I'll make a prediction here - and you may quote me - that she will not be found down there still holding her breath.

News Flash! I just got confirmation that shrapnel got confirmation that her plane has been found. I'll confirm further details as shrap makes them available. Signed, Jimmy Olson. I expect it should be front page news in every paper by tomorrow morning. 📰🗞️

Surprised a woman didn't find it.....they are great at digging up the past. A man will find it... They are great at drowning their sorrows.

type "Amelia Earhart" into your computer and press "Enter", it'll be like a small miracle when you see what happens.....

This is from my source which is pretty reliable…
An Australian foot patrol in 1944 engaged Japanese soldiers outside of Kokopo, PNG. They tracked the retreating Japanese soldiers across enemy lines deeper into the jungle. The Australians paused for quick rest (lunch break). After pressing on, about 30 minutes longer, they encountered a crashed plane. They could see only part of the plane as the jungle had grown over a good part of it.They made a fast investigation and pulled a VIN tag from an engine that torn off one of the wings. They pressed on NOT realizing they found her plane. Only later, after reviewing the data collected on the plane, did it come to light that, the VIN was to an engine on the Lockheed Electra gifted to Amelia from Purdue Univ. We located the tin cans from their lunch break and the portion of the jungle where they encountered the plane.

I’m not making a judgement call on your assertion but it seems like this mystery would have been solved 7 years after it went missing yet very intelligent people have spent 10’s of millions in recent years looking for it.

Don’t kill the messenger here. What is and what could be are not my making. I am only passing on information as I have gotten it from an archaeologist that has been chasing this for some time. There are all sorts of stories about her spying, or being found and living in anonymity, and other such speculation. If the plane was found for certain, it makes sense it would be international news, there is supposed to be a show about this on the Discovery Channel soon…

I cannot discount anything nor would I so take this thought as it is. Not many years ago mineral rights for an entire county in northern Minnesota were sold to an outfit from Colorado. They brought in a large dual bladed helicopter that ran a grid over the entire county area just under 1/4 mile parallel lines, from 1500 feet up. The bird had a huge wire hoop that hung under it as it flew the grid.
I met two guys working ground crew from it and was told underground or above that thing could pick up any trace of minerals or metals to a certain depth. They could adjust it to specific search targets.
If the plane is on land it would seem cost effective and time saving to run one of those over a suspected island and make short work of it?

There are "eyewitness" accounts of all sorts of events and sightings: Elvis, Hitler, Big Foot, ghosts, space aliens, Santa, and many more.
There's a word for those accounts: fiction.

There are reports that radio operators picked up transmissions from Earhart after the crash time frame. Any thoughts on this from you history guys, Shrap?

Osky This is part of the sophisticated equipment these guys have, which is a drone with the same kind of GPR that you are talking about. He says he will be back in the jungle soon and make a push for where the Aussies had seen the debris in 1944…
