New Evidence Indicates Amelia Earhart Survived For a Time on Pacific Atoll

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-speck-against-the-sky dept.

In light of new evidence publicly released Friday showing artifacts believed to have been Amelia Earhart's, the U.S. Navy is prepping a mission to investigate the area where they were found. Next month marks the 75th anniversary of Earhart's disappearance, but the just-announced discovery of personal effects and the evidence of cooking represents the most concrete evidence yet that she did not simply crash into the ocean.
