Photo: Deep Sea Vision Underwater archaeologists claim they may have solved an 86-year-old mystery — the disappearance of pioneer pilot Amelia Earhart during her effort to fly around the world in 1937. Deep Sea Vision — a marine robotics company based in Charleston, S.C. — tomorrow will release the fuzzy sonar image you see above, captured west of Earhart's projected landing point, in a swath of the remote Pacific untouched by known wrecks. Why it matters: Earhart, a champion of women's rights, was a global celebrity. Her loss at sea is one of the great modern mysteries and has fostered speculation and conspiracy theories for nearly a century. Deep Sea Vision, which searched with an autonomous underwater submersible, supplied details to Axios after The Wall Street Journal reported the discovery, with the memorable sentence: "People can't quit Amelia. They also can't seem to find her." The image "reveals contours that mirror the unique dual tails and scale of her storied aircraft," DSV says in the announcement. The explorers worked on the "Date Line Theory," which posits that Earhart's well-known navigator, Fred Noonan, "miscalculated his celestial star navigation by simply forgetting to turn back the date from July 3 to July 2 [1937] as they flew across the [international] Date Line, creating a westward navigational error of 60 miles." DSV founder Tony Romeo, a pilot who graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, said: "We always felt that she [Earhart] would have made every attempt to land the aircraft gently on the water, and the aircraft signature that we see in the sonar image suggests that may be the case." The exact location wasn't released. Experts told The Journal they want to see clearer views — including the serial number. More on Amelia Earhart.
