The world is fascinated with a newly discovered photo that claims to show Amelia Earhart being held by the Japanese in 1937. Thats supposed to be her in the photo. Experts Cast Doubt on That New Photo Alleged to Show Amelia Earhart. The world is fascinated with a newly discovered photo that claims to show Amelia Earhart being held by the Japanese in 1. Thats supposed to be her in the photo above with her back to the camera. The only problem is that experts at the US National Archives arent so sure about key assertions made in some of this weeks sensationalistic headlines. The History Channel plans to air its documentary, Amelia Earhart The Lost Evidence, about the photo this Sunday, and youve no doubt seen the breathless coverage already. The central claim is that when Earhart disappeared in 1. Japanese in the Marshall Islands. The claim hinges on the fact that this photo from the National Archives was taken in 1. But Gizmodo contacted the US National Archives, and they dont have any date for the photo. Despite the headlines, there is no confirmation on either a date or content in the photograph from the National Archives, James P. Watch Brothers Online Forbes. Pritchett, the director of public and media communications at the National Archives, told Gizmodo. Our archivists have looked at all the materials filed with the photo in question and found no additional information about the photograph other than the caption that was marked on the image, Pritchett continued. That caption reads PL MARSHALL ISLANDS, JALUIT ATOLL, JALUIT ISLAND. ONI 1. 43. 81 JALUIT HARBOR. Its not clear what PL means, but theres no other evidence at the National Archives that this photo is from 1. The Daily Mail claimed that their own investigator an unnamed source went to the National Archives a year ago and discovered that the photo was actually from 1. US National Archives tells Gizmodo that theres no indication that this year is accurate either. Other items in the box of records from the Office of Naval Intelligence included other images related to a geographic study of the Marshall Islands area and textual records related to the survey, said Pritchett. But theres still no clarity about the year. The National Archives uploaded both the back and front of the photo to its website late yesterday so that people can do their own sleuthing. The back of the photo appears below. Its not clear why the photo is marked confidential but it probably has something to do with its origin being the US military. The History Channel special airs on Sunday at 9pm ETPT and it will no doubt get great ratings. But its safe to say that you should take any claims made with a grain of salt. Even if you think that it looks like Earhart in the photo which is a bit of a stretch if you ask me the most important piece of information would be the year that the photo was taken. And according to the US National Archives, we just dont know.

Its a lot of fun to see even the worlds best athletes talking about how much they themselves dread the CrossFit workouts. Sage receptionists and breakroom philosophers have long taught that every day has its own emotion. Your week progresses from a case of the Mondays through Wednesday. Galaxy magazine was a pulpy, science fiction paradise from 1950 to 1980, publishing some of the most important futuristic voices of the 20th centuryto say nothing. And my biggest question about all this would have to do with the fact that the photo was taken by people working for the US Navy. If the person who took this photo saw Amelia Earhart, an internationally recognized figure, alive and well in the Marshall Islands, it seems like they may have told someone about it.
