A number of smaller  items appear to be scattered around the large object, he said.  "This is a lead. It is probably the best lead we have right  now. But we need to get there, find them, see them, assess them to know  whether it’s really meaningful or not," he said.  The search for the objects could take time. Australian  authorities said one of the planes was unable to locate the debris  through clouds and rain, but that other planes would continue the hunt.    CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland said early Thursday that the weather  in the area was improving over the next few hours, and he expected clear  skies for 24 hours and possibly more.     An unprecedented multinational search for the plane has focused on  two vast corridors: one arcing north overland from Laos towards the  Caspian Sea, the other curving south across the Indian Ocean from west  of Indonesia's Sumatra island to west of Australia.  Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the larger,  established search will continue even as the Australian images are  investigated. However, the effort is mostly concentrated south of the equator over the vast Indian Ocean.                                                                                             <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><img src="http://i.cbc.ca/1.2579968.1395323324%21/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/4x3_300/malaysia-flight.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></li> </ul>                   1 of 29                                                                                                                            Out of a total of 29 aircraft, 18 ships and six ship-borne  helicopters deployed in the operation, only four aircraft are now  scouring the north.  Norwegian cargo vessel Hoeegh St. Petersburg was rerouted and has  arrived at the site in the Indian Ocean where the possible wreckage was  spotted, Haakon Svane of the Norwegian Shipowners' Association told The  Associated Press.  "It did so at the request of the Australian maritime authorities and  it is currently taking part in the search operations," Svane said.   The ship, which transports cars, was on its way from South Africa to  Australia when it was rerouted. A Royal Australian Navy ship, which is  well-equipped for recovering objects, is still days away from the area.      Military planes from Australia, the U.S. and New Zealand have  been searching in a region over the southern Indian Ocean that was  narrowed down from 600,000 square kilometres to 305,000 square  kilometres.</blockquote>
