aircraft, right here at this australian air force base just outside perth. they re going to be joining the search tomorrow. their cape bls is optical equipment so if they can establish where this large object is, they may well be able to identify, as well. there s a lot of observers on board these flights. the australians are saying it s so important now for observers to actually get sort of vision, getting actual line of sight on these objects, to get an idea of what they might be. so that is going to be a focus. i should tell you that one of the last planes that came back today got a report earlier that there was some debris, some small bits of debris in the field that the search is centered on. the new zealand military plane went out to investigate and couldn t buy this debris but they dropped a marker in and a commercial ship is headed
