00:00Well, this is fascinating. After 88 years of speculation, could the mystery of Amelia Earhart
00:08finally be solved? A team from Purdue University says there is very strong evidence they have
00:15located Earhart's long-lost plane, pointing to this satellite image of a visual anomaly
00:20in a lagoon on a remote South Pacific island. The object, dubbed the Tariya object, has appeared
00:27in photos as far back as 1938, just a year after Earhart and her navigator vanished. Researchers
00:34plan to head to Nicomaroro Island next month to scan, lift, and possibly identify what they believe
00:41could be the famed Lockheed Electra. Earhart had planned to return that very plane to Purdue,
00:46where she worked before her final flight. If this really is the lost Electra, her final mission
00:53may still land where she hoped, in a truly roundabout way.
