Doubt raised over whether `pings` came from missing Malaysia jet
The U.S. Navy described as "speculative and premature" a media report on Thursday that said four acoustic pings at the centre of the search for a missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner are no longer believed to be from the aircraft`s black boxes, Reuters reported
The report on CNN quoted Michael Dean, the U.S. Navy`s deputy director of ocean engineering, and said authorities now almost universally believe the pings did not come from the onboard data or cockpit voice recorders of Flight MH370.

The Boeing 777, carrying 239 passengers and crew, disappeared on March 8 shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing.

Australian search authorities narrowed the search for the missing jet last month after picking up a series of pings near where analysis of satellite data put the last location of the plane some 1,600 km (1,000 miles) off Australia`s northwest.
