Debris possibly linked to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has been spotted in the newest search area off Australia's southwestern coast. An international contingent of aircraft and sea vessels will search the area on Saturday.
Reuters reports that "Australian authorities coordinating the operation dramatically moved the air and sea search 1,100 km (685 miles) north on Friday after new analysis of radar and satellite data concluded Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 travelled faster and for a shorter distance after vanishing from civilian radar screens on March 8.
"Australia said late on Friday that five international aircraft had spotted 'multiple objects of various colors' in the new search area some 1,850 km (1,150 miles) west of Perth.
"Flight Lieutenant Jamin Baker was on a New Zealand Airforce Orion which spotted several items and dropped a marker buoy in 'an area of interest'.
"'Obviously we don't know if these (objects) are associated with the aircraft yet but it certainly looks like we are seeing a lot more debris and just general flotsam in the water, so we could be on to something here,' Baker said.
"One Chinese navy ship was in the area and would be trying to recover objects on Saturday, while other ships were steaming to the area, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said."
