sunday could have floated. this particular field is about 60 miles this access southwest to northeast. but the pattern doesn t really go to the north and does go to the south. again, about 60 miles. 60 miles in each direction. what about the field of 300 objects spotted by a thai satellite monday in the same vicinity. in this projection, it s moved about 60 miles to the north, 65 miles south. you can see the entire field moved east. a key question, if gurley s team could project forward in time, could they track backwards to march 8th, where the signals were sent, sea where the plane hit the ocean. it s more difficult because of the amount of time. now on day twenty. good news, what the time represents in realtime. australian ship s success near an area where the debris may be based on the 23rd are
