US researchers launch new mission to solve mystery of Amelia Earhart’s fate | Amelia Earhart
Researchers, a new task is being launched to find Amelia Earhart’s long kidnapping plane on Wednesday after the new clues showing that it may have collided on a remote island in the South Pacific.
According to Richard Pettigrew, the President of the Archaeological Heritage Institute in Oregon, Richard Pettigrew, a part of the Lockheed Electra 10e of Earhart, a isolated isolated isolated isolated from Fiji in Kiribati.
“What we have here is the greatest opportunity to close the case, Pet Pettigrew said in a news bulletin. “We think we have no choice but to proceed with a very strong evidence, and hopefully return with evidence.”
Earhart and his navigateur Fred Noonan disappeared on July 2, 1937, leaving behind one of the most amazing aviation mysteries in history during the attempts to travel 88 years ago.
Now, PurDie University, which Earhart once taught and contributed to the financing for its flight, is organizing a team to travel to Nikumaroro this November this November. The group hopes to reveal and save the ruins of the plane.
“We believe that we owe to Amelia and her heritage in PurDie to fulfill her desire to bring Electra back to PurDie if possible, Steve said Steve Schultz, the general consultant of the university. NBC News.
Pettigrew believes that the detected object in the satellite photo is aligned with Earhart’s plane and size and material. He also stated that his position was close to the intended route and that the four of the emergency radio transmissions were thought to have emerged. Pettigrew said the image was taken in 2015 a year after the image was exposed to the field by changing the sand. He then presented the findings to PurDie.
Pettigrew, Earhart’s existence on the island, among the additional signs of American -made tools and a small bottle of drugs.
In 2017, four specially trained dogs and archaeologists from the International Historical Aircraft Rescue Group (Tighar) also searched Nikumaroro.
Still, not everyone is convinced. Tighar’s General Manager Ric Gillespie found the island in 12 times in the previous 12 times and believes that Earhart probably landed and died. However, he doubts that the satellite image shows a plane. Instead, NBC told NBC that the object could be a coconut palm tree and thought it could be a root ball pushed to the land during a storm.
Schultz said Earhart aims to return the plane to PurDie after the journey, so that it can be examined by future aviation students. The PurDie Research Foundation approved a $ 500,000 fund for the first stage of the journey.
It will take six days for the team to reach Nikumaroro by boat, and will be five days to call the object on the island and try to define it as a missing plane.
