Malaysian officials confirmed they received more radar data from other countries about the missing Flight MH370 but insisted they were “not at liberty” to release the information.
American and British officials have narrowed the possible flight path of the plane to two possible locations, according to ABC News.
Both of the paths have the plane heading toward the South Pole and ending somewhere off the coast of Australia, experts said.
Flight 370 disappeared March 8 with 239 people aboard during a night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Twenty-six countries have joined the search, including the United States, where the FBI is examining a copy of a hard drive from a home flight simulator used by one of the pilots.
Some of the data had been erased, and investigators are hoping to recover it.
Australia’s prime minister says objects possibly related to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight have been spotted on satellite imagery.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Parliament in Canberra on Thursday that a Royal Australian Airforce Orion has been diverted to the area to attempt to locate the objects. The Orion is expected to arrive in the area Thursday afternoon. Three additional aircraft are expected to follow for a more intensive search.
Meanwhile, President Obama said that finding out what happened to the missing plane is a top priority for the US.
The president said that every available resource is aiding the search including the FBI and National Transportation Safety Board.
Earlier Wednesday, screaming relatives of passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines Fight 370 were dragged from an update session after they crashed a press conference and demanded answers from officials.
“You are traitors to us . . . you have let us down. Tell us the truth! We want the truth!” one outraged woman demanded.
Another woman, whose son was on the missing jet, cried: They are just saying, ‘Wait for information,’… “We don’t know how long we have to wait.”
Malaysia’s transport minister said he regretted the frustration, and that officials are doing everything in their power to find Flight MH370.
