An Australian navy ship steamed Monday night toward the remote spot in the Indian Ocean where a surveillance plane earlier spotted two objects that could be related to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
One object is “a grey or green circular object,” and the other is “an orange rectangular object.”

The reports have raised hopes of true progress in the hunt for the missing plane, which has gone on more than two weeks. Flight 370 vanished over Southeast Asia on March 8 flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing. On board there were 227 passengers and 12 crew.
