The new satellite images provided by France showed 122 potential objects about 2,557 km from Perth in the southern Indian Ocean, Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein said.
The objects range from 1 metre to 23 metres in sizes, Hishamuddin said, adding the images have been sent to Australia which is leading the search.
Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency had received the new satellite images from France.
"It must be emphasised that we cannot tell whether the potential objects are from MH370," he said.
Hishamuddin said Malaysia has been sent for four separate satellite leads from Australia, China and France.
He called the images as "the most credible lead" so far.
The Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, carrying 239 people on board -- including five Indians, an Indo-Canadian and 154 Chinese nationals -- disappeared from radar screens after taking off from here on March 8.
The Boeing 777-200 was en route to Beijing when the incident took place, triggering a multinational hunt for the jet.
