by Benson Agoha

Five aircrafts spotted multiple objects of various colours on Friday as the hunt for the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 continue, according to the Strait Times.

The search operations was redirected to a new site west of Perth based on "the latest credible lead".

According to reports from The Australian Maritime Security Authority (AMSA), photographic images of the objects will be assessed overnight.

"The objects cannot be verified or discounted as being from MH370 until they are relocated and recovered by ships," it said last night.

A report on the Strait Times said a Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) P3 Orion reported sighting a number of objects white or light in colour and a fishing buoy, according to the statement.

"A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P3 Orion relocated the objects detected by the RNZAF Orion and also reported it had seen two blue/grey rectangular objects floating in the ocean" adding "a second RAAF P3 Orion spotted objects of various colours in a separate part of the search area about 546 kilometres away."

The search was hampered last week because bad weather, but resume after it cleared.

"If the search party had remained in the search area, it would have had to contend with wind speed of above 20 knots for most of the day, as well as waves of between three and four metres" ST said.
