'I'm no expert but this looks like a plane and an oil slick': Courtney Love makes claim to have 'located' missing MH370



It has been missing since March 8 after vanishing during its journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, sparking a mass international search effort and thousands of conspiracy theories.



And now, none other than Courtney Love has weighed in with her own verdict on where the Malaysian airlines plane MH370 has disappeared to.



Alongside a photograph of satellite imagery from crowd sourcing website Tomnod, Courtney wrote: 'I'm no expert but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick.'

Is this the missing plane? Courtney Love posted a snapshot of an area of the ocean she believed to contain the remains of the MH370 on her Facebook page, Monday

Helpfully, the rocker marked in red where she believed the oil spots and the plane were lying in wreckage.

Eager to help: Courtney Love, pictured last month, says she has become a little obsessive' about finding the missing plane



'[It's] like a mile away Pulau Perak, where they 'last' tracked it 5°39'08.5"N 98°50'38.0"E but what do I know?' she added.



Thrilled with her 'discovery', the singer retweeted several news articles reporting her post, telling NY Mag's Daily Intelligencer she had become 'a little obsessive' with the search for the plane.



'I went to the satellite site and just uploaded tons and tons of pictures,' she told the publication. 'I really doubt aliens took it. It's got to be somewhere.'

Satellite company DigitalGlobe uploaded high-resolution satellite and aerial images to its Tomnod site that lets people explore the seas for clues about the crash, as well signs of a wreckage or oil slick.

Images are then tagged by users and analysed by experts before the most significant sightings are sent to the search teams in Asia



'I mean I don't know anything about aviation per se,' Courtney told the magazine. 'I saw an article asked people to help search on Tomnod.com so I decided to give it a shot.

'I figured a plane would still be leaking some fuel so I searched for signs of an oil slick. I found one and there appeared to be an object nearby. I don't know if it is the plane or not, but I figured I'd do my part and bring some awareness to the site, for the sake of all the families involved.

'I hope they find the plane, I pray they're still alive, it's sad and my heart goes out to all those involved. It's the least I can do.'

Unfortunately, Courtney's discovery has been previously ruled out by the Tomnod website.



'Although it is still an interesting clue, it is looking much more like the other boats operating in the region,' the website said. 'Keep up the good work.'

High hopes: Courtney retweeted news reports about her claim to have located the plane
