Thai satellite images of more than 300 objects in the south Indian Ocean produced another lead in the hunt for Malaysian Air Flight 370, with Japanese spacecraft also locating items as bad weather halted an airborne search.
The Thai photos from March 24 show objects spanning 2 meters to 15 meters floating about 2,700 kilometers (1,680 miles) southwest of Perth, said Anond Snidvongs, executive director of the Geo-Informatics & Space Technology Development Agency. The Japanese satellite detected about a dozen pieces of possible debris in a March 26 image, Kyodo News Service said.
