Amelia Earhart Theory
On July 2nd, 1937, a female pilot named Amelia Earhart vanished while flying over the Bermuda Triangle. Researchers have investigated the things Amelia did before her famous flight, the theories that have been put forward about Amelia’s death, and the theories that involve the Japanese. Amelia Earhart did many amazing things before her well- known “around the world” flight. To start off, she graduated from high school in 1915. Shortly after that, Amelia took her first flying lesson on January 3rd, 1921, and six months later she bought her first plane, “The Canary”. She was the first woman to hold a record by rising an altitude of 14,000 feet, and on June 17th, 1928, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly the Atlantic. She also got

This first theory is the most accepted by citizens. People believe Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, got off course at a refueling stop at Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. So, they radioed the U.S Coast Guard. Amelia couldn’t spot an island in the distance, and the plane crashed and they sunk, killing both of them. It left no sign of where they landed. A second theory is Earhart landed safely on Gardner Island, but died before getting rescued by the U.S Coast Guard. This theory was made after someone discovered artifacts that could relate to Earhart on Gardner Island. The artifacts found were freckle cream and a piece of plane plexiglass. The T.I.G.H.A.R recently launched a 7th expedition to try and search for more clues that relate to Earhart. A third theory is she crashed on New Britain Island. It rests at the eastern edge of Papua New Guinea, which was right along the path of Earhart on her final legs. This theory was made by an Australian Army man claiming to find a plane with a “Pratt and Whitney” serial number. Earhart had a “Pratt and Whitney” serial number, but so did many other planes, so this theory is unlikely. A fourth theory is Earhart survived and made her way to Guadalcanal. In 1943, during World War Two, airmen reported seeing her, but it was probably Merle Farland, who works as a nurse in New Zealand who resembles Earhart. Also, it is said the soldiers might have had hallucinations. These are a few theories that people have suggested about Amelia Earhart’s
