TWO objects possibly related to the search for a missing Malaysia Airlines plane have been identified, Prime Minister Tony Abbott says. The news of the discovery was announced by Prime Minister Tony Abbott during parliament. Mr Abbott said new and credible information had come to light in the search for MH370. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has received information based on satellite information of objects possibly related to the search, he said before question time. Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified. The prime minister said an Australian airforce Orion had been diverted to locate the objects and is expected to arrive in the area shortly. Three more aircraft will follow, he said. They are tasked for (a) more intensive follow up search. Mr Abbott said he has informed Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak of the developments. But he warned against drawing any premature conclusions or hopes on the search. We must keep in mind the task of locating these objects will be extremely difficult and it may turn out that they are not related to the search for flight MH370, Mr Abbott said.
