over 300 "shiny" pieces claim to be seen. All searches called off today because of terrible weather and zero visibility.
I was reading a pilot's board and one said it could be broken up chunks of ice. He posted a picture he had taken in the past but we are seeing through satellite.
After all this, what a kick in the pants that would be.

Ugh, imagine being back to square one again 3 weeks in?

Probably not ice, another poster said the temperature was in the 50's.
Here is the site, they have pictures of the ball that was found in the maldives too.
Don't forget, the distance a plane can glide is affected by many things including head or tail winds, aircraft weight and so on.
As we know from other large jets that have glided, it doesn't mean they encounter land or water at maximum speed. Control surface inputs can slow the plane to less than 200 mph, quite a difference from 500 mph.
If the 777 were to maintain 500 mph during the entire glide distance, it could never impact the ground (talking glide not dive). As a plane glides, it loses forward airspeed, trading speed and altitude for distance. At it's final glide speed, the 777 would not shatter completely into small pieces, some large sections of the plane would remain and if in the ocean, sink.
If it was the Indian Ocean, a smooth water landing doesn't happen, but the plane doesn't turn into confetti either.
Nobody really knows the actual events that lead to the disappearance of this aircraft, but assuming the flight crew were fully coherent prior to the crash, that is IF the aircraft crashed, or was ditched in the Indian Ocean, and with the possibility of both engines flaming out because it ran out of fuel, and no flaps and spoilers to slow it down, some pilots use a gliding maneuver called The Side Slip, which is using the rudder and the ailerons in the opposite control directions to create drag, right roll, with left rudder yaw would create drag to slow a large aircraft down.
But again, that is if one, or both flight crew members were fully coherent and did not have any sinister plots to intentionally crash the aircraft.
Once again, Yahoo writers write an article with little to no real information. Below is all that this young man says about his father, Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
Seth told New Straits Times that his father is not a "political fanatic." He said, "I've read everything online, but I've ignored all the speculation. I know my father better."
“We may not be as close as he travels so much, but I understand him,” he told New Straits Times.

Scientists just discovered a dwarf planet past Pluto. I think they can see exactly what is in the water. If not, give NASA a call.

But the things out in space aren't moving around and bobbing on waves and traveling in currents. If the water was flat and calm, they could probably identify a lot of what they're finding, but it isn't. It's in motion.
