An unopened wet napkin with the Malaysia Airlines logo found on a beach in Western Australia could be from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, but officials say even if it is, it's unlikely to help them find the plane that disappeared more than a year ago.
The discovery, first reported by Australia's News Nine, was made in July by a couple walking along the beach about 150 miles north of Perth. The small item is being tested in Canberra to prove whether or not it did indeed come from the missing Boeing 777.
An official said the tests were unlikely to prove any connection to Flight 370.
"It is unlikely that such a common item with no special mark could be conclusively linked with MH370," the spokesman told News Nine.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has been missing since March 8, 2014, when it dropped off radar screens without warning. The ongoing search missions, headed by Australia, have searched about 40-percent of an estimated 23,000-square mile area in the Southern Indian Ocean. The full operation is due to be completed in late May.
On Sunday, investigators released a 584-page report detailing what is known of the missing plane's whereabouts and the search efforts by far.
