The United States (U.S.) government has released the 4,624 pages of the declassified documents, 88 years after the mysterious disappearance of female aviator Amelia Earhart.
The American aviator was the first woman to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean.
She disappeared on July 2, 1937, over the Pacific Ocean as she was on her mission to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world.
The released documents revealed the last communication of the pilot, weather conditions and the plane condition at that time.
The last radio transmission of the female aviator was on July 2 which stated that she was near Howland island and her plane was running low on fuel.
The last known words that Earhart spoke were, “We are on the line 157-337 … circling but cannot hear you … Go ahead on 7500. Will repeat this message … Wait.” She kept circling in vain on Howland Island before mysteriously disappearing.
The latest release from the U.S. National Security Archives will not solve the 88-year-old mystery; however, it did put an end to several conspiracy theories.
For years, some claimed that Earhard was captured and executed by Japanese Imperial forces.
Another theory suggested that a woman used telepathy to locate Earhart’s supposed grave in Spain.
Earhart’s disappearance remains one of the greatest aviation mysteries of the modern era.
Experts have been unable to locate the aviator or her aircraft even after 88 years.
