There is “strong evidence” that the Amelia Earhart plane was finally found

The mystery of the disappearance of the famous Aviador Amelia Earhart and her 10-E Electra may have been finally resolved. This is not the first time we have written this sentence, but a team of researchers from your university has been convinced that this time it may have “irrefutable proof” that was missing.

A team of Purdue University researchers is preparing to travel to the South Pacific to see if a “visual anomaly” detected on an remote island corresponds to the wreckage of the missing plane, and argues that there is “there is“very strong tests”That it is the aircraft of the legendary aviator.

On July 2, 1937, Earhart tried to become the first woman to go around the world when on a plane, when she mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean, along with her browser, Fred Noonan.

Neither the two crew nor the plane, a lockheed electra 10e, were ever found, giving rise to numerous theories that tried to explain their disappearance and attempts to find the last location of rest aviator and its aircraft.

Several times in recent decades, they have pointed to the end of the mystery. Expectations always came out: sometimes it was, sometimes they were found only of a wreck.

Now a team from Purdue University, Purdue Research Foundation and Archaeological Legacy Institute says Ter definitive proofs of location of the missing plane, and prepares for go to the place to rescue the Electra 10e de Earhart.

In 2020, researchers who analyzed satellite images identified a “visual anomaly”, known as Opajoaiain a lagoon on the island of Nikumaroro, a small ticker from the Kiribati archipelago, situatedly midway between Australia and Hawaii,

Nikumaroro is about 400 miles southeast of Howland Island, the destination planned by Earhart and Noonan. The submerged object is visible in photographs that dates back to 1938, just a year after the disappearance of the two aviars.

According to one from Purdue, the investigators team will travel in November to Nikumaroro to inspect the site. The expedition will first collect images and videos and resort to magnet meters and Sonar equipment to map the area. Only then will the Draging and Object Removal.

One of Earhart’s most persistent argues that the aviator will have managed to land in Nikumarorowhere it has been retained to death.

The nonprofit organization International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (Tighar) claims to have gathered evidence that supports this hypothesis. Second Richard PettigrewExecutive Director of Archaeological Legacy Institute, the expedition can bring “irrefutable proof” that was missing.

“We gathered many more satellite images, we did historical investigation and We found other related visual records ”explained Pettigrew. “Let’s go to the place to identify the object. If we are right, it will finally be possible to confirm the location of the missing Electra. We may be mistaken, but I think the tests are very, very strong.”

Still, Tighar’s own executive director, Ric Gillespiemaintains some reservations: “We have already investigated this point and there is nothing there”He told statements in July.

Purdue’s senior vice president Steve Schultz, who will be part of the mission as a field assistant, stresses that if it is confirmed by the Earhart plane, the university intends to recover the aircraft.

Earhart worked at Purdue for two yearsa 1930 décade, I was Purdue Research Foundation Originally funded the purchase of Electra that the pilot used. The device was expected to return to the university after the return to the world.

“A successful identification would be the first step in fulfilling Amelia’s original plan: Return Electra to West Lafayette after its historical flight”Schultz said in the statement.

Earhart’s plane disappeared during a flight stage between Lae, New Guinea, and Howland Island, giving rise to a mystery that has been persisted for 88 years.

Despite a 16 -day exhaustive search involved 66 planes And four ships, as well as numerous private expeditions over the decades, has never been found any definitive trace of Earhart or his browser.

Theories about your destiny vary between the plausible and the strange. While many believe the plane simply drew in the ocean, others suggest that the nearby aviator by the Japanese forces – or even.

Some conspiracy theorists even claim that Earhart Returned to the USA With a new identity, although such stories lack credible evidence. Purdue’s expedition will now have the opportunity to deny all these theories and finally unveil the mystery.
