MH370 search: 'Object of interest' found on Western Australian coast

Source: CNN

By Ed Payne, CNN

(CNN) -- An "object of interest" in the search for missing Malaysian Airlines plane has been recovered on the coast of Western Australia, several hours drive south of Perth, officials said.

Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan described the object as appearing to be sheet metal with rivets.

"It's sufficiently interesting for us to take a look at the photographs," he said.

But Dolan also added strong words of caution: "The more we look at it, the less excited we get."

Really?

Does that mean it will be taken in for interrogation and accused of the mailing anthrax?
