Researchers are looking for answers and embarking on a special expedition following the 88th anniversary of the disappearance of American aviator Amelia Earhart.
The Perdue Research Foundation (PRF, based in Indiana) and Archaeological Legacy Institute (ALI, based in Oregon) announced on Wednesday the "Taraia Object Expedition" project.
Researchers will head to the remote island of Nikumaroro, which is halfway between Australia and Hawaii, according to a joint press release from the two agencies.

Is a myth that her piloting skills were terrible?

Are there not more important things to research?

They're going to waste all of that time and money just to find out it's a log or a rock.

Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure I’ve found her airplane.
So, do I get a prize or something?

So much legend around a failure, because she was a she.

I know that place is remote and they've been out there before, but man that looks pretty close to shore.
Can't you send one person out there to check it out?
It's probably deceptively deep or even more remote than one can imagine.

I imagine the people who discovered the wreckage of Titantic should have found something better to do as well?

Just have someone swim down there and see if there are curb scuff marks on the tires. If there are then it was her plane.

The Taraia Object is the commonly used name for a visual anomaly in the lagoon of Nikumaroro Island in the south Pacific Ocean. Its location is alongside the Taraia Peninsula, which projects southwestward from the north side of the lagoon. The Object is visible in satellite images, aerial photos, drone footage, and video footage of the lagoon. Its location is directly east of the Tatiman Passage, which connects the lagoon to the open ocean.
quote:
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) proposes that Nikumaroro Island is the final destination of Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, both of whom famously disappeared during their 1937 attempt to fly around the world (Gillespie 2024; King 2012; King et al. 2001). In support of its longstanding hypothesis, TIGHAR has compiled a huge body of evidence from many sources, including a dozen visits to the island between 1989 and 2019.
Decades of TIGHAR research on this topic are detailed on the TIGHAR website . Our research strongly suggests that the Taraia Object is the wreckage of the Lockheed Model 10E Electra aircraft that carried Earhart and Noonan during that attempt.
