Amelia Earhart Plane Fragment Identified
  Ric Gillespie, executive director of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, holds a scrap of airplane wreckage that he contends is consistent with a window patch on the Lockheed Electra that Amelia Earhart was flying when she disappeared in 1937.Joseph Kaczmarek/The Associated Press Quote:

See the footprint on that piece of aluminium?
One time Chuck Norris did a roundhouse kick and his foot broke the speed of sound and went back it time, that's what took out Amelia Earhart's plane. |

They've been trying to find that plane and make a bundle of money on it for decades.

Did Sir Francis Drake write a message on it?

...has been identified to a high degree of certainty...
Sounds like parsing or legalese to me. I hope they dig down about 20 feet under the spot where they found it and find MH370. That would make for an excellent new agey TV show.

I heard there are dozens of Amelia Earhart's planes buried in the burmese jungle and they are preserved like brand new!

When I was on Saipan, some of the natives claimed that she and her navigator crashed there and were captured by the Japanese. I searched the jungles all over the island but only found this.

Several years ago some guys from TIGHAR came to our Civil Air Patrol squadron meeting and told us about their exploits. They said a skeleton of a Caucasian female was found somewhere near where they thought this wreck was some time after WWII. The local authorities couldn't identify so they cremated the remains a while ago. They don't seem to be talking about this now that they're trying to raise more funds to play Bob Ballard lol.
