A veteran pilot believes he may have uncovered new evidence pointing to the possible location of Amelia Earhart's long-lost aircraft, using satellite imagery from Google Earth to identify a 39-foot object on a remote Pacific island long associated with the aviation mystery.

Justin Myers, who has spent nearly 25 years flying, says he detected the object on Nikumaroro, a small island in Kiribati situated between Hawaii and Fiji. The measurement of the object closely matches the length of Earhart's Lockheed 10-E Electra, the aircraft she was flying when she disappeared in 1937.
