This has been a persistent mystery for many, many years, but now a visual anomaly has been seen up in the lagoon in Gamora Island in the South Pacific. In October of this year, there is an expedition going there to examine that anomaly to determine if it's part of her airplane. https://www.archaeologychannel.org/taraia/

As for finding Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan & the famous twin-engine Lockheed Model 10-E Electra you would have to fly back in time to figure out what really happened. In 1937 a goal of flying around the world was set & in order to make that happen you had to navigate by stars, use radio direction finding skills, use a compass & plot your heading on a paper map. Refueling was required & the last known pit stop location was suppose to take place on Howland Island & unfortunately they never made it there. Some say the plane drifted off of its heading & simply ran out of fuel & crashed in the ocean. Others say it was really a spy mission & the plane landed somewhere else & Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan were captured & if they were captured they were most likely shot after being interrogated.
On the other side of things Howland Island was the goal however from the sky it’s possible they actually landed or crashed on Gardner Island thinking it was Howland Island.
In October of this year the search will continue so we will have to stay tuned & maybe time will tell or maybe by mistake they will find something else instead.
MH370 is still out there somewhere & it went missing in 2014 & while searching for it they found Pan Am Flight 526A which went missing April 11, 1952.
I just read that article. It is very interesting. I have heard theories that she had to make an emergency landing and then tried to survive on an island as a plausible result of the flight.
I did not read the last part of it or read anywhere that they have or will investigate. Sounds like it would be worth a visit to do so.
This is apparently a very long, difficult trip to that island, but I would love to go anyway. I don't think I'm gonna be invited.
Haha, don't reckon I will be either. That is the sort of secluded place I would love to visit for a couple of days if someone set me up with shelter, food and water. It looks gorgeous.
Perhaps we can convince someone to send us. You can inspect the area while I sit in a beach chair. Supervising, of course.
Sounds good to me, and besides that, I can actually fly a plane and land it there. We could dive down onto that artifact or whatever it is and try to determine if it's part of an airplane. Then we can publish our findings and become famous. I don't think the water that it's in is very deep.
It appears that you can see sand beneath the water. It doesn't look deep.
You can fly? That's so cool. Count me in. Worst case is our fate is the same. If I'm going to go out, I'd like it to be on a beautiful beach!
I think we'll take some stuff with us to make it a little easier to actually live through it and come home. I absolutely can fly. I don't do it professionally, but I do it recreationally, so I don't think that is going to be an issue. Are you still good with supervising all this?
Yes sir! I think you will find my supervisory skills impeccable from the comfort of a beach chair. I will not be bossy. You will find my attitude very relaxed.
That is so incredibly encouraging. As you probably know, some supervisors can be a bit well... difficult..
Probably just ditched in the sea after a malfunction. Flight was still in it's infancy and we know in the 1928 crossing the plane got disoriented over the UK and had to stop off at Burry Port to get their bearings. What people forget is there were actually 2 planes but only Earharts ever gets mentioned and she was only a passage
I think by the time she had her crash she was qualified but perhaps not experienced enough to take such a long journey and her fame got to her head.
I think you better re-read the material about this. Most of what you said isn't true.
She was not just a passenger. She was a very experienced pilot. The navigator was a man named Fred Noonan, who also died in the crash or whatever happened.
Their navigation went awry, they ran out of fuel and had to ditch the plane on the water.
Actually, if you look at the charts and the radio direction-finding calculations, there was nothing wrong with their navigation. They made very well over another few on our river. I don't think the plane was ditched in the water, but that certainly is a possibility as well. I think it is more likely that they had to ditch the plane in the lagoon at Gardner Island and that the remains of that plane are still in that lagoon. I might even have landed on Gardner Island as the years went by, the plane which pushed the balloon into the lagoon by prevailing winds. I'm just speculating here, and I have absolutely no idea what happened in reality.
Well, as usual, my speech-to-text app just screwed up, and I can't correct what's said above. I hope you get the general idea.
She went off course, ran out of fuel and crashed. It's surprisingly dull.
Maybe so and maybe not. There were extra large fuel tanks on that plane that were more than enough to get her where she was going.
She had to ditch in the ocean due to some mechanical failure. She either died in the plane or drowned shortly after.
She crashed somewhere in the Pacific, but that's about all we know.
died in a crash
Certainly a possibility, but at this point there is no evidence that it was true. She might just have run out of fuel and died on the island.
