Hours later, a Greek frigate discovered two large plastic floating objects in the sea around 230 miles south of the island of Crete, Greek defence sources said.
Two orange items believed to be from the missing EgyptAir flight have also been located by Egyptian planes, according to Greek officials.
The discovery comes as Egypt’s aviation minister said the possibility of a terror attack being the cause of the crash is ‘stronger’ than that of a technical failure.
Earlier, Greek defence minister Panos Kammenos said the Airbus A320 made 'sudden swerves' in mid-air, lurching 90 degrees to the left then 360 degrees to the right as it fell out of the sky.
He said the plane dropped from 37,000 feet to 15,000ft before the signal was lost at around 10,000 feet.
