Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Plane Found: Thai Satellite Finds 300 Objects In Indian Ocean
Clues are slowly surfacing around the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia flight 370.
On Sunday, a French satellite photo revealed 122 objects floating along the search area for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight. On Monday, a Thai satellite detected an additional 300 objects about 125 miles away from the French search area.
"The Thai images show about 300 objects ranging in size from 6 feet (2 meters) to 50 feet (15 meters)," according to CNN. Japanese images were also taken yesterday and reveal "...about 10 objects floating in a 6-mile (10 kilometer) radius some 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) off the west coast of Australia, according to the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office."

According to USA Today, "Anond Snidvongs, director of Thailand's space technology development agency, said Thursday the images showed '300 objects of various sizes' in the southern Indian Ocean about 1,675 miles southwest of Perth."
The investigation of the floating objects was scheduled to commence today, March 27 however bad impending weather conditions have delayed the process, forcing planes to return back to their bases in Perth while the ships remain.
The heavy rain, low clouds, and winds are expected to continue for the next 24 hours according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, pushing back plans to further investigate until Friday or Saturday.
The flight surrounding the investigation is Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The flight left Kuala Lumpur on March 8 at 12:41 a.m. It was scheduled to land within six hours in Beijing, but it mysteriously disappeared from radar screens less than an hour after takeoff.
Two hundred and twenty-seven passengers boarded the Boeing 777-200, most of them Chinese, and 12 Malaysians who worked as part of the crew.
The plane had enough fuel to last over seven hours, however many believe the disappearing plane crashed, killing all passengers onboard.
The continued search operation for MH370 involves six countries, including Australia, France, and Japan.
