Sonar images allegedly showing the underwater remains of Amelia Earhart's missing plane actually feature something far more banal: a clump of rocks, the exploration group that took the photo has confirmed.
The underwater sonar images were first revealed in January 2024 by Deep Sea Vision, a South Carolina-based deep-water-exploration company, outlining what appeared to be a sunken plane hidden 16,000 feet (4,900 meters) beneath the Pacific Ocean's surface. However, after an 11-month investigation, the company has announced that the structure is not Earhart's missing plane after all.
