The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum in Atchison, Kansas, will host two events on July 19-20 focusing on Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance, coinciding with the town's annual festival.
The first event is a panel discussion featuring various experts and explorers, including Tony Romeo of Deep Sea Vision, who will discuss theories, evidence, and the potential location of Earhart's aircraft.
The second event, "Deep Dive with Deep Sea Vision," will feature Tony and Lloyd Romeo, who recently publicized underwater sonar images they allege may be Earhart's plane, detailing their search process and plans for a confirmation expedition.
These discussions underscore the enduring public and scientific interest in resolving the 87-year-old mystery surrounding Earhart's lost round-the-world flight.
