Flight #MH370 search countries reject Bay of Bengal wreckage claim

Authorities searching for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 have rejected claims from an Adelaide technology company that it has found a wreckage in the Bay of Bengal that may be the missing aircraft.

GeoResonance claims its sensor technology has found a plane in the Bay of Bengal, south of Bangladesh, and in an area at the northern part of the original search for the commercial plane.

Although the marine exploration company – which specialises in geophysical surveys to find oil, gas, groundwater and uranium – has not declared the discovery is MH370, it says the possibility should be investigated.

But Australia's Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre, which is leading the search, said the location of MH370 suggested by the GeoResonance report was not in the Australian search and rescue zone.

"The Australian-led search is relying on information from satellite and other data to determine the missing aircraft's location," JACC said.

"The location specified by the GeoResonance report is not within the search arc derived from this data."

JACC said it was satisfied that the Boeing 777 was in the southern part of the search arc.

Authorities have called off the aerial search but are continuing with their transition to an intensified undersea search in the southern Indian Ocean.

Bluefin-21, which has completed its search of the 314 sq km area around the detections made by the towed pinger locator, will continue to search adjacent areas in the hopes of finding the wreckage.

Mission 17 will begin when weather conditions improve to allow Bluefin-21 to be safely launched from the Australian vessel Ocean Shield.

The ill-fated flight was carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it vanished on March 8.

BREAKING An Australian exploration company believes it may havefound #MH370

An Adelaide-based exploration company believes it may have located the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, 5000km away from where authorities have been looking.

The company, GeoResonance, says its research has identified elements on the ocean floor consistent with material from a plane.

Six weeks have now passed since the plane disappeared and extensive searches in the Indian Ocean have failed to locate any wreckage.

It started its own search for the missing aircraft on March 10.

“The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads, submarines… our team in the Ukraine decided we should try and help,” David Pope from GeoResonance said.

The company surveyed over 2,000,000 square kilometres of the possible crash zone, using images obtained from satellites and aircraft.

Scientists focused their efforts north of the flight’s last known location, using over 20 technologies to analyse the data including a nuclear reactor.

They could not believe what they found in the Bay of Bengal.

“Our team was very excited when we found what we believe to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner,” Mr Pope said.

Pavel Kursa from GeoResonance told 7News: “We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777… these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials.”

An initial report was sent to authorities while the black box still had two weeks of battery power.

The team then verified its findings by analysing images from the same area on March 5, three days before the plane disappeared.

“The wreckage wasn’t there prior to the disappearance of MH370,” Mr Pope said.

The full report was delivered on April 15.

“We’re not trying to say that it definitely is MH370, however it is a lead we feel should be followed up,” Mr Pope told.

BREAKING Materials washed ashore is not related to missing #MH370

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has advised that after examining detailed photographs of material washed ashore 10 kilometres east of Augusta, it is satisfied it is not a lead in relation to the search for missing flight MH370.

"We've carefully examined detailed photographs that were taken for us by the police, and we're satisfied that it's not a lead in terms of the search for MH370," ATSB chief commissioner Martin Dolan told ABC radio.

BREAKING An "object of interest" in the search for the missing MalaysiaAirlines plane has been found #MH370

Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan described the object as appearing to be sheet metal with rivets and said it was recovered on the coast of Western Australia.

"It's sufficiently interesting for us to take a look at the photographs," he said. "We take all leads seriously."

At a news conference Wednesday, Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's acting transport minister, said that his country has not received any photos from Australia and that so far, all of the objects found in the search have not been related to the missing plane.

Even the Australians expressed caution.

"The more we look at it, the less excited we get," Dolan said.

The object was picked up near Augusta, about 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Perth, a source with the Australian Defence Force told CNN.

The source also described the object as having rivets on one side with what appears to be a fiberglass coating.

When asked about the shape and scale of the object, the source described it as "kind of rectangular," but torn and misshapen.

The source said it was too difficult to estimate the size because they had only seen one photo with no clear scale.

Near midair collision reported between Airbus A319 and Tu-95 bomberover Russia

Russian newspaper Izvestia reported that a Russian Air Force Tu-95 bomber overflew an Air France A319 passenger jet with a separation of about 100 m en route over Russia.

On March 14, 2014, Air France flight AF-1645, operated by Airbus A319 F-GRXC, took off from runway 25L at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport at 15:03 hours local time. Destination of the flight was Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in France.

The flight climbed on a westerly heading. About 15:16, while climbing through an altitude of 8000 m, a large Tupolev Tu-95 four-engine turboprop strategic bomber descended from above towards the A319 from the southwest. It passed overhead at a separation of about 100 m. The crew on the Airbus reported they could hear the droning of the Tupolev’s engines.
At the time of the airprox, the Air France flight was being handed over from the Moscow Center air traffic controller to another controller, according to Russian media.
