The Australian Transport Safety Bureau was notified on June 9 that the debris had been found on Kangaroo Island off the southern Australian coast.
The bureau, which is running the search in the southern Indian Ocean on Malaysia's behalf, said it had recovered the part but Boeing, the maker of the missing plane, advised that it was "not consistent with the manufacturing specifications of a Boeing commercial aircraft."
The bureau did not say what the debris was likely from. Flight 370 vanished with 239 people aboard on March 8, 2014, after flying off course during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.
- Authorities say the plane likely crashed in the Indian Ocean, but officials have had no luck finding the main underwater wreckage despite an extensive search of a vast area of the ocean off Australia's west coast.
Crews are expected to complete their sweep of the 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) area by August, and there are no plans to extend the hunt beyond that...
