Possible Debris From MH 370 Spotted In Indian Ocean

The Australian Maritime and Safety Agency has released two satellite photographs of objects that may be debris from Malaysia Airlines flight 370 floating in the Indian Ocean. The photographs date from March 16, and have been subjected to analysis by the Australian authorities. The UK Guardian reports:

It is important to point out that the satellite images of the objects released by Australia are four days old. They are dated Sunday 16 March. 

In his media statement John Young, the general manager of the Australian Maritime and Safety Authority, suggested the authorities had taken their time to analyse the images before stating that they could have been debris from MH370. 

To repeat he said: 

RCC Australia received an expert assessment of commercial satellite imagery on Thursday.

The images were captured by satellite. They may not be related to the aircraft.

The assessment of these images was provided by the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation as a possible indication of debris south of the search area that has been the focus of the search operation.
