Missing plane: French satellite spots debris
A French satellite reveals a new sighting of objects in the Indian Ocean in the ongoing search for the missing Malaysian Airlines plane.

Kuala Lumpur: A French satellite has revealed a new sighting of objects in the Indian Ocean, further raising hopes of finding the missing Malaysian Airlines airliner and unraveling one of the most baffling mysteries of modern aviation.

French authorities say new satellite images show “potential objects” in Indian Ocean where Australia and China have already released images that shown possible debris from the Boeing 777.

Malaysia late on Sunday sent the images to Australia's rescue co-ordination centre in Canberra.

The French Foreign Ministry said radar echoes from a satellite put the new debris finding about 2300 km from Perth, without giving a direction or a date.

The debris in the Australian image was about 2500 km southwest of Perth and the Chinese sighting, captured two days later, was around 120 km "south by west" of that.

Advertisement In a statement Malaysia's transport ministry said the images from the three countries “show potential objects, which may be related to MH370” in what they have identified as a southern search area that includes the vast expanses of the southern Indian Ocean.

“All this information has been forwarded to Australia, as the lead country in the area of concern,” the statement said.

Authorities in Kuala Lumpur did not release details of the size or of the location of the objects identified by French authorities.

Since the plane disappeared they have released only scant information, angering relatives and friend of those on board.

Malaysian officials spent six hours with relatives of Chinese passengers in Beijing on Sunday.

"The government wishes to reiterate its commitment and continued engagement with the relatives of those on board MH370," the Malaysian government said in a statement.

Malaysia Airlines has promised to fly relatives of the passengers to Perth if debris from the plane is found in the Indian Ocean.

Perth would become the staging port for the recovery operation.

Malaysian officials said a number of search flights due to depart Kuala Lumpur Sunday were cancelled because of Cyclone Gillian that has formed in the Indian Ocean.

But they said two Indian search aircraft joined the search.

Malaysian authorities cancelled a daily media briefing while search operations headquarters was moved from a hotel near Kuala Lumpur airport to the city centre.

An official in Kuala Lumpur said the French sighted objects were in the same general area of the Australian and Chinese sightings.

Co-ordinators of a 26-country search for the plane from Central Asia to the far southern reaches of the Indian Ocean are now focusing on how to scour the depths of the Indian Ocean if the objects are confirmed to be from MH370.

The ocean is as deep as 7,000 metres in some places.

The Australian Defence vessel Ocean Shield, which has a sub-sea remotely operated vehicle, is en-route to the area.
