SYDNEY, Australia — Satellite cameras spotted objects floating ∈ the southern Indian Ocean that might be parts of the Malaysia Airlines jet that vanished on March 8, the Australian ′ minister, Tony Abbott, said on Thursday.
Mr. Abbott and an Australian rescue organizer both counseled caution about the sighting, found ∈ images recorded on Tuesday. The first Royal Australian Air Force plane to fly over the estimated location of the objects returned to base Thursday without spotting anything that fit the description – a reminder of how the hunt for the missing Boeing 777 jetliner could remain long, difficult and possibly fruitless.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said ∈a message on Twitter that the search aircraft, a P-3 Orion, was “unable to locate debris — cloud and rain limited visibility — further aircraft to continue search.” Later, a United States Navy P-8A Poseidon also returned from searching the target area to an air base near Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and “had nothing of significance to report,” according to a message from the United States Seventh Fleet, which is overseeing the American military contribution to the search. Cmdr. William J. Marks, the spokesman for the fleet, said ∈ an email that the Poseidon had found “no indication of debris.”
