Courtney Love is doing her part to help authorities in the search for the missing plane from Malaysia Airlines, flight MH370, which went missing earlier this month as it embarked on a journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

In fact, the rocker is doing a bit more than just help with the search: she’s already located the missing plane! Ladies and gentlemen, step aside, Detective Courtney Love is on the case and she knows what is what.

The photo above was posted to Love’s Facebook and it’s a snapshot of Tomnod, an online satellite imagery map website that anyone can access in the hope of offering authorities clues about the whereabouts of the plane.

Just in case you’re not seeing what Love is seeing oh so clearly, she’s drawn arrows too.

“I'm no expert but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick. Prayers go out to the families #MH370 and its [sic] 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 writes in a post to the pic.

While it’s easy to mock her – which many are already doing – her fans have gone on the defensive about her post: even if she’s completely off the mark (which she probably is), at the very least, she is doing something to help.

In the end, if we all do that, perhaps the plane will be located. Or, as Courtney put it in a very recent interview, “I really doubt aliens took it. It's got to be somewhere.”
