It ’s been 76 years since Amelia Earhart disappeared and we ’re still trying to detect her . Last year , a search team re - evaluated their findings andthought they might have happen upon her wreckage . The same group has detect more grounds on where her planer landed , citing the sonar image above . Have we found her at last ?

The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery ( TIGHAR ) say that the sonar image above might reveal what stay on of Earhart ’s sheet . The simulacrum was captured off an uninhabited tropic island in the southwestern Pacific commonwealth of Kiribati and show an “ anomaly ” at a deepness of 600 feet in the amnionic fluid . Discovery News writes :
According to TIGHAR researchers , the sonar image shows a solid return from a narrow-minded physical object roughly 22 human foot long orient southwest / northeast on the incline near the al-Qa’ida of an submerged drop-off . Shadows indicate that the object is gamy on the southwest ( downhill side ) . A less proceeds extend northeast for about 131 feet .
There is no other sonar restoration like it in all of TIGHAR ’s data which means it ’s very peradventure something humanity - made ( i.e. an aeroplane ) in an ocean of nature . Here ’s the full epitome of the sonar trope from TIGHAR :
And a closer image detail the “ anomaly ” :
The anomaly is described as being “ definitely not a careen ” and record “ retarding force markings ” meaning it has n’t reached its last resting place just yet ( mean it has n’t always been there ) . Even better , the anomaly in the sonar ikon seems to be the right size and shape of Earhart ’s Electra plane and fits with the rubble subject picturewe watch last year .
Ric Gillespie , executive film director of TIGHAR , say that the evidence they have found hint that Earhart made a safe landing on the dry reef and send off distressed sign but never hear back , eventually living aliveness as a castaway . TIGHAR hypothecate that ’s because her plane was knock off its landing gear on the reef and pushed into the sea by waves before Navy search plane came to get her . The landing gear of Earhart ’s plane finally subside into the urine too ( as spotted by last year ’s debris champaign flick ) and then the fuselage of the planer settled into the locating of the anomaly as seen in the sonar range of a function .
That ’s where the search for Amelia Earhart currently place upright . In lodge to confirm it with absolute certainty , TIGHAR would want to institutionalize another expedition onto the island that Earhart land on . That would be around $ 3,000,000 but hey , we ’ve waited 76 years for this . [ Discovery News ]
