Possible MH370 debris sighting in SIO
Satellite Imagery data
Here is some satellite photographic imagery of possible MH370 debris captured in the Southern Indian Ocean. (Most of the links are no longer active because Tomnod has archived all this data unfortunely, however I have made screen captures below.)

DigitalGlobe Imagery
Here are some comparison images between the Tomnod image maps online and the maps listed on the DigitalGlobe website. This comparison of cloud formations proves that they are both from the same image and the Metadata of the image tells us the debris's approximate location.
Remember that dimensions of these objects are approximate due to perspective and veiwing angle, you cannot get a precise measurement because of this but we can see that these objects are well within the ballpark measurements (see Figire 15) and geometric shapes to make them qualify as potential 777-200 debris parts.

Here is an excellent debris sighting report sent to me by Elizabeth Fortuin and Carlos Ponte documenting debris pieces they have found in various Tomnod image maps.

FIGURE 14: Here is an object captured by DigitalGlobe, and publish by the Australian Government, from March 16th, 2014 just to the West of the other debris pieces on this blog. If this piece is associated with these other debris pieces it indicates that the debris field was moving from West to East along the 43S Latitude.
Figure 15: Here is a graphic published be the Australian Government showing where several debris fields were spotted in March 2014 by satellite.

Satellite Imagery MetadataI just wanted to add here the satellite image info (metadata) for the three of the debris pieces shown on this blog in case any future explorers or researchers would like to purchase and obtain the original satellite imagery data from Maxar (formally DigitalGlobe) website.
Tailfin piece is located in the image at the coordinates -42.9423S Lat, 96.5976E Lon and the catalog number is 103001002D17D900. Tomnod Map 18bxhyb
Nose Cone piece is located in this image at the coordinates -43.4994S Lat, 95.7869E Lon and the catalog number is 103001002EC7F600. Tomnod Map 18sx2gy67.
Fuselage piece is located in the image at the coordinates -43.9317S Lat, 96.1227E Lon and the catalog number is TBD. Here is a screenshot from Tomnod image of this piece that was captured on March 26th, 2014. I have not as of yet been able to find the Maxar catalog number for this satellite image. If any one knows please forward to me in the comments, thanks. Tomnod Map 18rx1uy37
