Australian leader Tony Abbott says authorities are confident that signals heard in the Indian Ocean are coming from the "black box" flight recorders of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.

Speaking in China, he said teams had "very much narrowed" the search area.

An Australian vessel has on four occasions picked up signals consistent with flight recorders, officials say.

But a signal picked up by an Australian plane on Thursday is now thought unlikely to be linked to flight MH370.

2. 5th signal detected 'not likely' from MH370 black boxes, officials say

(CNN) -- Elevated hopes that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 might soon be found were tempered Friday, when the joint search agency said the latest signal probably isn't from the missing plane.

The most recent acoustic signal detected by an Australian aircraft in the search Thursday is "unlikely to be related to the aircraft black boxes," Australian chief search coordinator Angus Houston said in a statement Friday.

"On the information I have available to me, there has been no major breakthrough in the search for MH370," Houston said.

"Further analysis continues to be undertaken by Australian Joint Acoustic Analysis Centre."
