Deep Sea Vision released a sonar image in January thought to resemble Earhart’s plane, but this month it said it turned out to be a "natural rock formation."

Summary

Marine robotics firm Deep Sea Vision confirmed that a sonar image initially believed to show Amelia Earhart’s missing plane was actually a natural rock formation.

The image, taken near Howland Island, sparked excitement earlier this year as it aligned with her 1937 flight path.

However, after 11 months of analysis, the company concluded it was not the wreckage of her Lockheed 10-E Electra.

Deep Sea Vision plans to continue its search for Earhart’s last known location despite the setback.

    I’m wondering if the rock formation includes all the silverware that the coconut crabs used.
