    Lisa Shaw expressed that there are a few differing speculations about the nature of Amelia's disappearance. Most notably was the crash and sink theory, stating that she ran out of fuel and crashed into the Atlantic and the plane sank too far to be seen and rescued or recovered. The other theory known as the Earhart-in-the-Marianas theory states that she crashed into Saipan, an island in the western Pacific Ocean. Eyewitnesses tend to back this theory, but with little evidence, it is still just a theory. Shaw spend nearly a half a page describing the fabricated lie that the history channel aired. The history channel released fake evidence claiming a photograph from years before proved their disappearance, that Amelia did in fact land on Saipan island and become prisoners until death. This photo was debunked but the theory lived on. The eyewitness statements seemed to be historically accurate. Adding to the strangeness of her…

    Flight 19 Research Paper

    Many ships and planes were lost in triangle leaving behind unknown explanation but flight 19 is the most famous incident. It was already 4 month that world war II had over. Still it was the mission for the thirteen men to fly due east which was 56 miles to hens and chicken shoals to conduct practice-bombing runs. After that objective had been completed, the flight plan called for them to fly an additional sixty-seven miles east, and then turn north for seventy-three miles and finally straight back to base. This course would take them on a triangular path over the sea. About an hour and a half Lt. Taylor reported that his compass is broken and its not working. Planes today have a number of ways that they can check their current position, including listening to a set of GPS (Global Positioning Satellites) in orbit around the Earth. He was a good pilot, but he hadn't spent a lot of time flying east toward the Bahamas, which was where he was going on that day. Apparently Taylor had become confused at some point in the flight. For some reason Taylor thought the flight had started out in the wrong direction and had headed south toward the Keys, instead of east. By 4:45 P.M. Inside the control room it was obvious to the people that Taylor was hopelessly lost. He was told to turn control of the flight over to one of his students, but apparently he didn't. After a time, connection was disappeared from the people in the…

    The official report by the U.S. government reads that Earhart and Noonan ran out of fuel, crashed into the water, and sank (“What Happened to Amelia Earhart?”). One of the most common hypotheses made about Earhart and Noonan’s death is that they landed on Nikumaroro (“What Happened to Amelia Earhart?”). For a while this island was left uninvestigated because at the time it was “uninhabited” (“What Happened to Amelia Earhart?”). Evidence later found by the TIGHAR, or International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, contradicts this idea with The Earhart Project (“What Happened to Amelia Earhart?”). TIGHAR found improvised tools, remnants of shoes, traces of a campfire, and aircraft wreckage that looked much like Earhart’s plane (“What Happened to Amelia Earhart?”).…

These conspiracy theories would be still as strong as long UFOs are unelucidated . That means, once the unexplainable matters become explainable, theories become unstable and more likely to tumble.
