Amelia Earhart Plane Possibly Spotted By Satellite ‘ “There does appear to be an object on the edge of the reef, off
the western end of the island. It’s in a particularly suspicious
location…” There is a rust-colored
tint in satellite imagery pixels at nearly the spot where
fishermen visiting that area long ago reported seeing a
wrecked airplane.
