Indications wreckage from that plane? >> you know, wolf, we heard this before when we heard the 300 objects. the 122 objects. and those seem to be debris fields. again, trying to manage expectations. we have been down this road before. and certainly everybody is hopeful. you know, some of the pieces, single pieces, may or may not really be part of the wreckage. we just have to wait. this one, fortunately, is close enough to a ship that's being repositioned that will have hopefully have it in our hands tomorrow. >> if it is wreckage, peter, and you've investigated a lot of these disasters, is i...

Have gone through and ended up. >> how many of those debris fields spotted by planes or satellites could have drifted from that area? would this rule out any of the potential debris fields? >> firstly, i would not use the term debris field associated with the satellite imagery. what we do is to seek expert advice to advise us which of those are credible enough to search on. you might recall we've done some of that lately, and not found any objects. does that answer your question? >> is the previous search areas to the south, are they active or now abandoned? >> we have moved on to those search...

Aircraft is likely to have gone through, and ended up. >> how many of these debris fields could have drifted from that area? >> potential debris field? >> i would not use the term "debris field" associated with satellite imagery. the imagery has seen lots of objects that may or may not be objects what. we do is to seek expert advice from australian geo station intelligence organization to advice us which of those are credible enough to search on. you might recall we've done some of that lately and not found any objects. does that answer your question? >> is the search area previous areas south...

It looks like the debris would probably be along the west coast of australia in about three months. debris generally moves about ten miles a day. the debris field, i would expect to be 10 or 20 miles. and that debris field is mixed in with lots of other debris fields from container spills and, you know, all kinds of stuff. the ocean is very patchy. and she gathers all the debris that's given to her into dust bunnies. so these dust bunnies are out there and there are probably hundreds. so it's easy to have debris of various kinds in different patches. but there is going to be a patch from this ...
