In this episode of Crimetime Inc., we delve deep into the enduring mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance. Amelia Earhart, the pioneering aviator, vanished over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 while attempting a groundbreaking round-the-world flight with her navigator Fred Noonan. We explore the rich trove of information surrounding her final flight, the planned navigation methods, and the ensuing frantic search efforts that have left us with more questions than answers. Our discussion covers Earhart's last known flight on July 2, 1937, from Ley Airfield in New Guinea to Howland Island, and the technological challenges they faced with navigation and communication. We analyze the official U.S. government theory that the duo ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean, as well as the Gardner Island Hypothesis, suggesting they may have landed on Nikumaroro Island. Additionally, we scrutinize the controversial Commander Thompson theory that hints at mishandled search efforts, and even touch on conspiracy theories that Earhart was on a secret U.S. mission and captured by the Japanese, or staged her own disappearance to escape fame. Despite a massive search operation and numerous expeditions over the years, no conclusive evidence has been found. Join us as we piece together various facts, theories, and details in an attempt to shed light on this decades-old enigma and reflect on Earhart's enduring legacy as a beacon of courage and inspiration in aviation.00:00 Introduction to Amelia Earhart's Mystery00:46 The Final Flight: July 2nd, 193701:15 Technological Challenges and Communication Issues03:11 The Disappearance and Initial Search Efforts05:02 Theories and Speculations06:44 Controversies and Conspiracies09:17 The Enduring Fascination and Legacy12:42 Conclusion and Reflections Hosted on Acast.

Tonight, we'll read the opening to “Daughter of the Sky: The Story of Amelia Earhart” written by Paul L. Briand and published in 1960. As the New York Times wrote in their review of the book when it was published “While so many were struggling to keep themselves or their business intact, this fine, calm young woman from 1928 to 1937, experienced a whole series of spectacular successes.” Earhart was an American pioneer of aviation. In 1937 she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world. During her life, she embraced celebrity culture and women's rights, and since her disappearance has become a cultural icon. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and she set many other records. Recently, in 2024, a company that operates unmanned underwater vehicles found via sonar what appears to be the remains of an airplane on the ocean floor near Howland Island. The object, shaped like her particular plane, was located along the path she had been expected to fly in the Pacific Ocean. More exploration, however, is necessary to confirm whether this is indeed Earhart's missing aircraft. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Amelia Earhart and her co-pilot and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared in the Pacific Ocean on the next to last leg of her round-the-world flight on July 2nd, 1937, and the U.S. Navy, after an exhaustive search of the Pacific which did not include the Marshall islands, released a statement saying that Earhart and Noonan's Electra ran out of gas and crashed into the ocean somewhere near Howland Island, where the Coast Guard ship Itasca reported hearing her say they were running low on gas and could not see the island. Beginning on that day, July 2nd, dozens of radio transmissions from Earhart were heard over the next 6 days by radio receiver stations, military and civilian, hearing Earhart giving her call numbers and asking for rescue- yet no rescue was attempted and the reports were ignored. In this episode we talk to Chris Williamson, Project Director of Chasing Earhart, regarding theories and information provided by the many Earhart experts who have provided research on this subject and others concerning Earhart's disappearance including Dave Horner, author of The Earhart Enigma, who we quote here in part. Also mentioned are Mike Campbell's two interviews "Earhart-The Truth At Last" at 1001 Heroes and 1001 Best Storytellers podcasts.

