A team of researchers who have been trying for years to figure out what happened to lost pilot, Amelia Earhart, may be close to solving their mystery! A sonar may have found a piece of the plane Amelia Earhart was piloting when she disappeared in 1937!
The International Group of Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) have worked for years and had concluded that a small Pacific island was the location where Amelia Earhart’s plane crashed. In 2012, the group took underwater sonar images which have just been fully analyzed and may reveal parts of Earhart’s plane!
The theory is that Amelia Earhart’s plane crashed on reef flats and then washed into the water. If this new discovering is in fact Earhart’s plane, then the theory will be proven correct and the world will be one step closer to finding out what exactly happened to her!
TIGHAR is now looking to secure funding to have all the sonar date properly analyzed as well as for a trip back to the island.
