It seems the mix of radar images and hunting is bearing fruit as Royal New Zealand Air Force P3 Orion have spotted objects in a new area of the Indian Ocean being swept by the multinational task force involved for the hunt of MH370.
The focus of the search area has changed after new analysis which indicated that the plane was going faster, thus using more fuel.
The revises search area covered – data AMSA.gov.au
The 11 objects spotted from the air are “to be established”
Meanwhile a total of five aircraft spotted multiple objects of various colours during Friday’s search including:
- A Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) P3 Orion reported sighting a number of objects white or light in colour and a fishing buoy.
- A Royal Australian Air Force P3 Orion relocated the objects detected by the RNZAF Orion and reported it had seen two blue/grey rectangular objects floating in the ocean.
- A second RAAF P3 Orion spotted various objects of various colours in a separate part of the search area about 546 kilometres away.
Photographic images were taken for assessment overnight.
A ship is on its way to make contact with the objects – the Chinese Maritime Administration patrol ship Haixun 01 – although contact is not expected until tomorrow.
Hopefully, some answers come soon.
