for no particular purpose, other than that it's intrigued me since I was a kid.

Earhart, D.B. Cooper, Titanic...There's something in our nature that drives curiosity about what really happened.

Earhart was a brave lady and definitely shattered the expectational ceiling for females of the time!

I don't find the photo unrealistic, and if you couple that with the other evidence, it all points to her having been a prisoner of the Japanese.

Yes, I got fucking raked over the coals for posting this story that possibly a photo had been found. Mrs. Overall Jul 2017 #4

Don't let them get you down! Lucinda Jul 2017 #6

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

I thought it was pretty good. Lifelong Protester Jul 2017 #3

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
