French satellite images show 122 potential MH370 debris objects in Indian Ocean

French satellites have reportedly beamed images showing 122 objects floating in the southern Indian Ocean, which could possibly belong to the missing Malaysia Airline passenger jet.

The images by Airbus Defence and Space, in France are dated March 23 and show objects measuring from one metre to 23 metres long.

According to news.com.au, by Malaysia's Defence and acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said that the images were analysed by the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency revealing the area of ocean about 400 square kilometres about 2557km from Perth.

It was the biggest field of possible debris spotted so far in the multinational search for the Boeing 777-200 and is the 'most credible lead' so far.

The report said that some of the objects appeared to be bright in colour and possibly of solid material and later in the day, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said that three objects had been sighted, two likely to be rope and the third was a blue object.

It is the fourth set of satellite images showing potential debris since March 16, but so far none has been physically located or picked up from the ocean.

Meanwhile, a US law firm has started 'multi-million dollar' proceedings against Malaysia Airlines and Boeing over flight MH370, in what could mark the start of an expensive legal battle over the lost plane.

The ill-fated Malaysia Airline Flight MH370 went off radar on March 8, shortly after take off from Kuala Lumpur with 239 passengers onboard and it has been now confirmed that it crashed into the Indian Ocean.
