I could come up with a good story too and as long as some wealthy investor wants to foot the bill, they could come dig a pool sized hole in my yard.

But where they're buried - assuming this is actually their grave! - has little to do with where they crashed/were forced down/ran out of fuel and were later captured/died of lack of water and were found.

If bodies are present, then perhaps more can be determined.

Tinian, one of the islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, that may contain the graves of Earhart and Noonan, reports Pacific Daily News. The Mariana Islands are the southern most islands of the U.S. Territory of Guam.

Guam is a U.S. territory. The Northern Mariana Islands, which do not include Guam, are a commonwealth of the U.S. And they are to the north, not the south, of Guam.

Yeah, I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean either.

Cool, thanks! I'm not an Earhart afficionado or anything; this just sounded slightly more credible to me than the other crackpot theories I've heard over the years.

You mean like the one where she's picked up by a UFO and ends up meeting with Captain Janeway and the USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant?

It could have happened.

Or we could apply the democRATs' WMD theory. We haven't found her; therefore, she never existed.

Earhart chose to stay on the planet they found her on, after realizing she'd been abducted by aliens to be a template for a whole colony, based on her DNA and other earth people's DNA who'd been abducted over the years. She chose to stay on the planet to help them start a new human life there. I thought it was entertaining; not the BEST Voyager though. hehe

Live long and prosper!
