The wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s plane, which disappeared in 1937, is believed to have been found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by a former United States Air Force intelligence officer.
The discovery of the plane, missing for 87 years, was done using sonar data from a deep-sea drone. The explorer, named Tony Romeo, also plans to initiate a mission to find the remains of the plane later this year.
“She’s America’s most famous missing person, right? As long as she’s missing, there’s always going to be somebody out there searching,” Romeo said. “If we can help bring closure to this story and bring Amelia home, we’d be super excited.”
