"New Discovery: The Search for Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane"
A private pilot's sonar image has reignited interest in the disappearance of Amelia Earhart's plane in 1937, with a South Carolina-based sea exploration company, Deep Sea Vision, potentially capturing an outline of her Lockheed 10-E Electra at a depth of 16,000 feet. The next step is to visually confirm the object, but debates arise about its proper handling if found. The potential discovery could shed light on Earhart's fate and aviation history, but questions remain about the legal and preservation aspects of raising the plane from the ocean floor.

Possible Discovery of Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane in Deep Ocean
A marine robotics company claims to have captured a sonar image of what is believed to be the aircraft aviator Amelia Earhart flew before her disappearance, providing a potential clue to one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. The discovery, made in the Pacific Ocean, supports the Date Line theory, suggesting that Earhart's navigator miscalculated the navigation by forgetting to turn back the date, leading to a westward navigational error. The CEO of the company hopes the findings can help answer questions regarding Earhart's disappearance almost a century ago.
Possible Discovery of Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane Wreckage in Pacific
A South Carolina exploratory team claims to have found the plane Amelia Earhart was flying when she disappeared in 1937 using sonar images from a previously unexplored area of the Pacific Ocean. The robotic company Deep Sea Vision believes the wreckage matches the unique features of Earhart's Lockheed 10-E Electra aircraft and suggests that she may have attempted a gentle water landing. The exact coordinates of the find are being kept private pending further examination, and the discovery has sparked intrigue and calls for further investigation from experts in the field.
"Sonar Image Sparks Hope in Amelia Earhart Plane Search"
Former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer Tony Romeo, who sold his commercial property investments to fund his search, believes he may have discovered the plane Amelia Earhart was flying when she vanished in 1937. Using high-tech gear, including an underwater drone, he captured a sonar image of an aircraft-shaped object on the ocean floor near Howland Island. Experts are intrigued but not ready to definitively confirm the find, requesting clearer images with details such as a serial number matching Earhart's plane. Romeo plans a return expedition to obtain better images of the mysterious object, which has sparked interest from the Smithsonian and other experts.
