More than 300 floating objects have been spotted close to the spot where investigators believe Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 crashed, the owner of a Thai satellite said Thursday.

The objects were spotted by the Thaichote - or Thailand Earth Observation Satellite, the executive director of the Geo Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Gistda) told NBC News.

"Our satellites have located numerous amounts of floating objects at the area about 1700 miles southwest of Perth and those objects have been identified as real and not just a silhouette or fish or anything else," Anond Snidvongs said. "It’s probably manmade but we cannot identify or confirm its origin."

He added: "The area is within the general area that we were notified to look in. There are 300 objects or even more. One of the satellites has seen about 175 square miles."
