The satellite images, provided by US company Digital Globe, are stamped with a recorded date of March 16, meaning that the objects could have drifted far from the original site by now.
Some family members and friends of the Chinese passengers watched the Australian Maritime Safety Authority news conference live at the Metropark Lido Hotel in Beijing, where they have been accommodated by Malaysia Airlines. Many said they felt devastated on hearing about the possible new clues in the hunt for the plane.
"The news of finding possible debris means my son's chances of survival have become extremely small," a man surnamed Zou said.
Liang Yang, spokesman for the Chinese navy, said its search vessels are heading to the area where the objects were spotted.

3. Who is spokesman for the Chinese navy?
