The disappearance of Amelia Earhart is one of America’s biggest mysteries.
The iconic aviator who became the first woman to cross the Atlantic tragically went missing while attempting to fly around the globe in 1937.
Many of the documents relating to her disappearance have been classified.
Until now!
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday announced the Trump admin have released a new batch of documents relating to Earhart’s disappearance including her last message.
CBS News provided further details of the declassified records and revealed what was Earhart’s last known communications on this earth:
The U.S. National Archives has published a batch of newly declassified government records on Amelia Earhart, the American aviator who vanished over the Pacific in 1937.
Earhart went missing while on a pioneering round-the-world flight with navigator Fred Noonan, and her disappearance is one of the most tantalizing mysteries in aviation lore.
President Trump ordered the declassification and release in September of all U.S. government records related to Earhart’s ill-fated final flight.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the documents released on Friday included “newly declassified files from the National Security Agency, information on Earhart’s last known communications, weather and plane conditions at the time, and potential search locations, as well as subsequent inquiries and theories regarding her disappearance.”
Further documents would be publicly released on the National Archives website on a “rolling basis” as they are declassified, Gabbard said in a statement.
The documents include a July 1937 radio log from Itasca, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter that was deployed to support Earhart’s flight around the world. Itasca was the last ship to have radio contact with Earhart and Noonan before their aircraft disappeared. The phrase “Earhart Unheard” appears numerous times in the log.
According to the National Archives, the last communication from Earhart’s plane came at about 8:43 a.m. on Jul 2, 1937: “We are on the line 157 337 wl rept msg we wl rept…”
The documents also include military reports about the search as well as memos, telegrams and newspaper clippings.
Among them is the July 16, 1960, front page of the San Mateo Times with the headline: “Ex-Serviceman Claims He Saw Earhart Grave.” Former Army Sergeant Thomas Devine told the newspaper that while serving in Saipan, a native on the island showed him an unmarked grave of two white people “who came from the sky.” Devine said he believed it to be the grave of Earhart and Noonan.

Beginning today, at @POTUS’ direction, records related to Amelia Earhart’s final flight and disappearance 88 years ago will be declassified and shared with the American people.
These records include reports, maps, and other documents tracing Earhart’s final journey, her last known communications and location, and the initial search following her disappearance.
Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump’s leadership, a historic initiative is underway to digitize and publicly release these records from across the federal government, including newly declassified files today from @NSAgov.
As agencies identify additional files, the new documents will be uploaded to @USNatArchives on a rolling basis, alongside those previously released, at http://archives.gov/ameliaearhart.

Files I’d like to see declassified...
On the SS Morro Castle.
“My God, it’s full of Dave Bowmans!”
Now do Epstein. Don’t wait 100 years.
“Help, Jane - stop this crazy thing!”
“I got three Nip meatballs on my tail and they’re closing in fast!”
I recall reading an article maybe twenty years ago that they found Judge Crater’s body buried in the sand while excavating for an aquarium at Coney Island.
I would suspect that the files have been classified because Earhart was possibly captured and tortured by the Japanese.
After WW2 was over keeping things like this secret was a practice for the US Government that needed Japan as an ally against the Russians and Chinese.
"Oops" EOM
Deep state orobably still hiding stuff from the Mayflower.

This has got to be the least interesting mystery ever.
Earhart was a spectacularly unqualified aviator. Friends and associates warned her before and during the transglobal flights. She and her navigator attempted their last leg of over 2000 miles without proper training in radio or in radio direction-finding.
It was a miracle she made it as far as she did. Her attempt was a triumph of greed and vainglory over common sense.
Can anyone translate what she was saying in that last message?
Hmmm...so Epstein files will be declassified in 2025 + 88 = 2113.
* “I have information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Diane Jezebel Rodham Clinton who will be born in 1947 and marry Bill Clinton in 1975...”*
Thank you for that! I’m still cracking up over “Hillary Diane Jezebel Rodham Clinton…… Funny as hell!
LOL. I was going to go with D-R-I-N-K-Y-O-U-R-O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E but I like yours better.
