Objects Spotted In Sea In Missing Plane Search -Source: Sky News
An Australian plane has spotted debris in the sea during the hunt for the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501, authorities have said.
Jakarta's Air Force base commander Rear Marshal Dwi Putranto said an Australian Orion aircraft had detected "suspicious" objects near Nangka island, between Sumatra and Borneo and close to Belitung island.
The AP news agency said the spot is about 700 miles (1,120km) from the location where the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers over the Java Sea in the early hours of Sunday morning.
But it is well within the area currently being searched.
Indonesia's vice president Jusuf Kalla said there was not enough evidence to confirm the report.
He told a news conference: "It has been checked and no sufficient evidence was found to confirm what was reported."
Searchers have also been looking at an oil slick off the east coast of Belitung island.
Officials said ships will hunt round the clock but aircraft would suspend operations at dusk, which was due at about 6pm (11am UK time).
The flight had been on its way from Surabaya on the Indonesian island of Java to Singapore when it disappeared from radar screens.
The pilot had asked for permission to fly higher to avoid bad weather but was refused because other aircraft were in the area, officials told Reuters.
One Briton was among the 162 on board, with the rest from Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and France.
