Amelia Earharts' Plane Found in Depths of Pacific After $11MIL Search -Former US Air Force Intelligence Officer Claims to Have Solved Most Enduring Aviation Mystery of All Time

Is this Amelia Earharts' plane? Sonar image from uninhabited Pacific island could show remains of aviators’ aircraft Electra that disappeared in 1937

An ocean explorer claims to have solved aviations’ greatest mystery by finding the wreckage of Amelia Earharts’ missing plane.

The American aviators’ aircraft vanished over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 during her attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world.

Her unexplained fate has since become a source of widespread speculation as accident investigators were unable to locate her body or any wreckage.

But Tony Romeo, a former US air force intelligence officer who sold his property business to fund an $11 million deep-sea search for the missing plane, believes he has taken a sonar image which reveals its location.

Mr Romeo and two of his brothers, all pilots, were motivated by the prospect of using their flying know-how to help solve “the perfect riddle”.

“We always felt that a group of pilots were the ones that are going to solve this, and not the mariners,” he said.

Mr Romeo’s company, Deep Sea Vision, used an unmanned submersible to scan 5,200 square miles of ocean floor with sonar technology in the suspected area of Earhart’s crash.

After reviewing data from the research voyage, the team discovered an image of a blurry, plane-like shape 5,000m down at the bottom of the Pacific.

The sonar image was taken about 100 miles from Howland Island, halfway between Australia and Hawaii.

Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, had been expected to land at Howland Island in July 1937 to refuel during her quest to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the globe.

But the pair failed to arrive and were declared dead two years later, with US accident investigators concluding that the plane had crashed somewhere in the Pacific. No remains were ever found.

Mr Romeos’ mission follows a number of previous attempts to solve the mystery.

In 1999, Dana Timmer, an America’s Cup sailor, led a deep-water search near Howland Island. Although a promising shadow was spotted on sonar, Mr Timmer was unable to raise the cash to go back and verify his find.

Ten years later, a team put together by Ted Waitt, founder of the Gateway computer company, conducted a new Pacific search but to no avail. “We’re confident we know where Earhart isn’t,” the team announced afterwards.

Nauticos, an ocean exploration firm, launched three fruitless searches, in 2002, 2006 and 2017.

“It’s the only thing in my career that I’ve ever looked for and not found,” said Tom Dettweiler, a sonar expert who joined two of the searches and was part of the team that found the wreckage of the Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland in 1985.
