More Debris Possibly From MH370 Found

Pieces Picked Up By Private Citizens Off Madagascar And Australia

More pieces of debris potentially from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have been discovered off the coasts of Madagascar and Australia.

CNN reports that American attorney Blaine Gibson found three pieces of wreckage that could be from the missing plane on the island of Nosy Boraha east of Madagascar.

Another piece of debris was found on Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia by Samuel Armstrong.

Officials investigating the disappearance of the Boeing 777 said they are aware of the finds and will investigate to determine if they could have come from the airplane.

This is the second time Gibson has been involved in the discovery of wreckage believed to be from MH370. Earlier this year, he picked up a piece of debris that was determined to "almost certainly" be from the airplane while on a self-funded mission to search for debris of the coast of Mozambique.

One of the pieces of debris found by Gibson appears to be the frame of a screen monitor. There are three small barnacles on the back of the piece, which could help determine how long it has been in the water and where it has traveled.

The search for the missing plane has been suspended for the past four weeks due to poor weather conditions in the search area, according to the report. Searching may begin again soon and continue until August, but if the plane is not found, no more official efforts to locate MH370 are planned.
