Searchers are "hopeful but by no means certain" that a pulse signal detected in the southern Indian Ocean is from flight MH370, says Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people vanished from radar more than four weeks ago while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Still no trace of the Malaysia Airlines jet has been found despite a massive air and sea search involving experts from around the world.
Hopes of a breakthrough came on Saturday when a Chinese patrol vessel reportedly picked up a "ping" of 37.5kHz frequency - the same emitted by black box flight recorders.
The location where the signal was detected A Chinese air force plane also spotted a number of white floating objects in the area, around 1,000 miles (1,600km) northwest of Perth, said Chinese state news agency Xinhua.
Australian authorities are sending air force crews to investigate, but stressed there was no conclusive evidence linking it to the doomed airliner.
Mr Abbott told reporters in Tokyo: "This is the most difficult search in human history. We are searching for an aircraft which is at the bottom of a very deep ocean and it is a very, very wide search area.
The Malaysia Airlines plane vanished on March 8 "We need to be very careful about coming to hard and fast conclusions too soon."
A dozen planes and 13 ships are scouring three areas about 1,240 miles (2,000 km) northwest of Perth.
Malaysia said on Saturday it had launched a formal investigation into the plane's disappearance that would include experts from Britain, Australia, the US, China and France.
Hishammuddin Hussein at a news conference in Malaysia on Saturday The country's acting defence minister Hishammuddin Hussein said it would be made up of three groups.
The first would examine maintenance records, structures and systems.
The second would study flight recorders, operations and meteorology.
The third, a "medical and human factors" group, would look into psychology, pathology and survival.
