An ocean exploration company took a sonar image of an object that resembled Amelia Earhart’s missing plane in January. New imaging confirmed it was a rock formation.
The disappearance of pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart more than 87 years ago has remained one of the most captivating mysteries in history, with a handful of explorers devoted to scouring the seas for any clue to her final whereabouts. Sonar imagery captured in January revealed a plane-shaped anomaly on the seafloor about 100 miles away from the Pacific Ocean’s Howland Island — the next location where Earhart was expected to land before she was declared lost at sea.
Romeo said other images further confirmed the rock formation, but the company is not yet releasing any material other than one sonar image, as a documentary on the expedition is in the works. The team may not return to the area to search farther until 2026, due to other missions, Romeo said. “It’ll be some time before we get back out there,” he added, “but we want to find it, and I believe we will.
