A former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer says he believes he has found the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s plane, which disappeared nine decades ago, on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean using sonar data from a deep-sea drone.
Hoping to solve an 87-year-old mystery, explorer Tony Romeo plans to launch a mission later this year or next to find the long-lost plane, which a massive U.S. search failed to do in 1937.
Romeo, chief executive of the private exploration company Deep Sea Vision, believes the wreckage of Earhart’s plane lies on the ocean floor more than 16,400 feet beneath the surface, about 100 miles from Howland Island, roughly halfway between Hawaii and Australia.
