Theres other things that are going on. plus, in fact, a lot of times oceanographers will have equipment in the area that also uses pingers for identification. so there is a multiple of different types of vehicles and things that could cause a ping across that frequency of 37.5 kill can kilohertz. so, again, we dont know exactly how the chinese picked this up, what kind of hydrophone, where it was trailing behind their ship, how deep it was. those are the things that need to be answered. and then...

The story ever sips this news broke and hes joining us live from bangkok with the latest on the search. david? >> reporter: a possible break through in the search for the missing plane, a chinese ship has reported detecting pings which could be coming from the black box of the plane. the official chinese news agency, xinhua, says chinese patrol ship detected pulse signals in the southern indian ocean. a possible ping sound from the planes black box were discovered by the ship in an area outside ...

Theyve located it, but i have to see more data. >> we welcome our viewers who are joining us from around the world as we now simulcast on cnns international network. were talking with simon boxwell who is an oceanographer with the national oceanography center. the question is, if not a pinger from a black box, simon, what else could send up this pulse signal, that according to the chinese state news agency xinhua a chinese patrol ship has detected in the south indian ocean? >> well, a lot of equ...

Pulse signal in the ocean. so a lot of people wondering if that is the black box from malaysia flight 370. also that objects were spotted by chinese air force planes. however, enfamily members of the victims apparently are skeptical about this news today. >> cnns pauline chu is in beijing with the families and we just got this in from jack song whose sister was on board flight 370. he said, theres no piece of debris so how can you find the black box? he does not believe that indeed this frequenc...

The pinger is very limited in range. and the depth there is great. usually the pinger is something you acquire after you determine the debris field, exactly where the plane rests because it can only be detected up to a mile or two. and that, i fear, is the depth that theyre looking at. i hope it is. i really do. the other aspect of it is, i think, i was surprised to hear about debris. usually at that depth, debris comes up really at impact and very little thereafter because of the pressure. so i...

That the chinese ship deployed a black box detector into the water in the southern indian ocean and it picked up a pulse signal, a ping, at 37.5 kilohertz, the same frequency that pings are emitted from flight data recorders. also one of their air force planes spotted white floating objects in that search area. malaysian authorities say theyre trying to verify the report. there is a healthy dose of scepticism about the ping because it came from the chinese reports. angus houston said today that ...

The continuous shift of the search areas day to day. do you attribute that more to either questionable analysis of the information and data? or is this shift appropriate, considering if the plane went down in this area, the currents and the natural movement of water was shift the debris field or elements, as we see here, closer to or farther from the coast of australia? >> i think the key thing for us all is that the only note was the last satellite location of the plane. from there on, theres a...

>> chinese state news agency xinhua is reporting that a chinese patrol ship searching an area of the south indian ocean has detected a pulse signal with a frequency of 37.5 kilohertz per second. so we are, of course, trying to determine, working to determine, as they are, if that pulse is from the pinger of the black box. and we happen to have one here courtesy of g.a. telesis, a company in south florida. guys, if you can take it to it. i want to show where the pinger is. the pinger is in the fr...
