The weather off the coast of Perth appears to have settled down somewhat since the search was called off. The search is due to get underway again in a couple of hours as daylight arrives in the Indian Ocean. Planes were pulled back because of stormy weather, but ships stayed in the area ready for the search to resume at first light.

By Tan Hui Yee At Raaf Pearce Base In Perth

FIVE aircraft spotted multiple objects of various colours during Friday's hunt for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, as search operations were shifted to a new site west of Perth based on "the latest credible lead".

The Australian Maritime Security Authority (AMSA), which is coordinating the multi-nation search, said photographic images of the objects will be assessed overnight.

"The objects cannot be verified or discounted as being from MH370 until they are relocated and recovered by ships,'' it said in a statement on Friday night.

A Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) P3 Orion reported sighting a number of objects white or light in colour and a fishing buoy, according to the statement.

A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P3 Orion relocated the objects detected by the RNZAF Orion and also reported it had seen two blue/grey rectangular objects floating in the ocean.

A second RAAF P3 Orion spotted objects of various colours in a separate part of the search area about 546 kilometres away.

AMSA said a total of 10 planes searched an area of 256,000 sq km in the southern corridor on Friday. It expected weather conditions to be "reasonable for searching" on Saturday.

The maritime authority has tasked Chinese Maritime Administration patrol ship, Haixun 01, which is in the search area, to relocate the objects on Saturday.

Friday's search area was shifted north after international air crash investigators in Malaysia provided the "latest credible lead available", said AMSA.

The new search area is in a region with relatively calmer conditions.

Murdoch University's professor of marine science Lynnath Beckley told The Straits Times: "It's still a long way to fly, but the waves are lower and the search area is now out of the 'roaring forties'."

The area where the search was previously centered is notorious for its windy conditions and high swell, which makes the search particularly difficult.

If the search party had remained in the search area, it would have had to contend with wind speed of above 20 knots for most of the day, as well as waves of between three and four metres.

PERTH - A Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) P3 Orion has spotted objects in the search area for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, said the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).

"RNZAF Orion spotted objects in #MH370 search area, identity to be established. Soon to land @ RAAF Pearce. AMSA awaiting imagery,'' AMSA tweeted on Friday evening.

"Sightings need confirmation by ship - not expected until tomorrow,'' it added.

The latest sighting comes as the massive multi-nation search for MH370 switched focus to a new area on Friday after fresh analysis changed estimates of where the aircraft is believed to have crashed into the Indian Ocean.

Planes and ships raced to a fresh search zone after a "credible new lead" that the plane was flying faster than first thought before it plunged into the remote Indian Ocean.

Ten aircraft from six countries - Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States - altered their flight paths to an area far off western Australia, about 1,100 kilometres north-east of where they had been searching in the past week.

Today's search has now stopped for the day. It will begin again at first-light tomorrow.

A total of eight planes and a large number of boats were involved in the search today.

Incredibly, as reported by the Independent, the search area was larger than Britain.

A Malaysian minister has said he has not given up all hope of finding passengers on flight MH370 alive saying that "miracles do happen".

While meeting with relatives of some of the 239 people on the Malasyia Airlines plane which crashed three weeks ago, acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said that he does not want to give up false hope, but he can offer prayers to those involved.

He was speaking while visiting a group of Malaysians whose loved ones are missing presumed dead. Mr Hussein also took his family to meet the victims' relatives.

Here's a picture of some relatives leaving the Kuala Lumpur Cyberview Hotel.

They have had to move out of the hotel because it was fully booked as a result of the Grand Prix which will take place tomorrow.

The hotel will be filled with the Ferrari F1 team.
