The Malaysian government confirmed Tuesday that officials investigating the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 were looking into an Australian company's claim to have located aircraft wreckage on the sea floor in the northern Bay of Bengal -- thousands of miles from the search area scanned meticulously for weeks to the south.

Australian land and sea survey company GeoResonance said in a statement sent Tuesday to CBS News that it had discovered materials "believe to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner" about 100 miles south of Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal using proprietary technology which scans vast areas for specific metals or minerals.

The company's technology is often used to help clients find mineral deposits for mining, but GeoResonance also has participated in the hunt for old warships or aircraft on the ocean floor.

"During the search for MH370, GeoResonance searched for chemical elements that make up a Boeing 777: aluminum, titanium, copper, steel alloys, jet fuel residue, and several other substances. The aim was to find a location where all those elements were present," said the company in the written statement.

Scanning "multispectral images" taken from the air on March 10 -- two days after Flight 370 went missing -- GeoResonance says it found "an anomaly in one place in the Bay of Bengal" where many of those relevant materials were detected in significant amounts, and in a pattern which matched the approximate layout of a large aircraft.

Hussein’s cabal will keep us chasing this Boeing around the ocean 20,000 leagues beneath the sea, until oops it flies 400mph into times square packed with radioactive material.

They need Martial Law. Dirty bomb aircraft hitting like Hitler’s V2 rockets will do just fine as a trigger.

See what you started. It’s now south of Bali Indonesia:

An Australian businessman has said he believes he saw Flight MH370 sinking in the Indian Ocean south of Bali on March 12 as he flew overhead.

Antonio Bongiovanni told the International Business Times that he noticed what appeared like a “white shadow of a plane” while travelling from Melbourne to Bali.

“I could see a plane like shape including a wing etc.

The biggest problem I have with the report from Georesonance is that they say nothing about seeing the signals in later surveys.

They detected the signals from the metals on March 10 and then they checked March 5 and there were no such signals. So, because MH370 disappeared on the 8th, they think the metal signature could be MH370.

Maybe. But, were there also metal signals on March 15 or this morning? I'm not going to get excited over a signal detected only ONCE that might just have been a plane flying in that spot.

If that IS the image of a plane that Georesonace detected, that indicates the plane landed relatively intact. So, there might not be much wreckage or debris on the surface. And, if it sank intact, there might not be much of an oil slick. Plus, it would have happened in the middle of the night, so there wouldn't likely be many witnesses from fishing boats in the area.

But, the scenario also requires that no one escaped from the plane after it crash landed. If the plane was intact, that make very little sense.

I think it's worth sending a ship there to check out, but I wouldn't expect to find anything.

Because this is such a mystery, some people would say the passengers were all dead from an earlier episode at high elevation with no oxygen,so they wouldn't have abandoned he plane.

I think it's worth sending a ship there to check out, but I wouldn't expect to find anything.

It would be easy to check this out since they have pinpointed the spot. It is not like you had to search a big area- and it won't be as deep.

I was amazed this afternoon when I heard the Australians were dismissing this report, from one of their own Australian Companies. If they don't find more evidence of the plane in the area they are searching they will have to check this lead out.

This could be a collossal embarrassment to a lot of experts, if the plane is found in the Gulf of Bengal.-Tom

That seems more like a media headline than what actual happened.

The Malaysians are supposedly checking it out. They're closer, and it's their investigation anyway. The Aussies are only involved because they're closest to where the plane supposedly went down in the Indian Ocean.
