Marine Explorer Hunts for Earhart's Plane
She was so cool! 8)

I hope they can solve the--well, I hate to use the word mystery, but I guess it'll have to do. There was a school of thought that she had been taken prisoner by the Japanese after landing on a Japanese-held Island, but I think this has died away.

And of course (to keep it in BA) there are the woos who think she was abducted by Aliens....

I do not think that that theory has died away at all. It would not have been uncharacteristic for her to have been executed as a spy at that time. The fact that no remnants of her plane have been found tends to fuel speculation. There is very little real data to go by.

There was a very bad episode of the very bad tv show Voyager that dealt with this theory. They found Earhart along with a bunch of other people from the 1930s in some sort of suspended animation on the other side of the galaxy. It was awful, they found an old pick-up truck in space and were able to start it after a few minutes of tinkering with it. :roll:
