Air crews searched a 26,000 sq km area of the Nevada and California desert for a fifth day yesterday but still had no clue on the whereabouts of missing US adventurer Steve Fossett.

Two aircraft equipped with infrared technology flew throughout Thursday night looking for the 63-year-old millionaire and aviation record-setter whose plane disappeared on Monday as he was scouting sites for a planned attempt to set a land speed record.

Authorities told reporters they had followed up several leads and apparent sightings over the past few days but had turned up nothing promising.
