💨 Abstract

A team from Purdue University claims to have located Amelia Earhart's missing plane off Nikumaroro Island in Kiribati, using satellite imagery that shows possible aircraft remnants. Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared in 1937. Evidence on the island, including artifacts and bones, supports the theory that they may have landed there instead of their intended destination, Howland Island. The team plans a multi-phase mission to confirm and recover the aircraft.
