Something i've been saying for a long time. that this aircraft was probably abducted by someone and they had a purpose in mind. they were on their way somewhere. maybe they never reached their destination but this is more and more like a deliberate act under human control. and incidentally, i have rather extensive experience with auvs, apparatus underwater vehicles. and i can tell you, we used one in 2012 on our air hertz search. in that case we were searching a steep coral reef. when you have steep terrain, the auv is not an appropriate technology. they have tremendous difficulties with those...

> reporter: so we know this search area has been pushed back by about 700 miles to the northeast. does this seem to fit with an aircraft doing 400 knots at what altitude? >> it does make sense, but to get a definite answer, we would have to know the conditions that were existing at that time. >> reporter: the short answer is, we've run it through a lot of scenarios. and yes, it could be done if the conditions were right. we still don't know things like head winds, altitude, and how much fuel they had to begin with. >> i think you said 1200 feet, we're talking about 12,000 feet. richard, do we ...

Indicate human control. >> right. that is crucial to this whole understanding. we don't know whether first of all there was that altitude change at the beginning of the flight after the turn. we've never known it. there have been reports it went from 45 to 20, but we have never had it confirmed what it is. and the interesting thing looking at what mitchell and marty are doing there is, this question of the -- guys, this question of them now saying they believe it was going faster in the first part of the flight from the south china sea to the strait of malacca, because that would -- we really ...

>> yeah. you're going to increase your fuel burn by anywhere between 40 and 50% at that altitude. so your weight is going to be decreased with the higher speed. >> so we know that this search area has been pushed back by about 700 miles to the northeast. does this seem to fit with an aircraft doing 400 knots at what altitude? >> well, even with all the stuff we don't know, it does make sense. but to get a definite answer we would have to know the conditions that were existing at that time. >> i guess the short answer is we've run it through a lot of scenarios. yes, it makes sense and it could ...
