(Via CNN)—Apparent airplane debris found off the coast of Reunion island, a French department in the western Indian Ocean, is being examined to see if it is connected to the 2014 disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a member of the French Air Force in Reunion said Wednesday.
The debris was found off the coast of St. Andre, a community on the island, according to Adjutant Christian Retournat. “It is way too soon to say whether or not it is MH370. We just found the debris this morning,” Retournat said.
He said the debris — what appears to be a wing flap — has been taken to the island, located about 380 nautical miles off the coast of Madagascar.
MH370 disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on March 8, 2014, bound for Beijing with 239 people aboard. (link)

However, against the backdrop of the missing MH-370, and considering the images came from the CIA via DigitalGlobe -the same satellite company doing the MH-370 search- some speculated it may have been a message to regional players that we have the ability to see more than they may think we have the ability to see. *nudge, nudge – wink, wink*
