to their captain and never saw them again. The bones mysteriously disappeared and have never been seen or found again. (supposedly) The Navy later denied having ordered the excavation.

The Kothera Group went to Saipan in 1968 and worked with a woman who claimed that she had seen Earhart and Noonan being executed and buried, and they found bones fragments that were identified as having belonged to a woman between forty and forty-five years. Earhart was 39.

I've studied history for over forty years, GallopingGhost Jul 2017 #16

I recced your thread - and I watched. "Compelling" would be the word I'd use, too! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2017 #12

I missed the documentary but will try to find it and watch. Mrs. Overall Jul 2017 #17

Nobody in that thread "raked you over the coals". Kaleva Jul 2017 #20

I felt figuratively made fun of (over and over) for having posted the Amelia photo story. Mrs. Overall Jul 2017 #21

You may have felt that way but there is no evidence supporting your view. Kaleva Jul 2017 #23

Sorry. Was up until after 3:00 A.M. today watching, elleng Jul 2017 #27

Oh, people were having fun, because it's the History Channel jberryhill Jul 2017 #35

Have they been able to do DNA testing on the bones? LeftInTX Jul 2017 #18

I can't remember now the GallopingGhost Jul 2017 #22

No, no 'Amelia' bones available now. elleng Jul 2017 #28

I tend to fall on the side of "they crash landed on a deserted island and died not long after" Warren DeMontague Jul 2017 #8

I thought they made a compelling case, as well. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2017 #13

I think you should watch the show when it re-airs. I did find the photo to be compelling. StevieM Jul 2017 #14

We ditched cable a while back, so no history channel for me.. Warren DeMontague Jul 2017 #24

Here's some additional info (entry #6) Orrex Jul 2017 #15

Most likely they crashed in the ocean died immediately. Kaleva Jul 2017 #19

The History Channel made a very compelling case. It was more than just speculation. StevieM Jul 2017 #25

Were the aliens involved? GhostofJFK Jul 2017 #26

Yea, right. ms liberty Jul 2017 #31

Turns out they had no idea of the photo date; now we know it was at least 2 years before muriel_volestrangler Jul 2017 #34

Incredible? From the people who bring us Ancient Aliens? jberryhill Jul 2017 #37

Maybe it's incredible that people hadn't pointed it out earlier muriel_volestrangler Jul 2017 #39

History Channel has shows that make compelling cases about Aliens Kaleva Jul 2017 #38

I will say this. ananda Jul 2017 #29

Watched it. cilla4progress Jul 2017 #30

I am also persuaded. I think they presented a very convincing case. (eom) StevieM Jul 2017 #33

That is the magic of television for you.... jberryhill Jul 2017 #36

It was interesting to me. I am a very skeptical person but the photo was interesting. n/t USALiberal Jul 2017 #32
