Sydney, Frankly I'm scratching my head over that particular alert. I would guess they're talking about the same area, but in searching quickly I didn't see anything else about the rather cryptic message supposedly from ABC News.

I got a CNN alert on my phone earlier today that said sonar from a US ship detected a large mass under water. Anyone else hear or see this?

I received the same alert early this morning but haven't seen anything about it since.

I looked back at the CNN notifications on my iPad. At 3:29 a.m.: "Crew searching Indian Ocean for MH370 getting radar hits of 'significant size,' ABC News says."

I don't see any follow-up on this, doing a quick Internet search.

I found this in today's Australian Financial Review referring to an incident earlier today.

<h2 class="story_headline2">US Navy reject radar findings</h2>

The US Navy rejected an eyewitness report on Thursday from a flight crew scouring the southern Indian Ocean for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. They told US ABC News that they’re getting radar hits of “significant size,” indicating something lurking below the water’s surface.

But US Commander William Marks of the US Navy’s 7th Fleet later said the radar return was typical and not connected to the missing plane.

I second that.

Five to ten foot waves are in the way for the search of the missing plane.

I just heard that plus rain and poor visibility.

It must feel like forever for the families.

Did I hear correctly that the winds on the ocean will or are 70 miles a hour because of a storm.
