Aussie firm 'ignored' over MH370 wreckage claim


A private Australian company that believes it may have found the wreckage of MH370 has slammed official investigators for not taking its claims seriously.

Adelaide-based GeoResonance, a marine exploration company, says it has detected possible aircraft wreckage in the Bay of Bengal, 5000km from the current search area in the southern Indian Ocean.
"We're a large group of scientists, and we were being ignored, and we thought we had a moral obligation to get our findings to the authorities," the company's director, David Pope, told CNN.
GeoResonance's technology works by analysing electromagnetic fields captured by airborne multispectral images.
The technology was created to search for nuclear, biological and chemical weaponry under the ocean or beneath the earth in bunkers, Mr Pope said.
GeoResonance began its search four days after the plane went missing and sent officials initial findings on March 31, before following up with a full report on April 15.

Mr Pope said he did not want to go public with the information at first but his information was disregarded.
