Washington: The 115th birthday of Amelia Earhart is being celebrated across the world but her disappearance is still a mystery. Seventy-five years ago on July 2, 1937, Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, mysteriously vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean during her attempted flight around the world.
There are many theories circulating about Earhart disappearance but one of most interesting is that she was sent to Japan as a spy for the United States.
One theory is that Earhart was simply asked by President Roosevelt to keep her eyes open as she flew over enemy territory to see what infrastructure they had.
Randall Brink, author of “Lost Star: The Search for Amelia Earhart,” insists in his book that Earhart was a spy. He writes about interviewing a technician who told him, “I recall that I was directed to cut two 16-to-18-inch-diameter holes for the cameras, which were to be mounted in the lower aft fuselage bay and would be electrically operated.
Analysts say, “There is no evidence that that’s what happened. There are lots and lots of stories that people tell. Anecdotal recollections, witness testimony, old memories. Most of them conflict with each other and they all have one thing in common: there’s no evidence to back them up.”
The other theories behind her disappearance are:
1.           Earhart Returned to the U.S. Under a New Name
2.           Stranded Earhart Died on Nikumaroro
