Missing plane mystery: China reports large object in Indian ocean

Kuala Lumpur: China has reported to see a a large object in the southern Indian Ocean which could be related to the missing jetliner, Malaysia said on Saturday, as the desperate search for the plane entered its third week.
Beijing is expected to make an announcement in a few hours,” said Hishammuddin, who got the news while he was addressing his daily briefing.

His comments came as several Australian military jets resumed their search this morning to find any trace of two objects seen earlier in satellite imagery nearly 2,500 kilometres southwest of Perth.
The mystery of the missing plane continued to baffle aviation and security authorities who have so far not succeeded in tracking the aircraft despite deploying hi-tech radar and other gadgets.
He said the transcript of the conversation between the pilots and the Malaysian air traffic controllers was released on Friday.

“Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be anything unusual in the exchanges. Some have suggested that there is something unusual in the pilot repeating his altitude,” he said.
