Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane Possibly Found After 88 Years
2025-07-13
Eighty-eight years after Amelia Earhart's disappearance during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe, Purdue University is launching an expedition to investigate a potential wreckage found near Nikumaroro Island in the Pacific Ocean. Satellite imagery from a decade ago revealed an object resembling a plane, now possibly buried under sand. The non-invasive expedition will use sonar and magnetometers, followed by careful excavation if necessary, to confirm the object's identity. This could finally solve the enduring mystery surrounding Earhart's fate and the location of her Lockheed Electra 10E.
