More than a month after Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 disappeared, authorities say possible airplane debris has surfaced in Australia.
According to reports, Australian police have collected "material that has washed ashore" on the southwest coast of Australia. Officials in Australia and Malaysia are looking closely at images of the wreckage to determine whether it is related to the missing jetliner.
Officials were careful to stress that any connection to MH370 is still only a possibility at this point.
Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan said the object appears to be sheet metal with rivets, and calls it "sufficiently interesting" for investigation, CNN reports.
However, Dolan is increasingly skeptical about the find. "The more we look at it, the less excited we get," he said.
