Items resembling an emergency slide, plane door and other objects were spotted during an aerial search Tuesday for missing AirAsia flight 8501, Indonesian officials have said.

Displaying 10 photos of objects resembling a plane door, emergency slide, and a square box-like object, Indonesian air force official Agus Dwi Putranto told a press conference:

"We spotted about 10 big objects and many more small white-coloured objects which we could not photograph. The position is 10 kilometres (six miles) from the location the plane was last captured by radar," he said.
