UPDATE

Australian authorities have just announced they have sighted two objects, via satellite, in the search area. News to be announced by the Prime Minister at a news conference. Ships on the way.

More to come...

Just in from CNN

"The objects are of "reasonable size" and are bobbing up and down the surface of the water, said John Young, general manager of emergency response for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority."

And more from CNN.

"An Australian maritime search official says the largest object he's seen in satellite imagery has been judged to be about 78 feet (24 meters) in size.

"The largest object I've seen has been assessed at 24 meters," said John Young, general manager of emergency response for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

He described the object as "a blob" on the satellite image."

Latest from CNN.

"A flight crew combing the southern Indian Ocean for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 say they're
getting radar hits of "significant size," indicating something lying below the water's surface, ABC News reported Thursday."

Maylasia asked China to search with air assets only. Makes me wonder if there was something Malaysia didn't want China to know about on the plane.

China might keep what it finds.

It's happened before.

The area is known for high winds, and white capped waves could obscure debris, Waddock said.
And on top of that, a storm is approaching the area. It may have foiled one flyover...........................

It has a reputation for housing a collection of floating garbage from around the world, and it could intermingle with plane parts that may be there.
It seems to me that the floating garbage islands (typically a meter below the surface) may keep aircraft debris afloat longer.
