A plane wreckage containing skeletons has reportedly been found in the Philippines with speculation that it could be missing flight MH370.

The aircraft disappeared in March last year with 239 people on board.

The discovery was made in the midst of thick jungle on a remote island in the Tawi-Tawi province, local reports say.

A large piece of aircraft wreckage, discovered in July, washed up on Reunion Island has been confirmed as part of MH370's wing.

Audio technician Jamil Omar called police on Saturday to say his aunt had come across the wreckage while hunting for birds.

According to police commissioner Jalaludin Abdul Rahman in nearby Borneo, the woman said she climbed into the smashed fuselage and saw skeletons.  

"Mr Jamil claimed his aunt had entered the aircraft wreckage, which had many human skeletons and bones," said Rahman.

"She also found a Malaysian flag measuring 70 inches long and 35 inches wide."

A report on freemalaysiatoday.com expanded on the details.

"There was a skeleton still in the pilot's seat," it said. "The pilot had his safety belt on and the communication gear attached to his head and ears."

However, authorities remain sceptical about the claims.

A naval task force landed on the Philippines island on Monday and could not confirm the report in their initial checks with villagers on the island.

"We asked the locals and the fishermen living on the island, they have no knowledge of the supposed wreckage," said Philippine navy task force commander Giovanni Carlo Bacordo.

This latest theory comes after French authorities found a piece of wing from the Boeing airplane on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
