Search for Amelia Earhart's long-lost plane reignites with ambitious new expedition

Researchers are gearing up to resume their search for Amelia Earhart's lost plane in the Pacific Ocean after setbacks delayed the search. Purdue University officials said in a recent statement that researchers will travel to Nikumaroro Island in the Pacific to investigate the Taraia Object, a satellite-imaged anomaly believed by some to be Earhart's lost Lockheed Electra. The expedition, called the Taraia Object Expedition, will depart on Oct. 7. AMELIA EARHART MYSTERY EXPEDITION HALTED AS RESEA
