I think that Amelia Earhart was a remarkable woman and I am currently doing a report on her. When I first heard about her I was so curious and wanted to know what happened to her. I think she landed in the ocean because their is more water in the pacific than land such as a island.You can kinda compare this to the titanic.The boat was found on the very bottom of the ocean and that’s where i think Amelia’s plane is.

I think Amelia Earhart was an inspiration to everyone. To show to everyone that girls can do as much as boys can. that we all have the same interest. Who cares if she was a spy. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that she is known for her bravery.

No one has mentioned the book by Fred Goerner (sp?) from the 1960′s, I think. I recall its title as “The Search for Amelia Earhart.” He makes a case for the spy mission with a camera installed just before the Howland leg. He was a CBS TV newsman in San Fransisco and claims to have interviewed natives who saw a white woman in captivity as well as finding out some documents about Tinian or Saipan were still classified with no explanations forthcoming and lots of other circumstantial “evidence.” Amelia is quoted by her sister (was it?) as saying there were parts of her flight she couldn’t discuss. I found it to be a persuasive book.

Whatever may have happened , the Earhart-Noonan crew has hever been on Gardner / Nikumaroro since the fuel reserves after reaching the Howland region were insufficient to reach any other land points than Howland & nearby Baker Island . The TIGHAR “clues” and “findings” belong to their “hypothesis” which is a sheer nonsense theory , by them named “scientific” to hold up publicity for commercial reasons only . At davidkbowman.com “Technical Articles” one can find computation in European Journal of Navigation 2008-2011 showing the insufficient fuel load , for 1h05m , whereas for Gardner 2 3/4 hrs would have been necessary .

If explorers searched more about her…..i really wanna know what happened to her…In my opinion..there are 2 matters.the first is that she ran out of fuel…and the second is that she was killed by Japanese..or other people because they could think that it was a warplane…

There’s no doubt that this is an alien abduction in an area of the Pacific known to have similar traits as the Bermuda Triangle.

One thing’s for sure…

Earhart’s Electra DID NOT crash near Howland Island.

That area was extensively searched by two different deep-sea exploration companies and they found not a trace of the plane.

(This gives me a bit of a thrill. I’ve felt for a while that Elgen Long was extremely arrogant and dismissive of other more likely theories. Now he has egg on his face! The story continues… It most likely will be solved by a legal/paper trail rather than archaeology at this point in time I’m afraid… unless somebody finds wreckage that’s indisputably from the Electra.))

Also, the Gardner Island/Nikamauro Island tail-chase is over. Over two decades worth of wasting time and spreading cockamamie theories and TIGHAR has nothing to show for its efforts! Not a shred of the “evidence” they dug up has panned out.

There is more support for the idea that Earhart and Noonan ended up in the Marshall Islands and were transported to Saipan than any of the other theories. It has more weight in terms of eyewitnesses and the behavior of federal agencies since World War II.

Earhart DID NOT return to the US mainland and assume a new identity. She died out in the Pacific. What is fairly certain is that she did not perish on or near either Howland Island OR Gardner Island!!!!

Probably the most likely scenario is that she got lost over the Pacific after taking off from Lae, and run out of fuel. She then either crashed or miraculously landed on the water. In either case, the Electra will be on the 4 km deep bottom somewhere in the Pacific and we will never find it. And if we would, it would not change the legend she was, and still is to us today, even though her attempt to fly around the world became obsolete, since soon commercial airliners would do the same.

Some scienctists found what they think are her bones.(I found that fact on a website(=))
