Another theory. Earhart.

Always liked the song ‘Amelia Earhart’s Last Flight’:

She wound up in a museum after all.

Quick - somebody ask CNN’s Don Lemon if Amelia Earhart might have flown into a black hole.

One thing which is basically hard evidence. The radio operator on a U.S. Navy ship, I think it was the Itasca, heard her very near and very strong radio signal.

This was shortly before they lost contact. She had to have gone down close to it.

Theoria,

Thank you for posting this article. I have never heard about this theory for the fate of Amelia Earhart before.

to Zot: The information about the engine data plate is interesting but I wonder what the rating of the more powerful replacement engines installed after her Electra was returned to California were compared to the originals used in the California - Hawaii flight? And if the 4 crated engines were NOT the ones installed that is mentioned in Fred Goerner’s “The Search for Amelia Earhart”?

She made contact with the ship at her intended target and was running low on fuel. It is a small island and there’s not any other land around. Therefore, she came down in the water, since she obviously didn’t land on the island.

Her flight was very poorly planned. She was dead as soon as she took off.

Thanks for the ping. Interesting discovery. Someone should go to New Britain Island and see if they can find the wreckage.

I recall reading some book about the screw-up with the time zones. Earhart was to use radio on the hour and half-hour, and telegraph(?) (morse code) on the quarters. Well the power was out on the island and messed things up. And the time zones were messed up as the ships in the harbor were still on the time zones for their port of origin. Something in there as well about the switch to go from radio to telegraph was installed backwards, and earlier trips Noonan had been on the wrong frequency. IIRC, Noonan was fairly new as her navigator.

I don’t recall it exactly - but pretty messed up. The screw up led to establishing Greenwich Mean Time so planes and ships would all be on the same time.

I have not heard of this theory either. The physical evidence of the tag seems pretty compelling, although the distances seem quite far. I can just imagine the conversation in the cockpit, the reasoning, the calculations, the odds, the risks.

Head to the Marshal Islands? Well then we have the Japs to deal with. Keep doing a grid search for Howell? Head back?
