A sonar image initially believed to show Amelia Earhart's plane was identified as a natural rock formation by Deep Sea Vision, a marine robotics firm. The image, taken near Howland Island, sparked excitement earlier this year but was later confirmed not to be Earhart's Lockheed 10-E Electra. Despite the setback, the company plans to continue searching for Earhart's crash site.
