BANGKOK (AP) - A Thai satellite has detected about 300 objects floating in the Indian Ocean near the search area for the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner.
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 2,700 kilometers (1,675 miles) southwest of Perth.
He says the images were taken by the Thaichote satellite on Monday, took two days to process and were relayed to Malaysian authorities on Wednesday.
Images here. It would be useful to get some background from analysts on the rarity of seeing this type of flotsam on satellite images.

Without trying to be too negative these images and the French images of yesterday look like ice. I took the picture below over seas to the South of Greenland a couple of years ago; height around 30000ft.
