The last radar contact with the plane was at 3:33 of central European Time ( used also in France). Airbus 330......, 350 km from the shore......

Hi Everybody,

Another update.

Orange coloured objects seen by the TAM pilots could have been small surface fires on the sea from the wreckage.

There are uncomfirmed reports from a Ham Radio enthusiast who has communication with the Brazilian Air Force pilots who are searching for the downed plane that a possible seat, querosene slick and debris couldhave been spotted 720km east north east of Fernando de Noronha.

The Brazilian Air Force has not yet confirmed this information.

When I get more I will let you know.

Best regards,

Steve

Update: The Brazilian Air Force said that although they cannot confirm the report I have just posted, there are "strong indications" that the area being observed could very well be the focal point of the crash of the Air France Airbus.
