Sonar image thought to show Amelia Earhart's plane identified as natural rock formation
Recent sonar imagery that appeared to show Amelia Earhart's missing plane has been identified as a natural rock formation. The discovery was made by Deep Sea Vision during a search near Howland Island, where Earhart was last expected to land. The sonar image, captured in January, sparked renewed interest in the mystery. However, after further investigation in November, the team confirmed the object was not man-made. They have since explored over 7,700 square miles of ocean in their search. Other exploration teams, like Nauticos, continue to search for Earhart's plane. They believe there are still areas worth investigating based on previous data. The search for the aircraft remains one of aviation's greatest mysteries.
