DHAKA: Experts following the evaporation of MH370 said that it is likely that a new piece of debris found on a Mozambique beach came from the missing plane.

A reader contacted the BBC on Thursday to say he recently found the fragment on the Macaneta peninsula, BBC reports on Friday (May 27).

The authorities have been notified. The piece must be examined by the official investigation team in Australia.

Experts said that it is consistent with where previous pieces of debris from the missing plane have been found.

The reader took two photographs of the item on 22 May, and sent them to the BBC after reading a story on Thursday about other debris finds in the region.

He said the pieces were ‘reasonably light, did not have metal on the outside, and looked extremely similar to photos posted on the internet of other pieces of debris from aeroplanes’.
