Objects found in Malaysia Airlines search

TWO objects possibly related to the search for a missing Malaysia Airlines plane have been identified, Prime Minister Tony Abbott says.

Mr Abbott told parliament "new and credible information" had come to light in the search for MH370.

"The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has received information based on satellite information of objects possibly related to the search," he said before question time.

"Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified."

The prime minister said an Australian airforce Orion had been diverted to locate the objects and is expected to arrive in the area shortly.

"Three more aircraft will follow," he said. "They are tasked for (a) more intensive follow up search."

Mr Abbott said he has informed Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak of the developments.

But he warned against drawing any premature conclusions or hopes on the search.

"We must keep in mind the task of locating these objects will be extremely difficult and it may turn out that they are not related to the search for flight MH370," Mr Abbott said.

AMSA is due to reveal more details at 3.30pm AEDT.

Objects found in Malaysia Airlines search

This is just breaking in Australia.

News conference to be held in about half an hour.

Will update here but I am sure most news around the world will show the press conference.

Haha, just posted a topic in the General News section, did not know where it belongs.
Seems like you beat me to it a few seconds

S&F for obvious reasons.
Lets hope this is the beginning of the end of all the mystery surrounding this flight.

Thanks, and I'm watching the Breaking News as well....however, I. still believe it has been hijacked, and the debris will soon be discounted as belonging to Flight 370...

planted evidence.
nothing more!

I also think, that this might not be debris from the plane. My points still go to the hijacked theory.
But if they want to find debris, they will possibly find some debris sooner or later.

I honestly don't think that the government would be so stupid to hold this for nothing.

lots of buzz here now in Australia that they have found something.

I am sure cnn and other news carriers will cover the conference to start in about 20 minutes.

I agree.

Plane is hijacked, and agencies told to keep quiet...this "floating debris " after 13 days is to quell the masses

Hope they find something.

btw I have a bella bacchetta (for those that don't know that translates to beautiful rod), unfortunately in my case its a bicycle.

Thanks for posting the article bellagirl.

more from the Sydney morning herald...

"The Australian-led search for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight has had an apparent breakthrough, with satellite images showing two objects in waters off Perth.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Parliament on Thursday afternoon that an Australian P-3 Orion aircraft had been diverted to check out the objects and would be followed by other planes."

I have a sick feeling Australia is going to find the debris.

This would fold into my international relations -based theory that the US/Aus possibly other allies are responsible.

Australia is a strategic asset of the US in the SEA region. My belief is it will find the debris and It will then fall to Australia to start waging a 'war on terror' on SEA. The net effect of this will be to force countries to align themselves either with China or the US ('if you're not with us you're against us" type thing) as well as allow perhaps a greater military and intelligence presence in the region thus securing it further for western corporations.

It was George W. Bush's dearest wish for Australia to become the "sheriff" of SEA, a role which current conservative PM Tony Abbott is more than willing to take on as he loves bullying and is very good at it, as is his Foreign Relations Minister Julie Bishop (a glare that could kill at 100 metres). When this was tried before (under the conservative PM John Howard) SEA effectively shut Australia out of some trade talks and other regional think tanks. The Labor Party healed the rift to a degree during its time in power but but now the conservatives are back in power again, I would imagine it will stir quite the hornets nest in SEA if this comes to pass.

In short, God, i hope Australia doesn't find the debris.

It's been such a long time since this aircraft went missing...
My biggest question is if indeed the plane has crashed in the water (due to hijacking, malfunction, or any other cause), would the debris still be afloat?
Also, does anyone have any information on past crashes in the water, and a time frame of how long the debris stayed floating?
Probably unimportant information, but I can't help but wonder.....

Where can we call if we have a possible sighting regarding Flt 370? I posted here about coordinates I found a few days ago and tonight I just found what appears to be a debris field nearby those coordinates. I have recorded the coordinates for various debris sightings, as well.I have called my local station here on Long Island ( NY), tried CNN tips line but all they do is put me through to 'comment' line......I am trying desperately to relay this information. The image I had on my satellite pic from Monday, shows a very large plane with the correct shape of the 777 ans flying extremely low. I can zoom in enough to see the metal on the engines but not the name on the plane. I assume the image was taken shortly before the possible crash. I have been trying to get this info to someone for 5 days now.
If anyone knows who to call, please help.
Thank you,
Linda

Planted evidence seems to be more on the idea of Ocams razor. I say staged.

If Obama, Putin, or Miley Cirus was on that plane it would have been found in less than 72 hours.

It was a planned attack IMO.

Well said.
I have heard that Julie Bishop's stare can peel the skin off a tomato.

A news conference should go live in a few minutes...but will the pieces be ID'd this quickly?

If you are having a hard time getting through to anyone, share the coordinates here. I'm sure someone will have something to say about what you've found.

off Perth?

i think they are confused with the baited lines.

either case, i might head down to the beaches!

CNN now taking live coverage for those overseas.


also...the P.M announced at the time that an Orian aircraft had been diverted for a closer look and that arrived in the area about 1 hour ago.

edit on 3/19/2014 by ChaosComplex because: (no reason given)

My grandpa was a pilot, my exs dad is a pilot, from what they said debris of all sorts of varieties can float for days, possibly weeks. Think really hard? Some items do not sink, at all.
