Missing Malaysia plane, MAS Flight MH370 may have drowned in the Indian ocean, according to what is believed to be two pieces of debris spotted from satellite maps.

Aussie plans are scouring the area in search of debris from the flight that has been missing for 12 days. An Australian Orion maritime surveillance aircraft will be taking over the search.momentarily as reports say it has dispatched from Australia.

HMAS Success is also heading toward the sight in question to pick up any debris that may be found. The ship will examine possible debris at a location 2,500 km south-west of Perth, NST reports.'

Reports are coming in live from Australia about the anxious wait for relatives of Australian passengers who boarded the ill fated Malaysian Airlines flight to Beijing.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority official John Young, "The objects are relatively indistinct. The indication to me is of objects that are of a reasonable size and probably awash with water and bobbing up and down over the surface," AFP reports.

"The largest ... was assessed as being 24 metres. There is another one that is smaller than that." reiterated AFP.

Credible, Best Lead

A source close to the story said the Australian newspaper reported the "sightings were "credible" and consistent with "what you'd normally find in such circumstances.".

David Kaminski-Morrow of Flight International said, "It's the best lead simply because, with so little information, it's effectively the only lead. The key issue initially will be ensuring that the items seen can be located by search teams capable of making a closer examination."

He added, "While a timeframe is hard to estimate, the inquiry needs to conduct its assessment as quickly as possible because the ocean is constantly shifting and, should the debris be significant, every hour of drift adds uncertainty to position data," AFP reported at 8:18 GMT.