In Season 12, Episode 2 of Beach Weekly, Lei Madrigal covers flooding on campus, new student housing and more. Cupid at the Beach is on Tuesday, Feb. 6, at which students can craft Valentine's Day cards and spend time with their partner. The event will take place inside the University Student Union Beach Ballroom on the second floor from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All craft supplies and treats are free for students while supplies last. The Career Development Center is hosting an online Alumni Job Search meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 6 via Zoom from noon to 1 p.m. Participants must register online. A Black History Month Cookout will be held at the USU Southwest Terrace on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at noon. The 25th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration will be held on Thursday, Feb. 8 at 11 a.m. in the USU Ballrooms with more events to come. Last Thursday, Feb. 1, flooding caused by heavy rainfall forced closures to several roads on campus and employee parking lots E3 and E4. The storm also damaged multiple EV chargers on campus and flooded the Walter Pyramid, forcing the women's basketball game to be relocated to the Gold Mine. Major storms are expected to continue into this week. The University Police Department has planted decoy bikes around campus in an attempt to catch bike thieves. Each decoy bike has a location tracking feature that allows the police department to determine where stolen bikes are going. Bike theft is one of the most frequent crimes on campus and the decoy bikes are a renewed effort to reduce and prevent theft. The 2024 Campus Safety Plan provided by the University Police Department listed many upcoming improvements to campus safety such as upgraded fire alarm systems in the Parkside and Beachside dorms, upgraded lighting along Parkside housing pathways and renovations to the Parkside Service Center. This summer, construction will begin on a new student housing project called La Playa Hall to increase affordable student housing on campus. The new facility will add at least 424 beds and cost an estimated $115 million, according to the project's website. La Playa Hall will include a built-in mental health facility run by the Counseling and Psychological Services program on campus. Beach Building Services said the extension of the CAPS program has also been implemented in other housing locations. With construction starting in Summer 2024, the current expected completion date is set for Summer 2026. An ocean exploration company called Deep Sea Vision announced that it captured sonar images of what is thought to be the remnants of Amelia Earhart's lost plane at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The 16-person crew made the discovery with an underwater drone near Hawaii, about 100 miles from Howland Island. Deep Sea Vision plans to investigate the area more thoroughly later this year. As of Feb. 2, the Israeli military says that it has defeated Hamas in the major city of Khan Younis and will now focus its military operations in Rafah near Gaza's southern border. Since the conflict began last year, over 2.2 million Gaza citizens have fled to areas throughout Southern Gaza like Khan Younis and Rafah to escape the Israeli invasion.

Some of our earlier appearances on Chris's "Vanished" podcast are transcribed for the book, including the story of the "Message in the Bottle", a very convincing story that supports the crash and capture theory.

On the morning of July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, took off from Lae, New Guinea, on one of the last legs in their historic attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Their next destination was Howland Island, roughly 2,500 miles away. U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Itasca awaited their arrival, but they never made it to Howland Island. Despite massive search efforts by the U.S. government and private agencies, her disappearance remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century.SOURCEShttps://catalog.archives.gov/id/305240https://time.com/5486999/amelia-earhart-disappearance-theories/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/amelia-earhart-search-resume-2014_n_4107310https://www.huffpost.com/entry/exploring-amelia-earharts-disappearance_b_4581713https://www.britannica.com/biography/Amelia-Earhart

Adventurer, trailblazer and record-breaking pilot, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, but disappeared in her attempt to cross the globe in 1937. Join Billy and Anna's romp through the conspiracy theories that have popped up about her disappearance (some less convincing), and think about her impact on the world of aviation. Also she had excellent freckles. But: has it gone too far? Has her legacy overshadowed other fantastic women in history?
Amelia Earhart is one of the most famous pilots in the world. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ocean. But on July 2, 1937 she took off from Papua New Guinea for Howland Island with her navigator Fred Noonan, but they vanished. Did they crash into the ocean? Land on a different island? Were they kidnapped? Was Amelia a spy?

"If they never find her, having her life end with a mystery is still fascinating; in fact, it might be the most fascinating ending that you can have in this case." On June 29th, 1937 a tired Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan touched down in Lae New Guinea having reached the 3-quarter mark of their record attempt at circumnavigating the globe. Long days of flight had brought AE and Noonan to the likes of Brazil, Dakar, Bangkok, and Darwin Australia just to name a few. Though she was anxious to complete her long journey and fly into the record books, the next day, June 30th, 1937 AE sent a telegram to her husband, George Palmer Putnam that read “RADIO MISUNDERSTANDING AND PERSONNEL UNFITNESS. PROBABLY WILL HOLD ONE DAY”. What these personnel problems meant has been debated for many years. Were they related to Fred Noonan? Whatever the issues might have been, AE didn’t let them derail her plans – she and Noonan took off from Lae on July the 2nd 1937 at 10 AM local time. It was the last that anyone would ever see them. While Earhart's plane was in the air, the Coast Guard cutter Itasca was waiting to guide her into Howland island. However, due to AE’s friend Gene Vidal no longer being at the Bureau of Air Commerce to direct subordinates to smooth her way — some of the ship's communications were on bandwidths that she didn't have the ability to receive. There were other difficulties: a radio direction finder on Howland that would work with Earhart's higher-bandwidth equipment required batteries, which were drained by the time she was in the area. Fourteen hours and 15 minutes into her flight, the Itasca received a first, somewhat garbled transmission from Earhart about "cloudy weather." Though the messages themselves would grow clearer, their content remained worrying, as when Earhart radioed, "We must be on you but cannot see you." She apparently only received one message from the ship, though the Itasca had been transmitting for hours. While continuing to broadcast — the radio strength of her communications indicated she was close — Earhart remained unable to see Howland Island. The weather around Howland was clear, but there are reports of clouds about 30 miles northwest. And if Earhart had flown into clouds and bad weather along the way, it could have prevented Noonan from taking the sightings he needed to navigate precisely (the charts he was using were also not entirely accurate). Earhart's last transmission, made 20 hours and 14 minutes into her flight, indicated they were going to continue "running north and south." The plane never made it to Howland. Tonight, we dive into the events that occurred while AE and Noonan were at Lae, some controversial and some head scratching. We’ll also climb aboard the Electra with AE and Noonan and try to unravel the beginnings of one of the greatest mysteries of all time. What actually happened to Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan? Tonight, the trial continues as we bring someone to the stand that you’ll never see coming. Time to go to work.

