Long. sunday a french satellite captured 122 objects, the largest the length of an airplane wig. last week australian and chinese satellites also captureed large floating objects. today japan reported seeing ten square objects by satellite. so for perspective, if these images all come from an area roughly about 400 square miles, problem is strong currents and winds have dispersed or sunk some of the object toes making them difficult to find. meantime, a new focus on the pilot.
