New details about the last moments of legendary aviator Amelia Earhart’s fateful voyage to fly around the world at the equator have emerged, adding
to the evidence that she didn’t just vanish off the face of the Earth.
Dozens of radio signals that were previously dismissed have been found to be credible transmissions from the famed pilot just after her Lockheed Model
10E “Electra“ went down on July 2, 1937, according to a new study.
It has been generally accepted that Earhart’s plane simply ran out of fuel and crashed in the Pacific as she searched for Howland Island, the final
refueling stop before flying on to Honolulu and then California.
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), the group planning an expedition to search for the lost crash site and final resting
place of Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan, said the radio transmissions entered the air waves just hours after Earhart sent out her last
in-flight message.
TIGHAR presented their findings during a three-day conference last week in Arlington, Virginia. Among the discoveries: a small broken cosmetic jar
found on an uninhabited island in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati, which the group believes proves where Amelia Earhart’s plane went
down nearly 75 years ago.
