00:00The Amelia Earhart files just dropped with over 4,600 pages of newly declassified government

00:05documents. But before we dive deep into what they say, let's rewind to the facts we know.

00:10In 1928, Earhart became an overnight sensation as the first woman to cross the Atlantic as a

00:16passenger. By 1932, she flew solo across the Atlantic, earning global recognition. Over the

00:21next few years, she shattered records, including solo flights from Hawaii to California and across

00:27North America. By 1936, Purdue University backed her dream of a round-the-world flight with a new

00:32Lockheed Electra. On June 1st, 1937, she set out with navigator Fred Noonan, covering nearly 22,000

00:38miles. However, on July 2nd, en route to the tiny island of Howland, radio contact revealed they were

00:44lost and low on fuel. They vanished over the Pacific. President Roosevelt launched the largest search of

00:50its time, costing millions of dollars, and still no wreckage was found. So now, the newly released

00:55files do provide more details, but critical truth seekers claim they just add more mud to the

01:00already murky waters. Radiologues show Earhart stayed in steady communication with the Coast Guard

01:05until her final calm words, only showing emotion at the very end. Reports of flares near Howland Island

01:11were later confirmed to be meteors, and various maps of previous searches, as well as letters from

01:17those who believe they know her fate, have been revealed. So what's the takeaway? Well, despite decades

01:22of searches, millions spent, and thousands of pages of records, the mystery still remains

01:27unsolved. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, called the release a first step,

01:32with more records to come on a rolling basis.

01:34So what's your theory? If you've got the patience, you should dive into the declassified

01:38files yourself, and of course, follow us here for more updates.
