One of these fragments is similar to an airplane seat. Mr. Gibson sent photos of them to investigators at the Australian Traffic Safety Agency and Malaysian officials.
He said he was willing to hand over these objects to the Madagascar authorities. Mr. Gibson is a lawyer from Seattle and pocketed his own money to do this search in East Africa.
Some other objects, including those identified as MH370, were also found in countries near Madagascar.

Don Thompson, an English engineer from an international group that was not officially investigating the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines aircraft, identified a fragment as a back seat, while another could be a cover on the wing.
"As for the chair, I'm 99.9% sure , " he said. "It has the right color of Malaysian Airlines fabric. It shows that the chair has been washed away."

Also yesterday, a spokesman for Australia's Traffic Safety Authority said it was investigating whether the fragment was found on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, whether it belonged to MH370.
This fragment is white, with the words "Attention, don't step on".
Australia is leading the search for a missing plane on March 8, 2014, while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, with 239 people on board. The flight is said to have ended its journey in the southern Indian Ocean.
