Flight MH370: Chinese and Australian ships draw blank (objects recovered not related to MH370)
BBC ^ | 29 Mar 14 | BBC

Posted on 03/29/2014 10:52:44 AM PDT by xzins

A Chinese and an Australian ship have failed to identify remains from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight after their first day in a new search area.

The two ships retrieved objects from the Indian Ocean but none was confirmed to be from missing flight MH370, Australia's maritime authority said.

Chinese aircraft also flew over the area, north-east of the previous zone, and have spotted more objects.

The airliner disappeared on 8 March with 239 people on board.

Chinese patrol ship Haixun 01 and Australia's HMAS Success "reported they have retrieved a number of objects from the ocean but so far no objects confirmed to be related to MH370 have been recovered",

snip

Eight aircraft also took part in the operation. One Chinese plane reported spotting spotted three orange, white and red objects floating in the sea.

Some of the objects seen in the area have been very small, and officials cautioned that they may be sea junk.

Amsa said that "at least one distinctive fishing object has been identified".

I put in my two sense and decided because of the mass of it that it was debris from a tsunami. Which one?? Probably the really big one a few years back Indonesia??). I think as the ocean floor churned and released a whole bunch of cr**.

And CNN actually shows the trash being picked up by a net and they have to “Examine” it..seriously, if they spot something and it needs to be examined its NOT from the plane..doesn’t take a genius to figure out if a piece of the wreckage has been spotted or not

One of the best parts of Close Encounters. I had been a UFO fanatic, so this part was awesome.

LOL!

Frankly, I’m still of the opinion that it’s in Pakistan; the last verified contact with the plane was when it turned northwest, and the rest of these are either “possible” or even “faint possible” contacts or projections of its location on the base of such possible contacts.

The fact that the Malaysian government recently mentioned that there is a chance the passengers may still be alive makes me think this search is all a giant red herring.

I am of the opinion that the powers that be don’t have a clue, and if they do, they’re just leading the public on a snipe hunt

Hank Whitmore was great on Greta last night. He basically said, since we have no real data to justify searching in the south Indian Ocean anyway, let’s just move the search area off the coast of Kuala Lumpur and we can search right on the beach. Save everybody a lot of aggravation.

I think they have a clue. But this is most definitely an epic snipe hunt.

They’re looking in the wrong place. The plane is buried in the end zone at Giants Stadium.

Either they have more than a clue and they just don’t want us to know it...or, as you say, they have no clue and are saying something simply to say it.

I just found a snipe in my back yard. Somebody call them and tell them to call off the search.
