Key Takeaways:
The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum is hosting two events on July 19-20 in Atchison, Kansas, to discuss the 87-year-old mystery of Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance.
The first event, "Adventure Amelia," is a panel discussion featuring experts, including Deep Sea Vision founder Tony Romeo, who claims to have found a sonar image possibly showing Earhart's aircraft.
The second event, "Deep Dive with Deep Sea Vision," will detail the Romeo brothers' ocean search process, their controversial sonar image, and plans for a confirmation expedition to verify if the image is Earhart's plane.
On July 2, 1937, aviatrix Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared while flying over the Pacific in their Lockheed Electra 10-E.
Although the disappearance was 87 years ago, it remains of interest to many. On July 19 and 20, it will be the topic of two separate events presented by the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum in Atchison, Kansas.
