The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which has been entrusted with the task of searching for the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 Boeing that disappeared with 239 passengers while on flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, reiterated that it believes that they will find the ill-fated aircraft, in the southern Indian Ocean.

The agency, which is working together with a team of investigators from across the globe, has stated that on further analysis of the data available on the flight's route "confirms that MH370 will be found in close proximity" to a particular corridor recognized as the "7th arc".

The bureau released a statement on Thursday saying that when the Flight 370 reached this explicit arc, "the aircraft is considered to have exhausted its fuel and to have been descending."

According to another report, a 41-year-old British sailor Katherine Tee claimed on Tuesday that she may have possibly noticed the aircraft flying over the Indian Ocean on March 8th, the same date as when the Boeing vanished without any trace. Adding further intrigue to the investigation, she said the plane may have been on fire.

The Phuket Gazette says that Tee has been sailing with her husband March Horn for 13 months now and was traveling from Cochin, India to Phuket. However, Tee said she was on the deck by herself when she spotted what she believed to be the ill-fated aircraft.

Meanwhile, Tee has filed a report with officials on the possible sighting of the plane. She stated that she did not know that the plane was missing.

The Phuket Gazette quotes Tee, who hails from Liverpool in England, with saying, "I was on a night watch. My husband was asleep below deck and our one other crew member was asleep on deck," Tee told the Phuket Gazette. "I saw something that looked like a plane on fire. That's what I thought it was. Then, I thought I must be mad... It caught my attention because I had never seen a plane with orange lights before, so I wondered what they were."

"I could see the outline of the plane, it looked longer than planes usually do. There was what appeared to be black smoke streaming from behind it," Tee told the paper.

Tee further additionally stated that she had also sighted two other planes that night.
