KUALA LUMPUR (Xinhua) - The Chinese embassy here confirmed Saturday that Chinese satellite spotted a 22-meter-long and 13-meter-wide floating object along the southern corridor missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 might have taken.
The satellite images, which China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense said were taken Tuesday, show that the object was about 120 km southwest of the suspicious debris Australia announced Thursday.
Malaysian acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who placed the size of the object at 22 meters by 30 meters at a press conference, later corrected his statement.
