And there. in a nutshell we have it - the full depth of the scientific argument you are putting forward.
"Satellites and aircraft have spotted numerous floating objects, but none have been confirmed as wreckage from the plane."
However compelling the evidence may be ,basic common sense dictates that they will not be confirmed one way or another until they have been retrieved and examined.
And in fact one or two pieces (out of 300 or so already spotted) have been retrieved and confirmed as NOT being from the plane.
Hi She el. I've been wondering something.
I thinks it's funny, but at the same time mean that paintsahuffing
calls you sheheffalump. I laugh at the part where you respond to being addressed that way, but then think what if it hurts your feelings.
I know you'll say it don't....but I still think it's mean.
Thanks (sincerely) for your concern, Jimmy. ButI I really am impervious to silly name calling, Let's not forget, Pooh and Piglet spent many a happy hour making heffalump traps - but as far as I know they never managed to catch one. 
replying to Jimmy.......the term 'heffalump' is as a term of endearment, nothing else. As a child my Mother used to call an elephant a heffalump!
Heffalump
Fictional Character
A Heffalump is a type of fictional elephant in the Winnie the Pooh stories by A. A. Milne. Heffalumps are mentioned, but never appear, in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.
The code named Kennan "Keyhole-class" (KH) reconnaissance satellites have been orbiting the Earth for more than 30 years. They are typically used to take overhead photos for military missions. The big question for a lot of people is: "What can they see?"
but it is known that there are several of these overhead at any given time. They have an imaging resolution of 5-6 inches, which means they can see something 5 inches or larger on the ground.

so makes me wonder why 'they' are taking pics with one of these:
.........and then sending in ships apparently only equipped with radar to locate 'credible' debris?
BTW...I saw the visitor you had on your thread....I'm wondering what he said too. (PM it if you saw it, lol)
richo hasnt seen my PM yet, i was wondering if there was an uncut version too
richo.. l@@K, up top ^^^^, UHM

...."Despite the costs and risks associated with building, launching and operating satellites, some companies have managed to grow their space technology
business. Boeing is one of those companies. Its Defense, Space and Security division managed to deliver 10 satellites in 2012 and acquire orders for seven more, contributing to the business unit's nearly $32 billion in revenue [source: The Boeing Company]....*** N.B. page 5 of this 144 page BOEING COMPANY 2012 Annual Report is an interesting read, under BOEING DEFENSE,SPACE & SECURITY...."

.......so,....anyhoo,...... if Boeing they have all these satellites up there....why only 'potato' pics?
to sheheffalump: fill me/us in!!
.... Oh great one! LOL.....spoken about-but never seen.
......I ne'er assume much. Shaym as I don't believe in much neeva. yor gude at STATING that I go 'bout assuming though, ain't ya 'Liza'?!
