RECIFE, Brazil - The Brazilian military reports 2 bodies found in ocean near apparent crash site of Air France jet. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the head of the French agency leading the probe into the crash of Air France Flight 447 says signals from the plane before it disappeared show its autopilot wasn't on. <br /> <br /> Paul-Louis Arslanian said it was not clear if the autopilot had been switched off by the pilots or had stopped working because it received conflicting airspeed readings. <br /> <br /> Plane manufacturer Airbus says the probe found the flight received inconsistent readings from different instruments as it struggled in a massive thunderstorm. <br /> Probe chief Alain Bouillard says ``we also saw messages that show the automatic pilot wasn't working.'' <br /> <br /> <br />
