KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 ― Day 19 of the search for MH370 ended tonight with pretty much the same result as the past 18 days ― no sighting of the ill-fated jetliner.

On its Twitter page this evening, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) routinely updated that despite the hours of searching, nothing distinctive was found.

Eleven aircraft were dispatched today to the search area ― some 2,500km southwest of Perth - that has now become the focus of a world still waiting for news of MH370.

Two hours ago, AMSA said that three objects were sighted by civilian aircraft but upon further investigation, the agency tweeted again: “None distinctive of #MH370 or satellite imagery.”

It later said that the last of the aircraft had left the search area, again, with nothing to report.

“Final aircraft has left the #MH370 search area. Nothing further identified after initial sighting of three objects,” AMSA tweeted.

The multination effort resumed early this morning after it was called off yesterday due to bad weather conditions.

According to a report on Bloomberg today, the weather forecast for tomorrow shows more rain and thunderstorms, which will again thwart search efforts.

Earlier this evening, acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein announced that French satellites revealed more potential sightings of MH370 debris ― this time 122 of them that were spotted within the search radius.

He told a press conference here that the debris field was within 400 square kilometres and showed some “bright” objects, which could indicate that they are “solid material” from the missing aircraft.

“We cannot tell if they are from MH370. Nevertheless, this is another new lead that will help direct the search operation,” he said.

Hishammuddin explained that the images had come from the Airbus Defence and Space based in France and were taken on March 23.

The objects captured in the images ― which were first handed over to the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency (MRSA) ― were of various sizes and estimated to measure around 1m for smaller objects and up to 23m in length for the larger objects.

Hishammuddin said the area is some 2,567km off of Perth, Australia, and the authorities have managed to figure out the coordinates of the objects seen in the latest satellite images.

MH370, a Beijing-bound Boeing 777 aircraft, left Malaysian shores at 12.41am on March 8 with 239 people on board. The wide-body Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared from civilian radar mysteriously less than an hour later and has remained missing since.

On Monday, 17 days after the aircraft’s disappearance, local authorities concluded that MH370 had ended its journey in the southern Indian Ocean, hundreds of miles off-course.
