Brazilian officials say debris they earlier believed was from Air France Flight 447 was actually just "sea trash," the BBC reports. A wooden pallet found 600 miles off Brazil's coast in the area where the jet is thought to have crashed probably came from a ship, and an oil slick photographed in the zone is now also believed to be from a passing ship.
Brazilian ships and aircraft are continuing to scour the area for debris from the Airbus 330. Planes have spotted a seat and what appears to be a chunk of fuselage but the items have not been recovered.
