FIRST ON 7: An Adelaide-based exploration company believes it may have located the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, 5000km away from where authorities have been looking.
The company, GeoResonance, says its research has identified elements on the ocean floor consistent with material from a plane.
Six weeks have now passed since the plane disappeared and extensive searches in the Indian Ocean have failed to locate any wreckage.
Today, Prime Minister Tony Abbott admitted the chance of finding debris on the surface is slim to none.
Air search for MH370 called off: Abbott
He said efforts will not focus on the ocean floor, but GeoResonance believes authorities have been looking in the wrong place.
It started its own search for the missing aircraft on March 10.
“The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads, submarines… our team in the Ukraine decided we should try and help,” David Pope from GeoResonance said.
The company surveyed over 2,000,000 square kilometres of the possible crash zone, using images obtained from satellites and aircraft.
Scientists focused their efforts north of the flight’s last known location, using over 20 technologies to analyse the data including a nuclear reactor.
They could not believe what they found in the Bay of Bengal.
“Our team was very excited when we found what we believe to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner,” Mr Pope said.
Pavel Kursa from GeoResonance told 7News: “We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777… these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials.”
An initial report was sent to authorities while the black box still had two weeks of battery power.
The team then verified its findings by analysing images from the same area on March 5, three days before the plane disappeared.
“The wreckage wasn’t there prior to the disappearance of MH370,” Mr Pope said.
The full report was delivered on April 15.
“We’re not trying to say that it definitely is MH370, however it is a lead we feel should be followed up,” Mr Pope told 7News.
7News tried to contact the office of search co-coordinator Angus Houston today but there was no response.

Someone had posted it, but with wrong title, it got pulled.
They can detect different elements under the sea from an airplane? Impressive if true. Seems this would be pretty hand for ASW.
If they can do a light spectral analysis from an airplane, than it’s certainly possible that they could do this.
They have a team from Ukraine. Makes me wonder if they got the classified satellite data from Russia to make the west look bad ? Also a bunch of press releases on 3/14/2014 - 3/15/2014 indicated that classified radar from US and Malaysia indicated the plane went down in the Bay of Bengal. One 3/15/2014 Malaysia told India to stop searching in the Bay of Bengal.
They must be as busy as all get out.
They didn't get that search location by throwing darts at a map.
So they have known this since April 15th? Must not be to interested.
You got here before I had time to ping you and tip you, so I’m glad you didn’t post it again.

It is interesting that the company went to press today. I guess they figure they get the message out get the authorities to investigate it. I wonder if Obama was talking to the Malaysian Pm about this find during his weekend visit to Malaysia ?
“I’m Amelia Earhart. I’ve just flown *almost* all the way around the world, and boy are my arms tired.”
FREE advertising for this company —smart.
They pay NOTHING for all this air time.
GOSH I WONDER HOW THIS WILL PAN OUT...?

What are the odds it’s an old junked aircraft?
This could be publicity for the company, as I suspect that doppler BS was for that UK company.
Whoops, what you said. It took me just a little too long to plaster that together.
Contact CNN so they can start their candle light vigil again!
Yeah, what are the odds, planes must have gone down and been shot down in WWII.
