The Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia informed local authorities on Saturday that their satellites picked up an image of a floating object that is 22 metres long and 13 metres wide along the southern corridor of the search area. Dr John Blaxland, from Australian National University told media agency Xinhua, on Saturday that if the measurements of the object were correct, they were consistent with a wing of a Boeing 777 airliner. Transcript reveals final MH370 cockpit conversation Explosive batteries on MH370, admits Malaysia Airlines CEO Malaysian Defence Minister and acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters China was sending warships to the area now. China has five ships in the Southern search zone with two more on the way from Andaman Sea, he said. Six aircraft (civilian and military) and two merchant ships are now searching the first suspected debris field off Western Australia. Despite good weather, there were no sightings in Southern search zone Saturday. Chinese broadcaster CCTV claims this is the satellite image that investigators have sent to Malaysian officials.

One of the objects was very large, measuring 22.5 metres (74 feet) by 13 metres (42 feet), the ministry said in a statement, correcting the ministers earlier statistics of 22 metres by 30 metres. This information was received by phone during the press conference, and was initially misheard, the ministry said. I do not have any more details, let me investigate further and I will inform you, said the acting Transport Minister before bringing the conference to a premature close.

Sense of desperation as MH370 search enters third week Australian rescuers stepped up the search for Malaysian Flight MH370 as pressure mounted Saturday to find the missing plane that vanished two weeks ago and has defied the best efforts of modern technology to track it down. Six planes, including four Orion anti-submarine aircraft packed with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment, joined the search for debris from the aircraft over a remote stretch of the Indian Ocean, 2,500 kilometres (1,500 miles) southwest of Perth. A Royal Australian Air Force plane deployed to search part of the Indian Ocean for any potential signs of the missing MH370 passenger jet returned to Perth without spotting any debris.

With planes from China and Japan also expected to join the hunt, the sudden concentration of resources on the basis of such inconclusive evidence reflects growing desperation after 14 days of piecemeal progress. There have been no sightings of interest since Thursday, when Australia released the satellite photos taken on March 16. A map shows the search areas for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Some experts warn the larger of the two objects -- measuring an estimated 24 metres (79 feet) across -- could be a shipping container, while Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss cautioned that any possible debris may have sunk. Something that was floating on the sea that long ago may no longer be floating. It may have slipped to the bottom, he said. After Australian and Malaysian officials hailed the satellite images as the most credible lead to date, failure to find anything soon will be a body blow to a search operation already tainted by false leads and dead ends. - Cockpit transcript published - Britains Telegraph newspaper published what appeared to be the full transcript of communications with Flight MH370s cockpit crew up until the moment it dropped off civilian radar. The transcript, which ended with the final words All right, good night -- believed to have been spoken by the co-pilot -- contained no fresh clues to what diverted MH370 from its intended flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8. Malaysian investigators have stuck to their assumption that it was the result of a deliberate action by someone on board. Three scenarios have gained particular attention: hijacking, pilot sabotage, and a sudden mid-air crisis that incapacitated the flight crew and left the plane to fly on auto-pilot for several hours until it ran out of fuel and crashed. The world will continue to look to Australia for new information about two objects in the southern Indian Ocean possibly linked to a missing jet. Photo: Department of Defence. Finding wreckage in the remote southern Indian Ocean would undermine the hijacking theory, which many of the relatives of the 227 passengers on board continue to cling to. Sarah Bajc, the partner of American passenger Philip Wood, voiced concern that the sudden focus on a particular section of the Indian Ocean was happening at the expense of a land search along a northern route the plane may have taken over South and Central Asia. I believe, and I think many people believe, the passengers are being held for some other purpose. But so far that doesnt seem to be listened to, Bajc told CNN If theres a chance it was taken by an abductor of some sort, then we should be putting at least some of our resources towards looking on land, she added. Objects could be a wing, tail Erased data could hold key MH370 father: My son is still alive Pilots unconscious after take-off On Friday five planes, including military P3 Orions, criss-crossed 23,000-square kilometres (8,800-square miles) of ocean without any sightings of wreckage, and the search area has now been widened. The distance from Australias west coast allows the Orions only about two hours of actual search time before they must turn around with enough fuel to get back to Perth. - Ultra long-range jets search seas - Two ultra long-range commercial jets being used on Saturday can stay in the area for five hours. With any luck well find something shortly, said Australian Flight Lieutenant Russell Adams. As it enters its third week, the search for MH370 has become one of the longest -- and certainly largest -- in modern aviation history. No confirmed wreckage was ever found of a Korean Air jetliner that exploded in mid air over the Andaman Sea in 1987 as the result of a bomb placed on board by North Korean agents. Expectations based on advances in technology, coupled with the modern eras relentless 24-hour media coverage, would seem to rule out public acceptance of the idea that MH370 will never be found. This is going to be a long-haul effort, Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Friday. Follow the search for flight MH370 Pilots mystery phone call probed New evidence changes theories Scott Hamilton, managing director of US-based aviation consultancy Leeham Co., said the investigation would simply continue for as long as it takes. This is, in all probability, a criminal act, and thereby presumed murder of more than 230 people, Hamilton said. Worse, if this is some kind of terror event that is a precursor to something bigger in the future, authorities will presumably do all they can to make this determination and work to prevent it -- whatever it is, he added. Malaysia has asked the FBI to help recover data it said was deleted from a home flight simulator belonging to the planes chief pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, but otherwise no evidence has emerged to implicate him.
