Maldives continues to report ‘plane debris’

An unidentified metal object that appears to be part of an airplane was discovered on a Maldivian resort today, police have said.

Since the discovery of a wing fragment of missing airlines flight MH370 on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, Maldivians on at least six islands have reported finding objects they suspect to be plane debris.

The Malaysian authorities inspected the debris in August and said most of it was not from MH370.

The object found today is a long piece of gray metal and was discovered on the beach of Alif Dhaal Atoll Vilamendhoo Island, located several hours south of capital Malé.