What possibilities emerge when we begin to question the tacitly accepted — and easily overlooked — limits that govern who we can be and what we can do? Composer Samuel Adams, rock climber/BASE jumper Steph Davis, and arts leader Ed Yim all push past traditional limitations in their everyday lives by writing music that reaches new emotional depths, scaling cliffs and flying off of them, or making a platform for artists to create without compromise. Each of them offers a unique and insightful perspective on this question in the debut episode of Imagination Radio.

On July 2nd, 1937 Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean without a trace. They had been circumnavigating the globe, making successful flights across South America, Africa, and so many of the places that Amelia had dreamed of as a little girl spinning her globe and wishing to one day travel to all these exotic lands. On the final major leg of their journey Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan lost radio contact while struggling to get a bearing on Howland Island, their final refueling stop before Hawaii. They never reached their destination and famously vanished in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Eighty years later investigators are still trying to piece together the mystery behind their tragic disappearance. Join Into The Portal for a special interview with the Chasing Earhart podcast host and researcher Chris Williamson as we discuss predominant theories on her disappearance, the direction current investigations are headed today and the lasting legacy of Amelia Earhart.

BookSpeak Network Sunbury Press Books Show Lawrence Knorr hosts author Mike Campbell about his book Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last. About the Book: Nearly everything the American public has seen, read and heard in the media for nearly eighty years about the so-called Amelia Earhart mystery is intentionally false or inadvertently misleading. The widely accepted myth that the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan during their ill-fated world-flight attempt in July 1937 is among the greatest aviation mysteries of the 20th century is an abject lie, the result of decades of government propaganda that continues unabated to this day. The Second Edition of Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last adds two chapters, a new foreword, rarely seen photos, and the most recent discoveries and analysis to the mountain of overwhelming witness testimony and documentation presented in the first edition of Truth at Last. The result is the most compelling, comprehensive presentation of the indisputable facts that reveal the stark truth about the Marshall Islands and Saipan presence and deaths of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan – a tragic story that American’s ruling class still doesn’t want the public to know, for reasons revealed in Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last. Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last dismantles and debunks the popular theories that Amelia Earhart's Electra crashed and sank off Howland Island on July 2, 1937, or landed at Gardner Island, now Nikumaroro, where the suddenly helpless fliers died of starvation on an island teeming with food sources.
What happened to Amelia Earhart on July 2nd, 1937? Where did Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappear to? Amelia was due to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles Southwest of Honolulu, on her almost completed quest to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the globe, and then she was suddenly gone forever. And for the last 80 years, the US government, historians, explorers, and conspiracy theorists have been looking for her. Her life examined and various disappearance theories explored in this inspiring edition of Timesuck. Timesuck today is brought to you by Bombfell.com - the best clothes in men's on-line shopping.

