 190 km, which is a little over 100 miles.

Whatever, the GeoResonance report is certainly worth pursuing. They claim they sent it to the relevant authorities back on March 31st, and received no replies, which could be a scandal in itself.

GeoResonance Managing Director Pavel Kursa, citing intellectual property concerns, would not explain how the imaging works.

CNN aviation expert Miles O'Brien said GeoResonance's claims are not supported by experts. "My blood is boiling," he told CNN's "New Day." "I've talked to the leading experts in satellite imaging capability at NASA, and they know of no technology that is capable of doing this. I am just horrified that a company would use this event to gain attention like this."

He called on company officials to offer "a full explanation" for their assertion, which he said appeared to be based on "magic box" technology.

Sending investigators to the Bay of Bengal would draw away from the limited resources that are focused in the southern Indian Ocean, O'Brien said.

But that won't stop them from going, he predicted. "I think they have to," he said. "It's a public relations thing now."
