Malaysian officials are considering sending ships to aid in today's search for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 in the Bay of Bengal.

Bangladesh sent two navy ships to the bay on May 2 after Australian company GeoResonance reported finding possible underwater airplane wreckage.

Flight 370 disappeared on March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China. Neither a crash site nor confirmed wreckage have been found as of yet.

According to their website, GeoResonance conducts geophysical surveys and subsurface explorations using over 20 technologies. On April 29, the company's director, David Pope, publicized that by using electromagnetic fields, his scientists were able to detect large quantities of aluminum and other metals about 120 miles south of Bangladesh.

The missing Boeing 777 is about 70 percent aluminum.

Pope said that Malaysian officials did not respond to repeated phone calls and emails from GeoResonance until he presented his company's findings to the media.

"We're a large group of scientists, and we were being ignored, and we thought we had a moral obligation to get our findings to the authorities," Pope said, according to CNN.

After investigating GeoResonance's research and conclusions, Australian and Malaysian have doubts that the plane is in the Bay of Bengal.

"I am confident that the area in the southern [Indian] Ocean is the right search area, and I'm sure that in... some time, we'll find the aircraft in that area of the Indian Ocean," Joint Agency Coordination Centre leader Angus Houston told CNN.

Malaysian Transportation Minister Hishammuddin Hussein stated that he would like to aid in the Bangladeshi search, but does not want to risk the time and resources.

"I just want to stress that by [sending a ship to the Bay of Bengal], we are distracting ourselves from the main search," Hussein said in a CNN interview.

"And in the event that the result from the search is negative, who is going to be responsible for that loss of time?"

He added that the chances of the missing plane being found in the bay are "highly unlikely."
