 KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — A US aircraft is picking up radar hits of "significant size" in the Indian Ocean where satellite images had earlier spotted debris possibly belonging to missing Flight MH370, a TV reporter on board said. According to ABC News' David Wright, the flight crew of the US Navy's P-8 Poseidon said the radar data shows that "there is something down there", beneath the surface of the water. Following confirmation earlier today from Australian officials that some debris have been sighted to the south of the search zone for MH370 in the Indian Ocean, several assets from the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force and United States Navy were deployed to the area. Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Emergency Response division general manager John Young said this is the "best lead" so far in the search for missing aircraft, which entered the 13th day today. “This is a lead, probably the best lead we have in the search, but we need to get there to see if it is related to MH370,” he told a press conference in Canberra.
