Australia finds missing area of ​​MH370?

Newly released Australian reports may have identified the area where MH370 disappeared three and a half years ago, The Australian reports.

On August 16, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) released a set of two reports analyzing data collected during the search for the Malaysian Airlines plane.

The report includes satellite imagery and drift models of debris collected from the Indian Ocean, which were produced by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

Late last year, drift models helped identify a 25,000 square kilometer area (just outside the initial search area) as the likely site of the plane crash.

A Malaysia Airlines plane.

But the new drift model narrows the potential search area to 5,000 square kilometers.

Greg Hood, director of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, urged caution in the face of the new findings.

“Obviously we have to be cautious,” Hood said. “These objects have not been definitively identified as debris from MH370.”

"Geoscience Australia has identified a number of objects in satellite imagery that are classified as possibly man-made.

"The resolution is not high enough to be certain whether these objects originated from MH370 or were just other objects, which can be found floating in oceans around the world."

"The information in the report from Geoscience Australia and CSIRO could be useful in informing any future search efforts," Mr Hood added.

Debris believed to be from MH370 washed up on La Reunion Island, Indian Ocean.

After nearly three years, the search for flight MH370 ended in vain. After scouring an area of ​​120,000 square kilometers in the Indian Ocean, the search team found no trace of the plane.

The Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared in March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The whereabouts of MH370 remain one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries.
