 HANOI, March 10 — A Vietnamese rescue helicopter has retrieved a floating yellow object from the sea and determined it was not a life raft from a missing Malaysian plane, as was earlier suspected, the country’s civil aviation authority said today. “It has salvaged the object, at the notice and request by Malaysia’s rescue centre, 130km southwest of Tho Chu island. The object has been identified as a moss-covered cap of a cable reel,” the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said on its website. It did not specify whether or not the object was part of a plane but said photographs would be sent to its command centre. Vietnam scrambled two helicopters from southern Phu Quoc island this afternoon to retrieve the item spotted earlier by a search plane. — Reuters
