Well, new claims that A. Earhart plane is found -

Good quote from another article:

“Not to impugn Ric [Gillespie, the executive director of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR)], but I don’t think he’s found anything on any expedition,” says Dorothy Cochrane, a curator at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum who is responsible for the museum’s history of women in aviation collections.

No, not satellites at all, TIGHAR had a sonar equipped ship sailing around the island a number of months ago taking hundreds of sonar readings. Then went back to port and went through the data.

Not making a judgement on what they found.


However, satellites (even using Google Earth) have been used to make some incredible finds photgraphically, such as undiscovered tombs in Egypt, pyramids in Central America/Mexico, etc.
