Mystery Of Bones Linked To Amelia Earhart Deepens, More Evidence Found

Amelia Earhart world renowned pilot, first woman to make a full transatlantic flight and first pilot to fly from coast to coast may not have perished in an airplane crash as first presumed.

As previously reported by News Everyday, the world famous pilot, may not have died in a plane crash, but may have actually been a castaway on a tropical island, for what could have been days or months, before dying.

On an uninhabited pacific island a skeleton was found, which in highly resembled the one of Amelia Earhart. Her measurements were not written down anywhere, but from historical photos, professionals have managed to get relative proportions, which quite much resemble those of the discovered skeleton on the uninhabited island.

Live Science adds up on the controversial topic. A TIGHAR (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) representative mentioned that the similarities between the two skeletons do not prove that the skeleton really belonged to the famed pilot. But they are quite optimistic about it, since measurements of the skeleton made in 1941 match up to the measurements which TIGHAR has found.

Forensic anthropologist Ann Ross who is not involved with the TIGHAR says that their methods are not reliable. What is even more, Ross questions the measurements themselves, as he has met some discrepancies in the medicinal language used by the doctor on site.

Some speculated that Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 and disappeared July 2, 1937. The widely accepted theory is that Amelia’s plane “Electra” ran out of fuel and mid-flight and crashed somewhere in the ocean. Another popular theory is that Amelia was captured by the Japanese forces that theory arose from similarities between “Electra” and the “Mitsubishi A6M Zero”.

What really happened to the famous pilot and her navigator is still unknown. Which of the theories do you believe? Do you have ideas of your own?
