Another theory. Earhart.

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.

Interesting but stilll no one has a clue.

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.

Unless and until the twin-engine wreck that an Australian army team found in the East New Britain jungle in 1945 is rediscovered, this loose end will forever irritate and annoy researchers who take such findings seriously.”

That is the bottom line isn't it.
Look for the plane on New Britian. Tom

Thanks for posting this. I read the whole article and found it interesting. Lots of theiries but I always like the Jap one.

Very interesting read! Thanks for posting it all, Theoria.

Could be, or the numbers could’ve been written later and it could be a hoax.

Find that engine if you want to find the plane.

One of the weekend morning news shows recently did a story on credible reports that numerous everyday Americans picked up Earhart distress calls days after she went missing with their shortwave radios. Apparently the atmospheric conditions bounced her signal all those thousands of miles.

Fascinating. I wonder if there is any way to determine forensically when exactly the aircraft ID numbers were written on that map. If they were written during the war by the patrol then that would seem to be pretty strong evidence. Also a report would have been passed along to the Americans with the aircraft information.
