    Amelia Earhart

    If you have an old version of Google Earth, you can get down on top of the object and really see some detail. When the newer versions of GE came out, and users downloaded/installed it onto thier computers, the install wiped the older version(s) and now the treetop eye view is no longer...

    Compare the most recent "discovery" against the real L10E in the Orona lagoon.

    Amelia Earhart

    Google Earth measures the Orona object nose (A) to tail (B) as 52 feet. Correcting for the refractive index of water 52/1.33= 39 feet; the same as the L10E aircraft. Google Earth doesn't have a good image of the Gardner island coconut log.

    Amelia Earhart

    No need to speculate about the length of the object(s). Google Earth allows one to measure this object accurately. Or go to the location noted in my post 167 and measure. Recall your high school physics concerning refraction and virtual images.

    Geez, just a piece of cheese. Who'd a thought. Enough said.

    Amelia Earhart

    Maximus Otter said "People have long searched for any sign of the Electra in a huge swath of the Pacific Ocean....." I consider this image a "sign of the Electra". Does anyone else think so?

    Amelia Earhart

    A picture that's smudged is exactly what is expected of an aircraft underwater for 80+ years and covered with sand, algae, and all sorts of marine growth. I can be positive about the major components of the airframe because the Google Earth measurements match that of the missing L10E aircraft...

    A photo I had never seen. Thanks Swifty. While I'm here..... I'll post these images. My idea still on a back burner.

    Amelia Earhart

    I lobbied the Nautilus expedition via a third party and social media to take a look at Orona. My contact says that the idea was mentioned in early planning but never was included in any expedition operations. Very low chance that it will be included. I remain hopeful. The Nautilus has been at...

    Amelia Earhart

    Bilimon's was one of many Marshallese who stated that Amelia and Fred were in the Marshall Islands in July 1937. I worked on Kajalein, M. I. In 1987 and the Islanders related the same story as their parents who had told investigators in the 1960s about Amelia and Fred being there on Jaluit...

    Amelia Earhart

    I think the slight man with the white headband, looking directly at the camera, is Bilimon Amaram. Bilimon's oral history, recorded decades ago, says he helped a doctor to fix Fred Noonan's leg.

    Amelia Earhart

    The Orona Saipan theory at http://aquariusradar.com/OronaSaipanTheory.html speculates a connection between the Orona crash image of post 141 and the attached debunked Jaluit dock photo. The dock photo supposedly debunked by a Japanese blogger who found the photo in a 1935 travelogue in the...

    Amelia Earhart

    This is the exacting location of the plane. S 4º 29' 55" (S 4.4986º) W 172º 09' 27" (W 172.1575º). Turn off street view in the GE preferences as the "eye altitude" must be below 250 ft to get the view depicted in the image. Use the history tool to select the 2006 image. Why the aircraft does not...
