New objects spotted


The BBC has an article about new floating stuff from, hopefully, the missing plane:
A further 122 objects, potentially from the missing Malaysian plane, have been identified by satellite, the country's acting transport minister has said.
The images (photo), taken on 23 March 2014, showed objects up to 23m (75ft) in length, Hishammuddin Hussein said. All aircraft taking part in Wednesday's search have now left the area without identifying debris from the plane.
Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China disappeared on 8 March 2014 with 239 people on board.
The objects were found in satellite images from a four-hundred-square-kilometer area around sixteen hudred miles from Perth in Western Australia, Hishammuddin said. He said that it was not possible to tell whether the potential objects were from the missing aircraft, but called them "another new lead that will help direct the search operation".
The images were supplied by French-based Airbus Defence and Space and were given to the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency on 25 March 2014, Hishammuddin said. The images were passed on to the Australian Rescue and Co-ordination Centre in Perth, he added. The latest images are the fourth known collection of satellite pictures showing possible debris in the southern Indian Ocean. No pieces have yet been recovered in the search area, which has now been split into eastern and western sections.
Rico says that, one of these days, they're actually going to find something...
