This may have been mentioned but does anybody think those new objects may have just been clouds?
When I finally got to see the objects, boy was I disappointed because to me they looked like they could be just part of the clouds. I wasnt convinced it was even debri. Maybe I havent seen the right pictures of it.
Here is a decent short article DigitalGlobe Powers Crowdsourced Hunt For Missing Malaysian Flight 370
DigitalGlobe used its satellites to capture some 3,200 square km of the area where the flight could have gone down....
...it shows the same images to many different people, and if enough people tag the same little square on the grid, an expert will review that area to see if the item of interest is worth investigating.
....the tedious legwork is done by what amounts to throngs of worker bees, thus freeing up the time and resources of the experts to do more sophisticated work.

is anything being reported checked on Tomnod?
I went to google earth and entered my address..image is from last year...in the summer
Tomnod has the area being searched up now.
I am searching here: http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/mh370_indian_ocean/map/140634
This shows where I am searching:

just put in map number 140634 and it shows the area near where the present search efforts are ongoing.

This is digital globe's map's like the two being shown as "possible evidence". Now we can help search for evidence.
According to what I read on Tomnod; which I'm pretty sure I posted 2 threads back; they turned them in Sunday. Sounds like their images being turned in got Australia to look at their own; otherwise it would have happened sooner IMO if it was the other way around.
Tomnod, a crowdsourcing platform powered by satellite operator DigitalGlobe, joined the search for the vanished flight last week, with three million ordinary internet users using the website to scan more than 24,000 square kilometres of satellite imagery to help find the airplane.
Watcher9 - See post #2 above for the answer to your question. I have been doing Tomnod for a couple of months now. I started looking for the missing plane in Idaho. This search is very different from looking on land. I am wondering if Tomnod has the new search area uploaded now. News as of yesterday saying they have abandoned the southern area and now looking some 600 miles northeast and closer to Perth.
Duncan Steel: "Well, it’s a new (update) report from the ATSB, but it doesn’t contain much actually new, because the Independent Group (IG) had already reached essentially the same conclusions and published them here a couple of weeks ago. One wonders whether the two might be related?.... Below we (the IG) show how our recommended end point relates to the location that the ATSB has belatedly arrived at, after wasting millions of dollars surveying a wide area much further NE."
At least they're starting this phase of the search in an area that's received independent corroboration as the most likely area. Additionally, there was a lot of debris sighted there last March, although nothing was left by the time ships got there....
Please discuss images viewed on tomnod here...

The search for a missing Malaysia Airlines flight intensified Thursday in the remote waters of the southern Indian Ocean after a Colorado company discovered that its satellite had captured images of two whitish objects floating in the ocean.
The images taken by DigitalGlobes WorldView-2 satellite were taken Sunday. They show one object that is about 80 feet long and another one that measures 15 feet.
