- DSV discovers possible Amelia Earhart wreckage in Pacific at 16,000 feet.
- Sonar image resembles her plane; CEO optimistic about gentle landing.
- Supports “Date Line theory,” advancing 1937 mystery.
Deep Sea Vision (DSV), a renowned deep-sea exploration company, has announced a groundbreaking discovery that may finally unveil the mystery surrounding one of aviation’s greatest enigmas – the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan in 1937. DSV’s unmanned submersible captured a sonar image at a depth of 16,000 feet in the Pacific, revealing features resembling the distinctive structure of Earhart’s Lockheed Electra.
The area explored by DSV is located west of Howland Island, the intended destination of Earhart before her disappearance. Tony Romeo, CEO of DSV, expressed optimism about the find, suggesting that the contours visible in the image are consistent with the aircraft having been landed gently on the ocean’s surface.
This significant discovery covers an impressive 5,200 square miles of the ocean floor, surpassing all previous exploration efforts combined. The exact coordinates of the potential wreckage remain confidential as DSV plans additional missions to the site.
The findings align with the “Date Line theory,” proposed by former NASA employee Liz Smith in 2010. This theory suggests that a navigational error occurred when Noonan failed to account for the International Date Line, resulting in a 60-mile deviation from their intended course.
Amelia Earhart’s ambitious quest for global flight commenced on May 20, 1937, from Oakland, California, with the goal of becoming the first woman to fly around the world. Notably, she had already achieved the feat of being the first woman and second person ever to fly solo and nonstop across the Atlantic in 1932, following Charles Lindbergh’s historic accomplishment.
The disappearance of Earhart and Noonan occurred during their attempt to circumnavigate the globe, departing from Lae, Papua New Guinea, on July 2, 1937. If successful, Earhart would have become the first female pilot to complete the journey.
DSV’s recent discovery brings new hope and closure to the decades-long mystery surrounding the 1937 Pacific Plane Vanish, providing a potential breakthrough in understanding the fate of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan. Further investigations and missions are anticipated to shed more light on this historical aviation mystery.
