In all likelihood, Earhart and Noonan were unable to escape the reef-bound island and ultimately perished there. Unfortunately, while Earhart’s distress calls were heard by many people, rescuers at the time were unable to accurately identify the exact location of Earhart’s downed plane. After 18 months of searching, Earhart and Noonan were declared dead in January 1939. Navy and Coast Guard combed miles of ocean. The TIGHAR paper notes that identified transmissions occurred on Earhart’s harmonically-related, primary frequencies that were more prone to ionospheric propagation, thereby enabling them to be transmitted and received over much longer distances. Amelia Earhart Declared Dead When Earhart never arrived in Howland Island at her expected time and didn’t answer radio contact, a massive search and rescue mission was assembled for her. Earlier she had spoken the fatal words, We are on you but cannot see you. She departs from Newfoundland and lands in a pasture in Northern Ireland. She said, We are on the line 157-337 flying north and south. Amelia Earhart becomes the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. ![]() Their hypothesis is based on an extensive analysis of dozens of transmissions from Earhart reportedly picked up by radio amateurs and others following her initial disappearance. What were Amelias last words Amelia Earharts last confirmed words were spoken at 8:43 a.m. More than 80 years after Amelia Earhart’s disappearance somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, a recent analysis of transmissions received by radio amateurs may well have solved the mystery.Īccording to research recently published by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), the leading hypothesis is that Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan crash landed on tiny, uninhabited Gardner Island (now known as Nikumaroro in the Republic of Kiribati in the Pacific. ![]()
