bobbing up and down out of the surface. one thing that is frustrating is the objects in the satellite images were taken four days ago and they may be difficult to locate at this point but they are believed to be as large as 78 feet wide. right now, officials are calling it this their best lead. however there is reportedly poor visibility in the area and the waters there are believed to be much deeper than originally thought and talking about two and a half miles deep. young also spoke about what happens if the planes are able to locate and identify debris. the most likely scenario is an aircraft will find an object if it is findable and then report back at an accurate gps position and a ship proceed to the area and attempt to see it. that would be our first chance to get a close-up look at whatever the objects might be and progressively advance the
it s now flying back. it does not see anything that confirms there is any type of degree there. at the same time, a p-3 goes out from the australian military. looks and he doesn t see anything and has additional problems because of the technology they are using with the weather. the u.s. doesn t really sort of have that problem but they don t see anything and now that aircraft is returning. i don t know the status of the p-3 from the new zealand navy. in addition to that, there is a c-130, a hercules, it flies low, slow, it s ugly, but what its goal is to get into the area where, hopefully, there is this debris and it can drop down drop sounders that mark the area so they don t lose the area. at the same time, there is a naval vessel from the australian vessel steaming there but it s slow and it will take days to
are assi john young spoke to reporters earlier this morning on this. the relatives are distinct on the imagery. i don t pretend to be an expert but those expert indicate they are credible sightings. the indication to me is objects of reasonable size and probably awash with water bobbing up and down out of the surface. the objects in the satellite images which were taken four days ago may be difficult to locate. but are believed to be as large as 78 feet wide. right now, officials are calling this their best lead. however, there is reportedly poor visibility in the area and the waters there are believed to be much deeper than originally thought. perhaps even more than two miles deep. young also spoke about what happens if the planes are able to locate and identify debris. the most likely scenario is that an aircraft will find an
ourselves. they may not be from the aircraft. matt taylor from cnbc asian pacific reporter appreciate that very much. we have a lot of different things pushing against this investigation. timing aspects in terms of getting to the potential scene which is 1 thousa,500 mile and having to leave in two hours. it is being seen now as the best lead. debris found outside the australian perimeter, outside the perimeter just a bit but within the flight path in the indian ocean. so i want to go to bobby gosch and tom casey in a minute on a theory in debate this morning. first, the fbi has officially joined the investigation into the two men flying the missing jet. authorities are looking into the pilot and his first officer for more clues as to what happened on flight 370.
some of it. kerry sanders is joining us. let s talk about the objects that have been described as credible, at least in leading search investigators to this portion of the indian ocean. there are two different satellite objects that appeared. one being ruffle 78 feet long and the other 15 feet long, correct? that cis correct . they were taken by satellite images. we are looking at photographs taken from orb bitting satellite with decent resolution but not the resolution you would like to determine what exactly it is. is so that information is then shared with those that have the aircraft, which in this case the australians are sharing it with their own navy and going to the new zealand navy and u.s. navy. those are where the p-8s and p-3s are going. the u.s. sends its p-8 out there. it looks and looks in the target area for four hours.
