Personally, I have heard about this “mystery” for years and don’t understand the obsession with it. She either crashed in the ocean or on an island. If an island, she was never found. The exact where of it almost does not matter to me.
I have heard some speculate she was somehow captured by the Japanese. That is the most interesting of the possibilities. However, if that was the case, you would think it would have come out somehow after the War.
But Tony Romeo, a pilot and a former US Air Force intelligence officer who sold all his commercial properties to pay for his search,
That could be a plane but we won’t know until we lay eyes on it. Saw another article about this and the water there is rather deep. I think it said 5,000 meters?
She kind of reminds me of that YouTube babe from Tennessee who kept doing selfies of her trying to fly a plane. Didn’t end well for her either.
It’s on the tarmac right next to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370….on fantasy island. The plane…the plane.
Wow! Again! She sure left a lot of planes scattered about the place. CAnt wait to read the article.
This story has never tweaked my interest, and I am an aviation enthusiast.
I always viewed this story of Amelia Earhart the same way I view any story about an aviator of any sex who flew long distances across water prior to WWII and disappeared...things happen, and in those aircraft, they aren’t unexpected.
There is a whole lotta planes that went down in the area in WWII.

EXCERPT:
The Douglas A-20 bomber was built in the USA and delivered to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. It was then assigned to the 51st Mine-Torpedo Aviation Regiment of the Naval Air Force of the Soviet Baltic Fleet. On 18 September 1944, the aircraft attacked the German freighter M/S Moltkefelt, which was sailing in the escort of the minesweeper M 151. The anti-aircraft fire from the minesweeper proved to be accurate and effective. As a result the pilot Gusman Miftahudinov, who commanded the aircraft, had to launch it.
The entire crew of three, consisting of pilot Miftahudinov, gunner/radio operator Gleb Lokalov and navigator Yuri Aksenov, left the sinking machine and boarded a life raft. They then drifted in the raft for several days until they reached the Åland Archipelago. Near Kökar Island, they were rescued by the Finnish coastguard from Motor Yacht unit MP-103.

That image looks more MiG-15, F-86 than Lockheed. The engine pylons are also nowhere to be seen.
NOT Amelia’s aircraft, IMHO. More likely something early jet age.
Seemingly every year or two, someone claims to have solved the mystery of Amelia Earhart. Great way to get clicks.
Are there human remains within the aircraft? Is there anything to compare with for DNA testing?
Somehow all these "near future" extends to years and years and everyone forgets about it. If he believed it really was the plane, every billionaire would be throwing money at a project just to get their name in the headlines by next week.
Its a whale.
Wings are wrong.
Wings don’t bend backwards, they break off.
If it is a plane, it appears to have swept wings.
Judge Crater and her eloped to Pitcairn island and lived happily ever after.
So what. She was a lousy navigator and paid the ultimate price.
