Prime Minister Tony Abbott has announced objects possibly related to the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines plane have been found in the southern Indian Ocean.
Kinda similar...(from a Tomnod map).
Wonder if the U.S. P-8 Poseidon & the Australian P-3 are using surface radar or may have dropped a sonobuoy?
Oh, thank you Lord, we are most assuredly saved. The truth will be presented to us in mere moments from now!
/S
Next 48 hours everyone will focus attention to the west of Oz.
Good. Maybe it is the plane.
Maybe not.
If somebody messing the MSM? The anti submarine plane is a P-3 Orion not Oreon. Many talking heads have been calling it the Oreon for days.

lol! I wanted to reach out and bitch-slap Shep Smith when he pre-empted ‘Red Eye’ on FNC this a.m. Throughout the hour, he kept saying “OR-e-on”. Idiot!
btw, the aircraft referred to is not the P-3, but the P-8.
To show my age, I’ll say that before and after my active duty Navy service I was in a Naval Reserve Squadron that flew P-2V Neptunes, which were not pressurized.
Standard length of a shipping container is 40 feet. The largest available for ships are 45 feet. Even rail containers are only 53 feet long at most.
FOX is all over this, over 18 ships and scores of aircraft are all racing to this location.
Another Hussein, Malaysian Air Traffic official is hyping big time that this debris is Flight 370, seems like a whole lotta effort sending assets without first confirming, all they have to do is send aircraft, confirm its not a dead whale carcass or a shipping container.
Rogue waves are pretty common in every ocean and can create quite a commotion.No telling what image the would create.
I am quitting Team Hijacking and joining Team Electrical Fire.
I suspect that the crew experienced a fire, set the Autopilot in the direction of a nearby airfield, and was then overcome by smoke, with the aircraft continuing on the last inputted course until it ran out of fuel.
All of the supposed timeline problems will eventually be revealed to be the result of misreporting combined with the reluctance of the crew to declare an in-flight emergency.
Spotting/identifying either one can be very deceptive. Birds can be picked up by radar,debris is harder to register and even tougher to tell what it is until you get right on top of it. Almost anything you can imagine can be floating in the ocean. Especially after storms,that's when everything shows up. Trying to positively identify stuff floating in the ocean is really tough until you get right on top of it. Even then there is usually stuff floating just under the surface as well.
You are right. The major base for them is right here at Jacksonville NAS. Not seeing too many P-3 Orions as the new P-8’s are now getting to be commonplace.
Except one little bitty problem with that, it is now learned the “All-right, good night” transmission came 12 minutes after it maneuvered the Bat Turn heading back over Malaysia.
The RAAF Hercules that entered the area about two hours ago was specifically going to drop buoys both for drift marking, and to try and locate any pinging transponder from flight recorders.
If they get a pinging signal, that will tell us a lot.
Can’t think of a better “tourism” draw right now. LMAO - or maybe diversion
“Hey!!!! No, it’s over here.”
P8 has just returned to Perth, nothing spotted or found.

10:52: Reuters news agency is reporting that a Norwegian ship has reached an area in the Indian Ocean where possible debris may have been spotted.
10:57 am
Here’s a bit more info on that Norwegian ship reaching the search area:
Norwegian car carrier Hoegh St. Petersburg has reached the area in the southern Indian Ocean off Australia where two floating objects, suspected to be debris from the missing Malaysian jetliner, were spotted, the ship owner’s said.
The car carrier was on its way from Madagascar to Melbourne when it got a request from Australian authorities to assist in investigating the objects spotted by satellite four days ago in one of the remotest parts of the globe, around 2,500 km (1,500 miles) southwest of Perth.

Heavy clouds and rain in the search area. Will be night soon. Closest ship ( Oz Navy ) to the sighting area won’t be there until a day or more from now.
