Not looking as solid any more:
:smack:
Except that’s the one thing we do know: she didn’t just crash into the sea and die…she did survive a landing somewhere shortwave radio transcripts prove this. I’ve never been able to understand how people can just say she crashed and died ,the end. This is like a criminal case with no eye witness, you either except the circumstantial evidence and make a conclusion based on that or you let it dangle for ever with a mistrial.
Are there transcripts that we may read? I am amazed that they were not found if they had a working radio.
absolutely yes, easy to google.
That claim comes from the same people (actually this one obsessed guy named Ric Gillespie, who has a strong record of presenting any scrap as final, inarguable, positive proof of his theory, and ignores all others).
Earhart’s last known transmission was from the air. At least they’re reporting it accurately:
Photo thoroughly debunked. It was first published in a book in Japan in 1935.
It took some Japanese blogger about 10 minutes to find it. :rolleyes:

I came here to post that. Assuming it’s the same photo and the publishing date is correct, this seems to debunk the whole thing.
But then they wouldn’t have a documentary to sell, would they?
Somebody zoomed in a lot for the photo the History channel.
The original looks much different. It is the same photo without zooming in.
Opens up all kinds of new avenues for exploitation, er, exploration…
AMELIA EARHART! TIME TRAVELER!
Debunked it by proving it to be bunk. He bunked it.
Amazingly, despite the perfect natural fit, it appears that Amelia Earhart has not yet appeared on Doctor Who. I trust the current producers are hard at work rectifying this situation.
Here is the full book if you want to browse it. (The photo in question is number 44.) Here is the page at the full resolution of the scan.
I know this story excites a lot of people, but you just can’t place high expectations on new evidence showing up after all these years. It’s really not a huge mystery, a plane goes down in the South Pacific in the 1930s, there’s no reason to expect to ever know what happened to it. Then a new discovery is tied to a documentary being hyped on TV, that doesn’t shout credibility.
I’m just astonished that anyone ever thought the “Earhart” figure was a woman, when it appears to be wearing identical white shirt and dark trousers as the two men to its left. Talk about wishful thinking.
You’re not helping us to wish this to be true … I want this to be a smoking gun, therefore it is a smoking gun … let’s all start wishing this to true now, I need the help …
Airplanes are bigger than bread boxes … just how hard is it to find one on the bottom of the ocean? …
CNN spent weeks on that issue, broadcasting almost 24/7, not too long ago.
Relative to the size of an ocean, an airplane and a breadbox (and an apartment building and a ping pong ball) are essentially the same size. And most of the ocean bottom is dark. So–very.
This is going to sound like threadshitting, but it’s an honest question.
After having read through the posts and responses and having been scorched by the heat of Philster’s and Cory El’s (and a few others’) debate, I sat back and had to wonder, “WHY are people obsessed with this?”
I mean, some contributors are obviously laughing at the CTs, some are just yawning, and there’s obviously a lot of time and money being thrown on research, investigation, and presentations. But while someone said it as a joke, the fact is that the celebrity aviatrix would be dead by now – as would Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, et al. I don’t mean to be disrespectfully dismissive because I realize every* life is important.
So why keep the conspiracy accusations going? Just because it was a celebrity whom we lost at the peak of stardom?
–G?
*But they didn’t find Jahe Turner in San Diego, either, and nobody’s writing volumes on the matter.
