A towelette with Malaysia Airlines logo discovered on the shores of a beach in Western Australia is too common to be uniquely liked to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the Joint Agency Coordination Center (JACC) told Xinhua on Tuesday.
JACC confirmed in an email to Xinhua that the package, a 6cm x 8cm moist towelette in wrapping branded with the Malaysia Airlines logo, was found at Thirsty Point, about 200 kilometers northwest of Perth, on July 2, 2014.
"This information has been forwarded to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau for review," JACC said, without elaborating on when it was reported to the authority.
The story has been reported in local TV stations on Tuesday.
The beach of Thirsty Point is about 1,850 kilometers from the main search area in the southern Indian Ocean. Experts have previously stated that floating objects on board the plane would have the ability to travel long distances without being damaged.
"It is unlikely, however, that such a common item with no unique identifier could be conclusively linked with MH370," JACC said.
Last Sunday represented the one-year anniversary of the plane's disappearance, with all 239 passengers on board still unaccounted for.
