Pilot and former US Air Force intelligence officer Tony Romeo believes a sonar picture from a high-tech unmanned submarine may solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance in 1937. Romeo, who funded the $11 million search, used a Norwegian drone called “Hugin” during a 100-day expedition covering 5,200 square miles of the Pacific Ocean floor. A radar picture of a flat object about 100 miles from Howland Island, where Earhart was last seen, was discovered on the 90th day. Experts, like Dorothy Cochrane from the National Air and Space Museum, find the location promising, but some demand better views and more information. Romeo plans to return for closer inspection with autonomous submersibles. He acknowledges uncertainty but believes the unique shapes of fuselage, tail, and wings suggest a significant find. Romeo aims to collaborate on other ocean mysteries if his discovery is confirmed, expressing interest in projects like WWII aircraft and MH370.
