On 2 July 1937, the world's most famous female pilot vanished over the Pacific Ocean. Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were attempting to circumnavigate the globe when they disappeared searching for tiny Howland Island. Her final radio transmission—"We are on the line 157 337"—came at 8:43 a.m., then silence. The United States launched the most expensive search in history, covering 150,000 square miles of ocean. They found nothing. Nearly 90 years later, the mystery endures. Did they crash and sink near Howland? Did they survive as castaways on Nikumaroro Island, where bones and artifacts have been found? Were they captured by the Japanese? In 2025, President Trump declassified 4,600 pages of government records, but the truth remains elusive. Two people flew into the blue horizon and never came back.
