The disappearance of Amelia Earhart is one of the great unsolved mysteries, although a recently-discovered photo is being touted as a vital clue to the aviation pioneer’s fate.

Earhart, who was attempting to fly around the world, disappeared on July 2, 1937 during a flight from Papua New Guinea to Howland Island in the Pacific. Researchers claim that new evidence from U.S. Government archives may finally solve the mystery of what happened to the record-breaking pilot.

A two-hour documentary “Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence” will reveal the documents when it airs on the History channel July 9. Investigators will present the theory that Earhart survived her final flight after crash-landing in the Marshall Islands. The aviator, they say, was then captured by the Japanese military and died in their custody on the island of Saipan. The investigators also claim that the U.S. government may have covered up Earhart’s fate, citing the possibility that she was on a spying mission.

Historians, flying buffs, history buffs and WWII buffs care.

That said, this show sounds like another, "What if maybe" show masquerading as a documentary. Viewers eat this crap up for topics like sasquatch, alien visits and UFOs where repeated suppositions become 'fact'. Unfortunately, this sort of nonsense has permeated television today, including so called news networks.

The photo is out of focus...big-time...

The photo is dated 1937?

Who wrote the date on the photo?

A retired FBI INVESTIGATOR IS BEHIND THE WHOLE INVESTIGATION AND OR BOOK/SHOW...

IS HE HONEST?

Is he TRUSTWORTHY?

I have no idea, but I suspect the FBI HIRED A FEW
HONEST PEOPLE OVER THE 80? year history.

If he was ever in the
SECRET (SPECIAL?) SURVEILLANCE GROUP(SSG)
^^^THAN HE IS A LYING COWARD FELON CRIMINAL

Yes, where crystal vibration cure disease, RollEyes aliens make daily visits, vaccinations that have saved millions are called poison and the news 'content' is dictated by the opinion or designs of corporations.

Thanks.

Any time I'm reminded of the final cut or it pops in my head for whatever reason, it's stuck there until I listen to the album start to finish.

Probably some brain damage or something from the time I was on a mushroom trip listening to it. The part where the "hold on to the dream" lyrics seamlessly fade into saxophone solo threw me into an out of body experience and I watched myself enjoy the rest of the album. It was weird.

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.....

The mystery surrounding Amelia Earhart's disappearance has bewildered many for years. Some have proposed that her plane simply crashed and sank, while others have pondered a number of other explanations, including capture by the Japanese, or that she lived out her days on Gardner Island.

One frequent theory is that Earhart's remains may have been eaten by coconut crabs, a 3-foot-long crab with claws so powerful it can crack open a coconut.

The unproven theory suggests that Earhart crashed on the island of Nikumaroro and the crabs ate her remains. A British colonial officer in 1940 who was on the island said that a skeleton with measurements that “matched the description of Amelia Earhart" was discovered by researchers but it was ultimately lost.

The theory has been around for years and was recently mentioned in stories by The Washington Post and others, highlighting the ferocity of the crabs.

It was even mentioned in 2013 by the Smithsonian magazine, citing an article from Environmental Graffiti.

A recent video from a scientist highlights a coconut crab attacking and killing a red-footed booby on Chagos Archipelago.

The crabs can grow up to 3 feet, 3 inches in length and weigh as much as 9 pounds. The force in their claws is the equivalent of crushing 6 tons and they can live up to 60 years.

Coconut crabs received their name after famed biologist Charles Darwin observed them destroying coconuts.
