    Amelia’s plane lost fuel crashed into the water. They drowned and were eaten by fish. The plane is now being used as a home for a school of fish. Also that photo was taken 2 years before their disappearance.

    According to Wikipedia: "Japanese blogger Kota Yamano found the original source of the photograph in the Archives in the National Diet Library Digital Collection. The original source of the photo was a Japanese travel guide published in October 1935, implying that the photograph was taken in 1935 or before, and thus would be unrelated to Earhart and Noonan's 1937 disappearance"

      YES!! The photo was a co incidental likeness of the two fliers, taken 2 years before Earhart's flight. Gardner Island has too much evidence to not be the sight where she landed. A heel from a shoe, a shoe of the type and brand she wore, the cosmetic jar, the pen knife, Noonan's sextant box, a piece of aluminum that was like what was on the plane and the SOS heard in Florida from Earhart that mentioned the "Norchester City", a ship that was wrecked at Gardner Island. Her radio signal gave off harmonic radio waves that bounced off the ionosphere, and down to Florida. The girl who heard Amelia said she knew it was her voice, and that of a man who went crazy and was trying to take the microphone away from Earhart, the girl wrote down everything Earhart said. Navy pilots said they saw signs of habitation on Gardner island, without realizing there had been no inhabitants there for many years. Most researchers believe Gardner island was where she ended up.

      The photo is from ONE book in the Japanese Government archives. There are not hundreds of these books or thousands, there is just one of these books. It is not bound together like a normal book with the publishing date, it is a book with medal prongs that can easily be taken apart with a page added to it with the photo. How do they say it is from 1935? There is an ink stamp in the back of the book, like a librarians stamp that says 1935. Easy to fake this. The Marshall Island government said the dock they are standing on wasn't built until 1936 so the photo can't be from 1935. Many eye witnesses place them on Jaluit Island and then on Saipan. No eye witnesses place her and Noonan on Gardner Island.

    • @AvengerII
      @AvengerII 7 лет назад +10

      gavin Reid -- wrong. Even the Japanese source said the photo was taken in 1935.
      HARDLY 10 years too early. Earhart went missing in the 1937.
      Two, three years difference? It still raises the question. WHY was what appears to be an earlier generation copy (if not the original copy of the photo) in the US ONI files?
      The question now is is the Japanese blogger source reliable. HE has to be checked out, too.
      If you're going to call the conclusions of the program into question, make sure the guy raising the flag is also honest, too.
      It's not as if Japan doesn't have reasons to hide the facts of its pre-World War II activities, too, right?
      If you understood what Japan did in the Marshalls prior the outbreak of war with the US, then you'd understand why they have to be questioned. They HID a lot during that period... They also DIDN'T allow the US Navy to search the Marshalls for any possible traces of Earhart because they were establishing a military presence in the area. They were building bases and fortifications illegally in the area.

      @AvengerII 7 лет назад +52

      Japan will NEVER admit anything they did anything wrong in World War II.
      It's not their policy, it's not what they teach in their history books.
      Individual Japanese historians, soldiers, and a few politicians have been honest about the Imperial Government and military activities before and during World War II but the general Japanese government line is that they were victims in World War II. It infuriates everybody else in the region when the documentation so obviously shows otherwise. If that weren't enough, you have thousands of survivors -- POWs, civilians, comfort women, etc. -- who are still alive to testify to the fact.
      I have no doubt the Japanese Navy could have captured Earhart and Noonan.
      There are things about this story that are screwball from the American end: who funded the trip, the government support along the way, the airstrip on Howland Island that was basically unuseable, and scenarios suggesting that the final radio communiques were either a comedy of errors (failure to share radio wavelengths for direct communications in the final stretch) OR scripted to throw off anybody who wasn't in the know about a secret mission.
      I think the analogy to Gary Powers is closer to the truth than the official US government line.
      If something (this photo) FINALLY leaked out that demonstrates the storyline that she ended up in Saipan (in captivity) is the actual history, great. If not, well then it doesn't depend on just photo. There are too many people who saw events independently of each other that have corroborating stories. In addition, we have leaked documents from the FDR administration and later reports that clearly support the Saipan scenario more than this crash-and-sink business or the TIGHAR castaway movie script.
      It's been 80 years... It's about darn time the reality of the case gets disclosed.

      That picture has to be double-checked.
      There's leaping to conclusions it from both angles.
      Rush to say it's Earhart, rush to say it's illegitimate or mistaken context ( => likely mistaken context).
      I'd like to see someone else confirm the Japanese source for the dispute.
      It's not as if Japan wouldn't want to refute the story that its 1930s military kidnapped and was ultimately responsible for the death of an American icon, right?
      Seriously, it has to be double-checked.
      Oh, and FYI -- the Japanese didn't let the US military search the Marshall Islands in 1937... Probably because they were building bases and establishing a military presence in the area. On top of which they US Navy didn't want the IJN to know the Japanese security codes had already been broken.
      The release of the blogger based in Japan is a bit too convenient, too.
      There was a reason that photo was in the National Archives... Maybe they were mistaken in the late 1930s (about the context) but I find it interesting they appear to have a more primary resource. The picture in the Japanese blog is at least a second or third generation copy of the photo. Notice it's "dotty" and blurrier than the B & W glossy copy the investigators got a ahold of. WHY is the primary photo (or closer to it) in the US National Archves?!?
      It's amazing people are missing that point (on top of the fact the Japanese source has to be double-checked, too)!

