That's the question raised by tantalizing evidence published this week by teams trying to find out what happened to famed aviator Amelia Earhart, who vanished along with navigator Fred Noonan during a doomed attempt to fly around the world in 1937. Researchers publicized images recorded by search teams scanning the ocean floor nearly a year ago near Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific.
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery raised the prospect of a big break in the case by publishing an image online. It showed something -- hard for the layman to size up -- on the ocean floor. The group said, "It's the right size, it's the right shape and it's in the right place."
This discovery could be huge for history if in fact the actual plane. It would provide an explanation to what really happened to Amelia and clues towards her death. There are many possibilities to why that plane may be there but results are being checked and it might take a while before we hear any more.