Amelia Earhart begins solo flight across the Atlantic.Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas, later moving to California. Six months after her first flying lesson she bought her first plane. Just seven years later, on June 17, 1928, Earhart, Bill Stultz and Slim Gordon became the first to fly across the Atlantic, leaving Newfoundland and arriving in Wales 21 hours later. Earhart married one of the flight’s supporters, publisher George Putnam. Together, the couple secretly planned for Earhart’s solo crossing of the Atlantic. So it was on May 20, 1932, Earhart launched from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, aimed for Paris, France. Due to bad weather and mechanical problems she landed in a farmer’s field near Londonderry, Ireland, and her effort won her international admiration and awards. Earhart secured many other flying firsts and just prior to her 40th birthday, she made plans for a 29,000-mile trip around the world with navigator Fred Noonan. On June 1, 1937, they left Miami heading east, and by June 29th, had made Lae, New Guinea, en route to California. Their next scheduled stop was Howland Island, 2,556 miles away and only 1.5 miles long, situated between Australia and Hawaii. Although U.S. Coast Guard officials stationed on the island were in radio contact with Earhart and Noonan, the two never made it. The American Navy searched 250,000 miles of ocean at a cost of $4 million, but found no trace of the plane. Her grieving husband opened a letter she’d written in the event of her death. It read in part, “I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
1600 miles southwest of Honolulu, a pair of recent high school graduates found themselves stranded on tiny, rat-infested Howland Island. For two months, they dealt with unexpected visits by Japanese bombers, stripping them of their shelter and their resources. This is the story of one of those men. --- http://facebook.com/omittedpodcast http://twitter.com/omittedpodcast http://instagram.com/omittedpodcast
On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left Papua New Guinea in a twin-engine Lockheed airplane, bound for Howland Island, a tiny island 2,550 miles to the east. They were never seen again, and speculation as to their fate continues to this day.
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk with Mike Campbell about his new book "Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last" the second edition. Nearly everything the American public has seen, read and heard in the media for nearly 80 years about the so-called Amelia Earhart mystery is intentionally false or inadvertently misleading. The widely accepted myth that the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan during their ill-fated world-flight attempt in July 1937 is among the greatest aviation mysteries of the 20th century is an abject lie, the result of decades of government propaganda that continues unabated to this day. Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last dismantles and debunks the popular theories that Amelia Earhart’s Electra crashed and sank off Howland Island on July 2, 1937, or landed at Gardner Island, now Nikumaroro, where the suddenly helpless fliers died of starvation on an island teeming with food sources. The Truth at Last presents many remarkable and enlightening new findings, eyewitness accounts, and never published revelations from unimpeachable sources including three famed U.S. flag officers and iconic newsman and Earhart researcher Fred Goerner’s files that reveal the truth about Amelia’s death on Saipan, as well as the sacred cow status of this matter within the U.S. Mike Campbell served as an award winning print and broadcast journalist while on active duty with the U.S. Navy and as a civilian public affairs officer with the Air Force. As a result of an assignment to write a newspaper overview story about the so-called Earhart “mystery” for the Navy, Mike began seriously studying the history of research into the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. In 1988 he began a long–term correspondence with Thomas E. Devine, author of the 1987 classic, Eyewitness: The Amelia Earhart Incident, and soon became convinced that Devine, Fred Goerner, Paul Briand Jr., Vincent V. Loomis and Bill Prymak were correct when they claimed that Earhart and Fred Noonan died on Saipan at an undetermined date after they failed to reach Howland Island on July 2, 1937. After 14 years of collaboration with Devine, With Our Own Eyes: Eyewitnesses to the Final Days of Amelia Earhart, was published in 2002 by a small Ohio company. He retired in October 2008 after 30 years of combined military and civilian service, and lives in Jacksonville, Florida with his wife, Nee, and their cats.

The widely accepted myth that the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan during their ill-fated world-flight attempt in July 1937 is among the greatest aviation mysteries of the 20th century is an abject lie, the result of decades of government propaganda that continues unabated to this day. Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last dismantles and debunks the popular theories that Amelia Earhart’s Electra crashed and sank off Howland Island on July 2, 1937, or landed at Gardner Island, now Nikumaroro, where the suddenly helpless fliers died of starvation on an island teeming with food sources. The Truth at Last presents many remarkable and enlightening new findings, eyewitness accounts, and never published revelations from unimpeachable sources including three famed U.S. flag officers and iconic newsman and Earhart researcher Fred Goerner’s files that reveal the truth about Amelia’s death on Saipan, as well as the sacred cow status of this matter within the U.S. Mike Campbell served as an award winning print and broadcast journalist while on active duty with the U.S. Navy and as a civilian public affairs officer with the Air Force. As a result of an assignment to write a newspaper overview story about the so-called Earhart “mystery” for the Navy, Mike began seriously studying the history of research into the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. In 1988 he began a long–term correspondence with Thomas E. Devine, author of the 1987 classic, Eyewitness: The Amelia Earhart Incident, and soon became convinced that Devine, Fred Goerner, Paul Briand Jr., Vincent V. Loomis and Bill Prymak were correct when they claimed that Earhart and Fred Noonan died on Saipan at an undetermined date after they failed to reach Howland Island on July 2, 1937. After 14 years of collaboration with Devine, With Our Own Eyes: Eyewitnesses to the Final Days of Amelia Earhart, was published in 2002 by a small Ohio company. He retired in October 2008 after 30 years of combined military and civilian service, and lives in Jacksonville, Florida with his wife, Nee, and their cats.
