New images from a French satellite indicate objects that could be related to the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, according to the Malaysian Ministry of Transport.

Sunday morning searchers returned to sea and air search on the Indian Ocean, hoping to find any trace of a large floating object captured by a Chinese satellite that could be from the flight.

"Our plan is to continue seeking. We aim to make sightings from the visual search, looking for the objects identified in the satellite imagery," said John Young from the the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

But the huge slab surrounded by several other objects including what appeared to be strapping belts of different colors, was spotted by a civilian search plane Saturday. However, it was not examined intensely, said Mike Barton, chief of Australian Maritime Safety Authority's rescue coordination center in Canberra.

Wooden pallets are commonly used in shipping, but can also be used in cargo containers carried on planes.

"It's still too early to be definite, but obviously, we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope, no more than hope, no more than hope, that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen to this ill-fated aircraft," Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said.
