Amelia Earhart's Plane Remains Elusive After Latest Search

A recent expedition failed to locate the famed aviator's aircraft, revealing only a rock formation instead of the expected wreckage.

  • The US-based company Deep Sea Vision (DSV) believed they had found Earhart's plane earlier this year using sonar images showing a plane-like object.
  • A follow-up expedition discovered that the object was actually a rock formation, not Earhart's Lockheed Electra.
  • DSV's search was based on the 'Date-Line Theory,' suggesting navigational errors caused by a calendar miscalculation.
  • Despite the setback, DSV plans to continue their search across an additional 7,700 square miles of ocean floor.
  • Amelia Earhart's disappearance in 1937 remains one of aviation's greatest mysteries, with numerous theories but no definitive answers.
