Australia has released images of two objects, possibly debris from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, spotted via satellite imagery of the Indian Ocean. The sitting was disclosed by Australiian prime minister Tony Abbot in parliament.
Australian Air Force has deployed its P-3C Orion aircraft for verification of objects, one of which is 24 m (78 ft) long, but is yet to sight any debris. U.S. and New Zealand has also joined the effort with three aircrafts to aid the search operation.
Locating the objects has been extremely difficult owing to poor visibility, hampering search efforts. The remote area is about 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) southwest of Perth, in Western Australia, limiting aircrafts patrol time.
