Have They Finally Found Missing Malaysian Flight MH370?

Debris field: The satellite has found objects in a 155 square-mile area
 There are reports that new satellite images have revealed 122 objects in the southern Indian Ocean that could be debris from the Malaysian jetliner missing since March 8 with 239 people on board. And according to a top Malaysian official on Wednesday,t the images were 'the most credible lead that we have'.

Dailymail reports they are the fourth set of satellite images to show potential debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in a remote part of the Indian Ocean roughly 2,500 km (1,550 miles) south west of Perth. However, the find has dramatically narrowed the search zone, with the debris spotted across an area 
measuring just 155 square miles (400 square kilometres). In the past few days the search area has measured around 622,000 square miles - six times the size of the UK. On Wednesday around 31,000 square miles was scoured.

The images were captured by France-based Airbus Defence and Space on March 23, but authorities have not confirmed whether they are from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
