Speaking at a news conference, John Young, General Manager of Australia’s emergency maritime response divi...sion, announced that at least four search aircraft were either at the scene or en route and that although the weather was not cooperating with search efforts at the moment, search teams were hoping to have more definitive data possibly linking this imagery to the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing BA +0.37% 777. Young said that it was too soon to say whether the satellite blobs could be debris from MH370, which disappeared nearly two weeks ago, or simply debris from a passing freighter. When pressed, Young said the satellite imagery wasn’t detailed enough to provide a direct link with the aircraft, in the form of the aircraft’s livery; or other structural identifiers.
