A piece of plastic believed to be a plane window has been found

A plastic object believed to be a plane window has washed up on Reunion Island, as researchers determine whether parts found nearby are from the doomed MH370 flight.

A man named Bruno found the plastic part, which resembles a plane window, while jogging along a St Denis beach on Tuesday, Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The foot-long object was found within a few hundred metres of the site where other pieces of debris have unearthed in the past week, with hopes they can be traced back to the Malaysian Airlines flight which vanished in March last year.

National Police Brigadier Gisele Cadar could not confirm whether the object is from a plane.
‘It might resemble the back of a plane window or rather the part where the masks fall but right now I can’t tell you anything,’ she said.
Ms Cadar reportedly left the scene with the plastic item in the boot of a patrol car.

Bruno, who said he is holidaying on the island from France, is thought to be the same man who found an object on Sunday which he hoped could be traced back to the Boeing 777.
But Malaysian authorities dispelled the rumour that the object was a plane door, and said it was more likely a piece from a household ladder.
Beachcombers have scoured the coastline of Reunion Island, east of Madagascar, following the discovery of a wing section last Wednesday.
