Amelia Earhart May Have Survived Crash-Landing, Newly Discovered Photo Suggests.

[elleng]

'A newly discovered photograph suggests legendary aviator Amelia Earhart, who vanished 80 years ago on a round-the-world flight, survived a crash-landing in the Marshall Islands.

The photo, found in a long-forgotten file in the National Archives, shows a woman who resembles Earhart and a man who appears to be her navigator, Fred Noonan, on a dock. The discovery is featured in a new History channel special, "Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence," that airs Sunday.

Independent analysts told History the photo appears legitimate and undoctored. Shawn Henry, former executive assistant director for the FBI and an NBC News analyst, has studied the photo and feels confident it shows the famed pilot and her navigator.'>>>

1. Fascinating

[Laffy Kat]

2. This is one of those things I HAVE TO KNOW before I die.

The other thing is proof on life on other planets.

3. Has anyone spotted the barge with

the 38 ft object in the picture?

[Guilded Lilly]

4. I couldn't find that either!!

5. This rumor has been out there for decades.

The new photo is genuinely unsettling, however---particularly the image of the man who may have been her co-pilot.

6. Fred Noonan was her navigator. And the identification of him is much more solid than that

of Amelia Earhart.

The barge hauling a 38 ft. object--the size of Earhart's plane--is also pretty impressive.

7. Two social media blogs maintain that the photo appears in a book published in 1935.

On edit, here is a link to a digitally archived copy of the book presenting its page showing the photograph in question.
