Amelia Earhart Mystery May Have New Clue In Never-Before-Seen Photo | TODAY
Пікірлер: 778
According to Wikipedia: "Japanese blogger Kota Yamano found the original source of the photograph in the Archives in the National Diet Library Digital Collection. The original source of the photo was a Japanese travel guide published in October 1935, implying that the photograph was taken in 1935 or before, and thus would be unrelated to Earhart and Noonan's 1937 disappearance"

YES!! The photo was a co incidental likeness of the two fliers, taken 2 years before Earhart's flight. Gardner Island has too much evidence to not be the sight where she landed. A heel from a shoe, a shoe of the type and brand she wore, the cosmetic jar, the pen knife, Noonan's sextant box, a piece of aluminum that was like what was on the plane and the SOS heard in Florida from Earhart that mentioned the "Norchester City", a ship that was wrecked at Gardner Island. Her radio signal gave off harmonic radio waves that bounced off the ionosphere, and down to Florida. The girl who heard Amelia said she knew it was her voice, and that of a man who went crazy and was trying to take the microphone away from Earhart, the girl wrote down everything Earhart said. Navy pilots said they saw signs of habitation on Gardner island, without realizing there had been no inhabitants there for many years. Most researchers believe Gardner island was where she ended up.

The photo is from ONE book in the Japanese Government archives. There are not hundreds of these books or thousands, there is just one of these books. It is not bound together like a normal book with the publishing date, it is a book with medal prongs that can easily be taken apart with a page added to it with the photo. How do they say it is from 1935? There is an ink stamp in the back of the book, like a librarians stamp that says 1935. Easy to fake this. The Marshall Island government said the dock they are standing on wasn't built until 1936 so the photo can't be from 1935. Many eye witnesses place them on Jaluit Island and then on Saipan. No eye witnesses place her and Noonan on Gardner Island.
im 54 and i remember this coming out in the 70s. japan denied everything. they had a show on tv about this with interviews with natives talking about the execution of blonde pilot and 2 men. now there are pictures.

Japan will NEVER admit anything they did anything wrong in World War II. It's not their policy, it's not what they teach in their history books. Individual Japanese historians, soldiers, and a few politicians have been honest about the Imperial Government and military activities before and during World War II but the general Japanese government line is that they were victims in World War II. It infuriates everybody else in the region when the documentation so obviously shows otherwise. If that weren't enough, you have thousands of survivors -- POWs, civilians, comfort women, etc. -- who are still alive to testify to the fact. I have no doubt the Japanese Navy could have captured Earhart and Noonan. There are things about this story that are screwball from the American end: who funded the trip, the government support along the way, the airstrip on Howland Island that was basically unuseable, and scenarios suggesting that the final radio communiques were either a comedy of errors (failure to share radio wavelengths for direct communications in the final stretch) OR scripted to throw off anybody who wasn't in the know about a secret mission. I think the analogy to Gary Powers is closer to the truth than the official US government line. If something (this photo) FINALLY leaked out that demonstrates the storyline that she ended up in Saipan (in captivity) is the actual history, great. If not, well then it doesn't depend on just photo. There are too many people who saw events independently of each other that have corroborating stories. In addition, we have leaked documents from the FDR administration and later reports that clearly support the Saipan scenario more than this crash-and-sink business or the TIGHAR castaway movie script. It's been 80 years... It's about darn time the reality of the case gets disclosed.

Amelia’s plane lost fuel crashed into the water. They drowned and were eaten by fish. The plane is now being used as a home for a school of fish. Also that photo was taken 2 years before their disappearance.

gavin Reid -- wrong. Even the Japanese source said the photo was taken in 1935. HARDLY 10 years too early. Earhart went missing in the 1937. Two, three years difference? It still raises the question. WHY was what appears to be an earlier generation copy (if not the original copy of the photo) in the US ONI files? The question now is is the Japanese blogger source reliable. HE has to be checked out, too. If you're going to call the conclusions of the program into question, make sure the guy raising the flag is also honest, too. It's not as if Japan doesn't have reasons to hide the facts of its pre-World War II activities, too, right? If you understood what Japan did in the Marshalls prior the outbreak of war with the US, then you'd understand why they have to be questioned. They HID a lot during that period... They also DIDN'T allow the US Navy to search the Marshalls for any possible traces of Earhart because they were establishing a military presence in the area. They were building bases and fortifications illegally in the area.

