A potential breakthrough in the 87-year-old mystery surrounding Amelia Earhart’s disappearance emerged as sonar images of a plane-shaped mass, believed to be her Lockheed 10-E Electra, were released by adventurers Tony and Lloyd Romeo. The images, nearly lost due to hard drive issues during their $11 million Pacific Ocean expedition, may confirm a 14-year-old "Date Line" theory about Earhart's ill-fated flight. The theory suggests that navigator Fred Noonan's miscalculation sent them off course, leading to their disappearance in 1937. A follow-up expedition is planned to retrieve better sonar images and confirm the findings, potentially resolving the decades-long mystery.
