Im no expert at interpreting satellite images, but thats a tough sell for my ol' eye balls.

It looks like the sun glinting off of a swell in the water.

at this point, i suppose everything has to be considered though. If you look at it from the right angle it almost looks like a partially submerged portion of a vertical stabilizer.

But i have seen a lot of clouds that looked like bunnies and chickens and only turned out to be water vapor

Be intersting to know if these are infrared or other non-visual wavelength images. If they are just optical cameras then I'd have to agree there's not much to see, but worth a look under the circumstances.

Here's hoping for a positive ID and a step nearer some form of closure for the families should the debris actually be from the plane.

Below is the BBC effort on the matter:

If the length of the debris is correct at 24 meters, width would be around 15-16 meters judging from the image. Is there anything of that size on a 777? Especially after crash?

The images are also four days old, the debris could have drifted anywhere from there.

Could be pices of fuselage or wing plus satellite coverage of the area will probably be increased to cover large areas.

Man, what are you drinking in the cockpit? No way am I going to fly with a pilot that see's bunnies and chickens in the clouds.

The pictures I saw looked like the items in question were floating just below the surface of the water ... perhaps water logged?

That was Sunday and this is Thursday and a storm has just passed through.

I hope they find something I'm tired of the news being Putin or the Malaysian 777 ...

Come on now! That all depends on your POV!

So it was alien abduction all long and on that note that's a rap.

Thanks for your not so insightful findings Mr Postman.

I've just seen the pictures taken by satellite of the missing plane just off Australia. Can't see how they missed it though. Both pieces have bloody great signs stuck to them saying "Possible Object"!
