I guess I just assumed this to be oil concentrated liquid. I don't know anything about jet fuel or it's chemical makeup.

Jet fuel is essentially high-grade kerosene. I know they were looking for jet fuel in the search of the Bay of Bengal, but not sure if they actually detected any.

What I find most interesting from the scans are the "pure" physical evidence aspects of it. Scans from March 5th don't show it, March 10th they are visible. The size of the objects is on scale with the plane and the general shape appears correct. I have no idea what the accuracy is but assuming these scans are legitimate that's some great evidence to go check out. If it isn't related I'm still curious what it would be.

No answers: Missing Flight 370 just one of dozens of vanished planes | Fox News

By Malia ZimmermanPublished March 11, 2015FoxNews.com

...

Aviation Safety Network, which tracks missing planes, documents 85 passenger, cargo, and military transport aircraft that have gone missing without a trace since 1948, along with eight maritime patrol aircraft, five corporate jets and six air taxis. In each case, not a single piece of wreckage, oil slick or body has been found.

“Every flight that has disappeared had its own story,” said David Cenciotti, editor of TheAviationist.com, one of world's most-read aviation blogs.“Some may have been hijacked and may have landed on a hidden or remote airfield. Others may have simply crashed in bad weather in remote locations, or at sea, after flying several minutes, if not hours off track, hence search-and-rescue teams have looked for them in the wrong place.”

Looks like the "Lost" theories are losing credibility.

People thought the plane crashed on an island with polar bears and smoke monsters with a button that had to be pushed every 98 minutes and it turned out they were dead the whole time?

I know, who is going to believe that they would have to push a button every 98 minutes.

There were some who thought the plane was hijacked and landed secretly in some jungle.

Wow, this thread reads like waking up after a major bender, with your head on fire, in a strange bedroom, with granny-panties hanging from the bedpost!~

Malaysian PM just confirmed the debris found on the shore of Reunion Island is from MH370.

Fun little tidbit: one of the NROTC advisors at ND right now was the first US military asset to go out searching for the wreckage of this flight in his MH-60

Fun little tidbit: One of the former Executive Officers of the NROTC Battalion at ND grew up in the same house as me. :wink:

Ocean drift analysis shows MH370 most likely in new search area: Australian scientists | Reuters
Apr 21, 2017 | 2:42am EDT

A new ocean debris drift analysis shows missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 is most likely within a proposed expanded search area rejected by Australia and Malaysia in January, the Australian government's scientific agency said on Friday.

A A$200 million ($150.54 million) search for the aircraft, which went missing in 2014 with 239 people onboard, was suspended when the two nations rejected a recommendation to search north of the 120,000 sq km (46,000 sq mile) area already canvassed, saying the new area was too imprecise.

The new debris drift analysis suggests the missing Boeing 777 may be located in a much smaller 25,000 sq km (9,652 sq mile) zone within that proposed northern search area.

“This new work leaves us more confident in our findings,” Dr David Griffin, a principal research scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) said in a statement.

The CSIRO report featured data and analysis from ocean testing of an actual Boeing 777 flaperon cut down to match the one from MH370 found on Reunion island off the coast of Africa in 2015, rather than the wood and steel models used in a previous test.

"We’ve found that an actual flaperon goes (drifts) about 20 degrees to the left, and faster than the replicas, as we thought it might," said Griffin. "The arrival of MH370’s flaperon at La Reunion in July 2015 now makes perfect sense."

The location of MH370, which went missing on a flight to Beijing from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, has become one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries.

Australian Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester said he welcomed the new CSIRO report but said it was important to note it did not provide new evidence leading to a specific location of MH370.

He said a copy of the report had been provided to Malaysia for consideration in its ongoing investigation into the disappearance of the aircraft.

“Malaysia is the lead investigator and any future requests in relation to searching for MH370 would be considered by Australia, at that time," Chester said.

Reading between the lines. If Malaysia would like for us to reconvene the search, they will need to pay for it.

No offense to you but I'll believe it when it comes from a legit source.

Correct, this wasn't from an official "board", just some "experts" acting independently. Probably will never know for sure unless they find the plane and black box. After the German pilot a few years ago, I'm more worried about the pilot taking my plane down than terrorists.
