Scientists from Purdue University believe they have located Amelia Earhart's missing Lockheed Model 10-E Electra plane off Nikumaroro in Kiribati, based on satellite imagery revealing an unusual object on the ocean floor. The analysis includes artifacts, historical records, human remains, and eyewitness accounts that match the characteristics of Earhart’s plane. The island is near her intended flight path and where some distress calls were traced. An expedition is planned for November to further investigate this promising lead.
Purdue University scientists believe they have located Amelia Earhart's plane off the coast of Nikumaroro, based on satellite imagery and historical evidence.
Artifacts, human remains and eyewitness testimony corroborate the claim that the object seen on the ocean floor is Earhart's Lockheed Model 10-E Electra.
Nikumaroro, near Earhart's intended flight path, is where several of her distress calls were traced, adding to the evidence of the plane's location.
Richard Pettigrew stated that the overwhelming evidence provides a significant opportunity to finally resolve the mystery surrounding Earhart's disappearance.