That picture has to be double-checked. There's leaping to conclusions it from both angles. Rush to say it's Earhart, rush to say it's illegitimate or mistaken context ( => likely mistaken context). I'd like to see someone else confirm the Japanese source for the dispute. It's not as if Japan wouldn't want to refute the story that its 1930s military kidnapped and was ultimately responsible for the death of an American icon, right? Seriously, it has to be double-checked. Oh, and FYI -- the Japanese didn't let the US military search the Marshall Islands in 1937... Probably because they were building bases and establishing a military presence in the area. On top of which they US Navy didn't want the IJN to know the Japanese security codes had already been broken. The release of the blogger based in Japan is a bit too convenient, too. There was a reason that photo was in the National Archives... Maybe they were mistaken in the late 1930s (about the context) but I find it interesting they appear to have a more primary resource. The picture in the Japanese blog is at least a second or third generation copy of the photo. Notice it's "dotty" and blurrier than the B & W glossy copy the investigators got a ahold of. WHY is the primary photo (or closer to it) in the US National Archves?!? It's amazing people are missing that point (on top of the fact the Japanese source has to be double-checked, too)!
The problem is the photo is not from 1937, it's from 1935
I watched a documentary on Disney the other day on this, it seems the most accepted theory is that she crashed on an extremely remote island and perished there. They think her plane crashed in shallow water then the tide carried it further out whir destroying the aircraft either further. I honestly don’t think Japan had anything to do with it. And this photo honestly is rather irrelevant when you all is considered

No she ran out of gas and crashed near Howland island, where she was supposed to land. No gas to go any further, and Noonan isn't planning on flying anywhere else. Why fly hundred's of miles away when there is a coast guard cutter that can search for you as long as you stay as close to the intended island as you can.

There are also two 67 degrees ( compass and true heading) and both are located north of Howland Island, 67 degrees true heading (sunrise) is 11 degrees north of Howland and 67 degree compass heading (76.54 degree true heading) is approximately 1.5 degrees north of Howland. So which 67 degrees is the 157-337 LOP based on?

Very insightful.
unfortunately this photograph has already been shown to have been taken around ten years too early for it to be Earhart. It existed in a japanese archive.
Just a question..... would a pair of “prisoners” especially ones deemed to be spys be allowed to casually sit on the edge of a dock pier? Un guarded and with no visible restraints? They would surely be chained/ cuffed and be under strict armed guard observation? Looks to much like a tourists holiday photo to me? Interesting though! Best wishes all
As soon as I heard "former FBI agent" I knew this claim is a lie.
Amazing 🙌
There is a video where a young girl who would sit in front of her radio with pad and pen (ready to write down songs she liked) that heard Amelia making a plea for help. That Noonan was hurt badly. She wrote down word for word what she heard coming from her radio. Noonan was out of his mind trying to grab the radio from her. An expert stated that it was possible with technical reasons why. So how could she be making a may day call hurt and then be sitting on a dock healthy?

You raise a good question. I think these investigators make a "good guess" or reasonable hypothesis as to the identity of the individuals in the photograph. If it's not Earhart & Noonan, who else could it be?

No surprise, History Channel got it WRONG. This is a 1935 photo from a Japanese travel book.
Great investigation.

In the mean time, IT is clear, that this same picture was made 1935. Earhart disappeared in 1937. On that picture cannot be Earhart! She did her trip years later.

PS. AND THAT IS NO disrespect to THE LATE MS. Earhart!! may she "soon" RIP. 💚💚
thephotograph was taken at Jaluit Atoll in 1935 and published as part of the 111-page travelogue in 1936, how can ths photo of 1935 be evidence when Amelia's flight around the world did not start till 1937
Makes more sense. Very intriguing
That’s a photo that predates the loss of Earhart by a few years. This is nonsense.
I'm not convinced. There's just one very big question. If the Japanese thought that Amelia and Fred where spy's, where are the guards, why are they allowed to run around on the dock without those guards and why aren't they in hand cuffs or in restraints. I'm not going for the photo or this version of the story. Sorry, just me.
TIGHAR currently has the best leads on the Earhardt mystery. It looks like she ditched on an atoll off Nikumauroro Island and died there as a castaway.

Stalicone: Yes....and radio transmissions from her were picked up for days after she disappeared. She wasn't sure where they were but she said they were on a reef near the wreck of a ship called Norwich City (which was wrecked at Nikumauroro Island, previously known as Gardner island). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Norwich_City

It's a photo album held together with string. Jabor dock was built in 1936. There is no copyright saying 1935. The only thing that says 1935 is a librarian's stamp.
Best change those history books!

Not so fast. Chances are it isn't her.

What chances? How many white "woman flyers" wearing pants were in that area around that time? Probably one.

That’s what I was going to say. This photo was kicked out of the running for anything important when it was revealed it was out of a book from several years before she even started her flight-- so why WHY do we keep hearing about this???

@@zettemueller3560 good question! After watching this video I found another. Some Peace's of her kind of plane was found near an island.. Tighar is name on the video and what he found.
PHOTO WAS LATER PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN 1935, TWO YEARS PRIOR TO HER DISAPPEARANCE.
I was watching a documentary the other day that said the photo is a hoax.
I still believe she was captured by the Japanese but this photo was taken 2 years before she disappeared
Interesting. Apparently, this picture was published in 1935. The evidence she died on Gardner Island is compelling given the artifacts, etc.
This great story just got more interesting
History Channel Knew the photo was BS !
They said later this picture was from a vacation book. So where is this book?
LOL caption says "Les spent 150 years looking". Really? LMAO.
Awesome amazing beautiful people amazing beautiful places ❤
some one showed that picture several tears ago --old news
The never before photo that was seen by everyone and taken in 1935?
