An object that could be debris from the missing plane MH370 has been found off the coast of Mozambique.

The debris believed to be from a Boeing 777 jet is being examined by investigators to ascertain its origin, NBC reports.

The plane MH370 vanished almost exactly two years ago, with 239 people on board, and is the only missing Boeing 777 in the world.

The Malaysian Airlines plane is believed to have crashed somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean, but only small fragments of the jet have ever been found.

In July 2015, a piece of the plane was washed up ashore on the French Island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean.

Investigators in Malaysia, Australia and the U.S. have reportedly looked at photographs of the latest object and sources say there is a good chance it derives from a Boeing 777.

It is still not known how the jet crashed but an Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) report is expected to find it was either crashed deliberately – most likely by the pilot.

It is hoped that if the debris is from MH370, it could offer new clues over how the plane crashed.
