I believe “Unicorn Aerospace” is a very appropriate name for that firm.MH370 Latest: Chinese Satellite Probes Cambodian Jungle for Missing Plane
By Joe Gamp/ News/ World/ Express/ express.co.uk
"CHINA has used a government-endorsed satellite firm to home in on claims that the doomed Malaysian Airlines aircraft MH370 had been located in the Cambodian Jungle.
According to Dailystar.co.uk ,technology expert Ian Wilson said he had located what he believed to be the missing flight - which disappeared suddenly on March 8, 2014.
Using Google satellite imagery, Mr Wilson claimed he had pinpointed the location of the aircraft in Cambodian jungle and said he planned to fly a helicopter to the site of the wreckage.
But following the news on Thursday, Earth observation company Space View has said it scanned the land area to prove the Briton’s claims that the aircraft was located 60km away from capital Pnom Penh.
The company, authorised by the Chinese government, has now published images that it says are the same location of what Mr Wilson believes is the missing Malaysian Airlines plane.
However, the plane that is visible in Mr Wilson’s Google Maps image is not visible in Space View’s cutting-edge satellite technology.
Because of this the Chinese tech company says it has disproved Mr Wilson’s theory.
Space View tweeted: "Stakeholders and bystanders plead Space View to shoot at the site.
"So, we found out three images, shot in 2015, 2016 and 2018 from our archive.
"Sorry, no plane found there."
But despite Space View’s own conclusion, Mr Wilson is still planning to go ahead with his helicopter trip to closely examine the co-ordinates thrown up by the Google satellite.
And although the Chinese company says it has disproved Mr Wilson’s theory, a private investigator and aerospace expert has called for the company to zoom in on the coordinates using different Satellites.
Andre Milne, CEO of Unicorn Aerospace, has challenged Space View to use its own satellite equipment to offer a second opinion....."

How can you land a plane, any plane, with a stall speed of over 100 Miles per hour (160 km per hour) in a jungle, intact enough to show as an airplane?
Not to mention a floating bits found off of Africa?
And that's ignoring satellite tracking signals that put the plane over the ocean, far distant from that location.How can you land a plane, any plane, with a stall speed of over 100 Miles per hour (160 km per hour) in a jungle, intact enough to show as an airplane?
Not to mention a floating bits found off of Africa?
So why were they able to spot it on Google maps?..
"Flying 'over' a deep jungle growth forest to look for an aircraft that could have been on the ground for over four years is virtually useless because of the thick vegetation that will have grown all around and over the aircraft making it impossible to see from the air....."
