The Taraia Object: Amelia Earhart’s Aircraft?
Archaeology Channel ^ | 01/15/2025 | Kyle Solomons

Posted on 04/03/2025 6:49:22 PM PDT by Az Joe

The Taraia Object is the commonly used name for a visual anomaly in the lagoon of Nikumaroro Island in the south Pacific Ocean. Its location is alongside the Taraia Peninsula, which projects southwestward from the north side of the lagoon. The Object is visible in satellite images, aerial photos, drone footage, and video footage of the lagoon. Its location is directly east of the Tatiman Passage, which connects the lagoon to the open ocean. (Satellite image)

Wow, it would be crazy if they found her plane after 90 years or whatever.

The images shown and the analysis sounds like some man-made object is there. It is in the area and direction she would have been flying.

If it was discovered in 2020, why the wait till 2025 to check it out?

Right? They've observed it by satellite, helicopter, and drone. You would think that, during this time, maybe a diver or two could check out that shallow wreckage to determine if it could even possibly be part of that plane before spending all that money on an archaeological expedition.

It doesn’t look like an aircraft of that vintage to me. It may be that no one wants to waste the money to look.

Just walk & wade out to it from the beach.

Just watched it. Hard to say, speculative but let’s go see.

Thanks. I was just wondering “If they know it’s there, why is no one going to get it?”

Apparently, some people have been on the atoll years ago and found interesting small objects, but did not see the object in the water.

They tell everyone in the world where it is. What’s to stop someone from going there and “discovering” it themselves?
