Satellite finds 300 floating objects in MH370 search

Thailand has spotted 300 floating objects in the southern Indian Ocean during the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

The Boeing 777 is thought to have crashed on March 8 with the loss of 239 people, after flying thousands of kilometres off course.

Thailand's Geo-Informatics Space Technology Development Agency says the objects, ranging from two to 15 metres in size, were scattered over an area about 2,700 kilometres south-west of Perth.

This is within the search area for the plane and is not far from where other satellite images of possible debris have been taken.

"But we cannot - dare not - confirm they are debris from the plane," the agency's executive director Anond Snidvongs said.
