(CNN) -- A Chinese patrol ship looking for signs of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in the southern Indian Ocean discovered Saturday a pulse signal with a frequency of 37.5 kHz, state news agency Xinhua reported. "That is the standard beacon frequency" for both so-called black boxes -- the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, said Anish Patel, president of pinger manufacturer Dukane Seacom. "They're identical." But experts cautioned that no confirmation had been made that the signal was linked to the missing plane. "This could be a variety of things," said oceanographer Simon Boxall, who said the frequency is used by a variety of instruments. "We've had a lot of red herrings, hyperbole on this whole search," the lecturer in ocean and earth science at the University of Southampton told CNN. "I'd really like to see this data confirmed." He added, "It could be a false signal."

LOL. What’s he hiding in that hair?
Horns
The Asian version of Carrot Top!
is the one on the right “Captain Wee Ah Sooscrewed:?
Das Limpet!
Off the topic, your comment reminds me of one of those "finding bigfoot shows". Where they found all this evidence, but the group forget the precise tool or instrument to continue the search with the newly found evidence. Therefore, they have to leave, and come back to that spot on another day.
But but but....the plane is in Pakistan! Remember the old senile ex-military guy who said he had a source? lol
What purpose would be served? If they don’t have the equipment to dive, they would just be in the way when proper equipment show up.
Malaysian authorities have said they are still stumped over what caused the plane to deviate from its course.
Hows about -- THE PILOT
It certainly wasn't caused by the mangosteens or the ticket agent.
“LOL. What’s he hiding in that hair?”
His true height. Or that he is a conehead.
Hank Johnson is concerned that the very heavy Boeing 777 could either cause an underwater earthquake and/or cause Australia to tip over if we don’t pull that 5000 pound plane out of the Spacific Ocean within 72 hours.

HA..! I was trying to come up with a “Hank Johnson Quote”, but you beat me to it..”Spacific Ocean”..fabulous!
Bullcrap. Black boxes last at maximum, 30 days. It’s been....oh, wait, 28 days. My bad. I better not post this.
This needs to have a drinking game. How soon will they say they can’t find it or it wasn’t the plane or the roport was a hoax or....
I would also have black box(es) that ejected upon the airliner’s contact with water, and they would be buoyant.
“Remember the old senile ex-military guy who said he had a source? lol”
Yes, the good General blew the last shred he had over this one.
Incredibly stupid.
Don't planes fly into Iran all the time? Wouldn't it be a whole lot simpler, quieter and more efficient to simply have the Iranians make up some story about finding drugs on a flight and having to confiscate the plane? Or for the Iranian government to simply buy a passenger plane?
With modern GPS technology, that’s not necessary unless the source is moving.
You make an excellent point.
There are hundreds of flights to and from Iran every day.
