Forget SETI! Find Jim Gray!!!

Jim Gray went out sailing and never returned. Coastguard gave up on him after a few days. Then Amazon stepped in and uploaded thousands of satellite images of the area where Jim is missing. They ask people to check the images and look for signs of a small boat. I just checked one hundred images for “foreign objects” and it only took me 10 minutes. Imagine actually finding him!

It feels very rewarding to help this way. Give it a try too!
