That showed about 300 objects, some as long as 40 feet. so the circumstantial evidence is building off one or two debris fields. yesterday we had fresh images from the french showi ining 122 objects and that was about 200 miles from where the thai satellite photographs were taken this week. so circumstantial evidence is building. the planes simply can't get there. and so far, there isn't a single piece of debris that has been positively identified, photographed close up, never mind recovered. so it is a race against time, and it's one in which we seem to be not going very far, an astonishing 1...

Indian ocean? >> well, i think what you would see is that there are clumps of debris just as what we're seeing now. so i also think this is an encouraging sign. you would see that there's debris fields that move away but within the debris fields there may be a few miles in diameter, you would see much higher concentrations of debris, yes. >> so if they identify this debris as being from the plane, wreckage, colleen, presumably it could be hundreds of miles away from the seabed where the actual plane -- if the plane is on the bottom where it's located? >> well, we're predicting -- the currents ...

Target, the weather has been so bad, the currents are so strong, the suspected debris fields are moving every single day. there's also the question of what exactly we're seeing on the images at least in regards to the thai satellite there is the possibility that we could be seeing some white caps, some wave caps in that image. the reason for that is that you have when you're flying over the indian ocean as i did this past weekend, you look down what looks like debris is actually the tops of waves at times. that's something to keep in mind. again, five countries with satellite images, seems lik...

A very confined debris field, like for instance, at the crash of the -- at the site where the plane crashed, within days, that just spreads out and out and out and out, and that continues for years and years. and it might be that some of the debris that came from this plane is actually in completely different oceans in a few months to a few years. >> so, when we talking about these debris fields, and we know that the satellite imagery we've seen from sunday, you know, some of this. by the time we're sending airplanes out to look for it, it's been three or four days. what happens to a fairly co...

Be able to look at the water and scan and look for debridebris. they are not able to see much either. until we get better visibility, our hands are tied. wean the satellites are seeing the debris fields or one big field. we can't get to it. that's a problem. >> let's take a listen to what they are saying. >> whether it was zero visibility, we have high risk flying additions and with the visibility the way it is, very low probability of seeing anything out there at all. >> that's the news here as far as the conditions. hopefully it's better in a couple of hours. we know standard operating proce...
