Flight MH370: Latest Developments At A Glance

The search for missing flight MH370 has taken a dramatic turn with possible debris spotted by a satellite.

This is what we know:

:: Possible debris from missing flight MH370 seen in the Indian Ocean 1,550 miles southwest of Perth.

:: The objects were of "reasonable size", with one about 24 metres in length and the other about five metres long.

:: Satellite images of the objects were dated March 16 and the debris will have moved since then.

::  Four long-range surveillance planes have been sent to search the area where the objects were spotted in the southern Indian Ocean.

The debris was spotted by a satellite

:: They are two Royal Australian Air Force Orions, a New Zealand Orion and a US Navy Poseidon aircraft.

:: John Young, manager of Australian Maritime Safety Authority's emergency response division, said visibility was poor and may hamper efforts to find the objects.

:: He said they "are relatively indistinct on the imagery ... but those who are experts indicate they are credible sightings."

:: Mr Young added: "The indication to me is of objects that are a reasonable size and probably awash with water, moving up and down over the surface."

:: He said the depth of the ocean in the latest area is several thousand metres.

:: The area is in the southern part of the southern air corridor - one of two zones investigators have been focusing on.

:: The Australian naval vessel HMAS Success, which is capable of retrieving any debris, is some days away.
