US EditionBatch of declassified U.S. government records on aviator Amelia Earhart released
The National Archives released thousands of documents including NSA files and last communications following a presidential order to increase public access to Amelia Earhart's flight records.
- On Friday, the US National Archives published a batch of newly declassified government records online about Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance, with more files to be posted on the National Archives website as they are declassified.
- President Donald Trump ordered the declassification in September amid decades of fascination by historians and the public with Earhart's final flight, sparking calls for transparency.
- Released records contain newly declassified National Security Agency files, last known communications, weather, plane conditions, and possible search locations, but aviation experts say the material is unlikely to shed new light.
- An explorer has claimed to find possible wreckage of Earhart’s plane, while the prevailing belief remains that Earhart and Fred Noonan ran out of fuel and ditched near Howland Island.
- Earhart, who won fame in 1932, took off May 20, 1937 from Oakland, California and vanished July 2, 1937 during the 2,500-mile flight from Lae, Papua New Guinea.
