They have already found evidence on the island that there were Americans on that island.

It's come in bits and pieces over several years, and from the same general site on the island (except for the aluminum). From memory: part of an American pocket knife of the brand/model listed on Earhart's manifest; the American heel to an woman's blucher (flat-heeled shoe), Earhart's era and approximately Earhart's size; the broken bottom of an American hand lotion bottle of a type used by Earhart, of her era; part of a cosmetics compact of the type used by Earhart, or the same era; a Sextant box of the type used by Fred Noonan, of the right era and style based on serial number; and a few other items, such as aircraft aluminum used by natives (it was once inhabitated) on the other side of the island with a rivet pattern similar to that of an Electra.

Nikumaroro is a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. Whoever she was, an American woman was appears to have been stranded there during Earhart's era.

You saw the same TV program that I saw. :-)

I didn’t want to go into so much detail.
