Examination of high-definition underwater video obtained from the Pacific island of Nikumaroro has revealed what appear to be pieces of aircraft wreckage that might have come from Amelia Earhart's plane,
according to researchers from the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, commonly known as TIGHAR. Although the pieces may not be readily apparent to the naked eye in the images, forensic scientists say they could be a pulley, a fender and a wheel.
The location of the presumed wreckage coincides with what appears to be a plane's landing gear sticking up from the water in a controversial 1937 photograph taken by British Colonial Service officer Eric R. Bevington three months after Earhart was lost.
