Amelia Earhart is a famous pilot and is known for being the first woman to fly alone over the Atlantic Ocean. She was the pioneer of female aviation and has made a mark in American history. However, during one of her over the Pacific Ocean in 1937, she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, mysteriously disappeared. To this day, no one knows the true whereabouts of Earhart.

Many researchers, historians and conspiracists have made theories about the cause of Earhart’s disappearance.
One of the most famous theories was that Earhart had landed her plane on Nikumaroro Island, an island in the South Pacific Ocean. This came to light after a skull and bones were discovered that matched Earhart’s gender and height. Supporters of this theory suggest that Earhart and Noonan had landed on the island and lived there until they eventually died from possible starvation or dehydration.

Another popular theory suggests that Earhart’s plane had crashed into the Pacific Ocean. However, no evidence or remains of the plane have been found after multiple searches.

A more outlandish theory suggests that UFOs were the culprit of her disappearance. Conspiracists theorize that Earhart and Noonan had been captured by aliens or their ship had been shot down by a UFO. However, this theory also lacks concrete evidence.

One final theory claims that Earhart was captured by Japanese soldiers. This theory arose after a photo was discovered that depicted Noonan and Earhart after their disappearance, but this was later debunked. Additionally, theorists claimed that she had survived her capture and returned to the U.S. with a new name, but again, there was no clear evidence to prove this true.

About 86 years after her disappearance, Earhart’s whereabouts still remain a mystery that has not been solved. Hopefully, with better technology and sonar advancements, remains of her plane can be found in the future, but this is highly unlikely. The Earhart mystery will likely remain unsolved in the years to come.
