Yeah the reports get more and more confused. I was reading one this morning that suggested that the oil slick they found was almost certainly from a ship, but it also said something about it not being the type of oil that a ship used???
Also there's this:
Also, a Spanish pilot who was flying at high altitude some distance behind the doomed Air France jetliner said he saw an "intense flash of white light,'' according to his airline, Air Comet.
A co-pilot and passenger also saw the bright light, according to a report initially given to Spain's El Mundo newspaper and confirmed by AFP.
"Suddenly, we saw in the distance a strong and intense flash of white light, which followed a descending and vertical trajectory and which broke up in six seconds,'' the unidentified captain wrote.
The search planes reported sighting wreckage and an oil slick in the approximate area of the crash, but weirdly, it wasn't the wreckage of the plane - it was somebody else's wreckage.
