Today, July 24, is the birthday of American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, who broke the female flight record and helped form the ninety-nine female pilot group.
Earhart was born in Kansas in 1897 and worked as a nurse’s assistant in World War I. According to a report from History.com, after she watched the pilots, she continued to take flight courses in 1921 and obtained her license that year.
Then she began to break records.
Earhart became the first woman to fly solo more than 14,000 feet; the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean; the first woman to travel solo, uninterrupted, across the United States and other places.
On June 1, 1937, Earhart began his mission of becoming the first person ever to fly around the world. She and the navigator Fred Noonan set off from Oakland, California.
By June 29, the two arrived in Lae, New Guinea. Their next stop was originally Howland Island in the Pacific, but after taking off from Lae on July 2nd, the two disappeared.
A large-scale search was conducted on the couple, but they were never found. According to the British Press, Earhart was pronounced dead on January 5, 1939.
theory
Since Earhart’s disappearance, many theories have been proposed to explain what might happen.Almost inevitably, conspiracy theories emerged, including Earhart being captured by the Japanese and either died or was given a new identity and returned to the United States
Some seem strange.
In 2015, the New Dimensions blog promoted Hollow Earth Magazine, Suppose Earhart was saved by the Agarsons living in the earth’s inner civilization.
The blog stated that the Agarson used teleportation technology to help the pilot before she crashed into the sea, which is why her plane was never discovered-although it is unclear whether it was actually held belief.
Weekly newspaper The blog has been contacted for comments.
For Richard Gillespie, executive director of the International Organization for the Recovery of Historic Aircraft (TIGHAR), such theories are untenable.
He says Weekly newspaper“I began to believe that the public and the media are so fascinated by Earhart, the Internet is so eager for content, and anyone with a theory, no matter how crazy, can take it out.”

The mainstream view of the group is that Earhart and Noonan finally reached an uninhabited piece of land, formerly known as Gardner Island, now known as Nicumaroro, part of Kiribati’s Phoenix Islands, and has gone to the South Pacific. Launched 12 expeditions. A mission was recently launched in 2017.
Gillespie told Weekly newspaper The official explanation from the US government is that Earhart and Noonan ran out of fuel, crashed and sank. He added: “This is an intuitive answer to the riddle, but there is no evidence to support it.
“Earlhart never said she would sink; a large-scale search by the Navy and Coast Guard in 1937 found no floating debris or oil slicks; the six seabeds around Howland in the past 22 years were worth millions of dollars. ‘S high-tech search found nothing.”
According to Gillespie, the Nikumaroro Island landing theory is “more likely” based on data and artifacts collected by the organization.
“She sent a radio call for help, which was widely received and believed to be real at the time, and lasted at least five nights,” he said, but added that when the search plane arrived, the plane had been washed into the sea by tides and waves.
He also pointed out the bones found on the island, which were recorded but later lost. In 2018, Richard Jantz, emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, studied the remains data and found that they were signs of Earhart.
In any case, although there may still be different theories about Earhart’s disappearance, Her legacy As a female aviation pioneer, she is unwavering today.
