Deep Sea Vision, an underwater scanning company, believes it may have found the remains of Amelia Earhart's lost Lockheed 10-E Electra aircraft in the Pacific Ocean using sonar imaging. The potential discovery was made in September during a search of over 5,200 square miles where Earhart is believed to have crashed in 1937. The sonar image appears to show the shape of an airplane resting on the seafloor some 16,000 feet below the surface. Earhart disappeared without a trace after taking off from Howland Island on her attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
