So, this is clearly visible on google earth and no one has noticed it for 90 years?

The navigator had a harder job than the pilot. He was male. Just saying.

Never knew until now that she had a navigator.

Was always sold as first female round-the-word-flight. But they forgot to tell us that Fred in the back drinking coffee and navigating.

How does it take 5 years to get there? I feel like I could be there in a couple weeks if I really wanted to.

What if she found her way to Japan and became part of the broadcasting team for Tokyo Rose?

They’re only putting this out because that other guy claimed he found it last year. He got so much publicity that it made these Purdue people jealous. They think they are entitled to be the only ones to find it.

And that picture is 100% a couple of trees. Even these people know it’s not a plane.

in the 80s, every few months there was a report of Noah's Arc being found.

In the same timeframe that the president releases the information no one asked for about her accident? What are the odds!

The TIGHAR folks been looking at that island for years; it has the most clues. Their expeditions have found something deep of the side of the island shelf.

One of the Microsoft guys' sister has an asset that could solve this, and its sitting docked.

That pic looks like an MQ-1 Predator drone to me...really long skinny wings.

I work with a bunch of college age 20 something's much like the folks at Purdue; I question their ability to identify anything that is not a cell phone...