    I watched a documentary on Disney the other day on this, it seems the most accepted theory is that she crashed on an extremely remote island and perished there. They think her plane crashed in shallow water then the tide carried it further out whir destroying the aircraft either further. I honestly don’t think Japan had anything to do with it. And this photo honestly is rather irrelevant when you all is considered

      No she ran out of gas and crashed near Howland island, where she was supposed to land. No gas to go any further, and Noonan isn't planning on flying anywhere else. Why fly hundred's of miles away when there is a coast guard cutter that can search for you as long as you stay as close to the intended island as you can.

    157-337 (LOP) was one of the last things Amelia said over the radio, there are two 157-337 (compass and true heading) which one was she referring to? There are also two 67 degrees ( compass and true heading) and both are located north of Howland Island, 67 degrees true heading (sunrise) is 11 degrees north of Howland and 67 degree compass heading (76.54 degree true heading) is approximately 1.5 degrees north of Howland. So which 67 degrees is the 157-337 LOP based on?

    The photo is very non-conclusive. There is no actual chain of custody for it, nor is the actual source verified. There is no way to verify when it was taken. It could have been an earlier photo, or even photo-shopped. Saipan is almost 1000 miles from where the plane most likely went down, near Nikumaroro Island. The Japanese had no military presence near Nikumaroro in 1937. Even Rabaul was not built until 1942. There would've been no reason to take Earhart and Noonan prisoner, nor for them to 'spying' on basically nothing. And if Japan was trying to be low key, they certainly would not have taken them almost 1000 miles away to their most significant presence in that part of the Pacific at the time, and not say anything, make demands for an apology, or other political purpose, during a time of already strained relationships between the US and Japan. Someone as famous as Earhart would have been a political goldmine for the Japanese as a prisoner.
    Other things to note is that the ship in the picture is not a Japanese naval vessel, but simply a cargo ship that would've been common anywhere in the Pacific at that time. The 'plane' the ship has supposedly hanging from the stern does not even look like it belongs in the picture. It has a different focus ad coloration palette. ANd it looks nothing like an Electra (no twin tail, or other identifiable features.), It could be a lens flare, or even added after the fact. There is also an object on the side of the ship that appears to be a watermark of some kind, and very similar in color and focus to the object in the rear. There are no identifiable numbers on the ship, nor does it appear to be flying a flag showing it's nationality. It could be any cargo ship, from any time in the 1930s, from anywhere. Another thing to note is that there are no Japanese guards in the picture, nor anyone with any kind of firearm or weapon. In fact, no military people, or even Japanese civilians appear to be in the picture. Does it make sense that the Japanese would take them, prisoner, then allow them to wander about on a pier with no guards, no restraints, nothing? If the two people in question are in fact Earhart and Noonan, they do not appear to be under any duress, and actually, seem to be just relaxing. The photo was probably taken in New Guinea before they started the next, and last leg of the journey, if it is them at all.
    A more logical explanation is that the photo is of something entirely different., There is very strong evidence that this exact photo was, in fact, published in a Japanese Travel Guide two years earlier. It appears on page 113 of the guide, "The life line of the sea My figure of the South Sea: South Sea archipelago photo book", which was published on Oct 10, 1935, in Palau.
    It is likely that the actual details of Earhart's and Noonan's disappearance will remain a mystery forever.

    A document that was misfiled and found in the US Archives addressed to FDR stated that Earhart was “probably” being held in Saipan. The US military had broken the Japanese naval code and they didn’t want to let the Japanese military know this as war with Japan was imminent. So the US turned their back on her and Noonan and they were executed in Saipan as US spies. Several US military serviceman saw her plane in a hangar and were ordered to destroy it. One service member stated that he found her flying jacket and her flight logs in her bag in a safe at the hangar where her plane hidden.

    those photos are so murky you can't see anything. You can't make a positive identification based on this kind of conjecture. I remember Ric Gillespie's first or second trip to the island, Nikki... in 1991, it was on DiscoveryChannel back then hosted by Lindsay Wagner(Bionic woman), and they found a supposed shoe heel. It was thrilling at the time and fingers were crossed that the mystery was solved. I kind of don't believe him anymore either. He said radio messages were heard from Earhart, indicating she had landed and the plane was intact in order to run the motors which provided power to the plane's radio. It's been said the radio messages were later proven fake(short wave radio guys fooling around) and yet if she survived long enough to keep sending radio messages why didn't the search planes see her when they criss crossed the island several times? no plane, no people. Gillespie says she landed on Nikki - whatever and that the plane was washed out to sea. Well if she landed on shore good enough to run the engines why didn't she taxi the plane closer into the brush where the surf couldn't pull it out. Its all bunk. The only one who knows where Amelia is or her fate is : DAVY JONES.

I believe the US govt & military have known all along what happened to them & just left them to their fates. Knowing their reasoning doesn't make me feel any better about it.

That Noonan was hurt badly. She wrote down word for word what she heard coming from her radio. Noonan was out of his mind trying to grab the radio from her.
