CANBERRA/KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 -- Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced Monday that MH370 searchers have spotted two new suspicious objects and they can be retrieved within hours or around early Tuesday at the latest.

"The crew on board the Orion reported seeing two objects, the first a grey or green circular object and the second an orange rectangular object," Abbott said while addressing the parliament.

The prime minister said the new objects were different from those spotted by a Chinese search aircraft earlier on Monday.

Malaysia's acting transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, told a press conference that Australian vessel Success is in the vicinity and it is possible that the objects could be retrieved "within the next few hours, or by tomorrow morning at the latest."
