(LiveScience) Searchers on patrol planes detected several objects — possibly from the missing Malaysian jetliner — floating in the Indian Ocean today (March 28), after search efforts were shifted nearly 700 miles (1,130 kilometers) to the northeast following the “latest credible lead,” according to officials from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
Five search planes detected “multiple objects of various colors” within the new search area, which is located about 1,150 miles (1,850 kilometers) west of the Australian city of Perth, reported ABC News.
