Trump says he's ordered the declassification and release of all government records on Amelia Earhart

"She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation firsts,' he wrote on his social media site. She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World. Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again, he continued. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions."

"Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island as part of her attempt to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the globe. She had radioed that she was running low on fuel. The Navy searched but found no trace. The U.S. government's official position has been that Earhart and Noonan went down with their plane. Since then, theories have veered into the absurd, including abduction by aliens, or Earhart living in New Jersey under an alias."

All government records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and other related material will be declassified and publicly released. Amelia Earhart vanished in 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe with navigator Fred Noonan. The disappearance occurred while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island after radioing that fuel was running low. The U.S. Navy conducted searches and found no trace. The official U.S. position maintains they went down with their plane. Alternative theories include Japanese capture or execution, surviving as castaways, living under an alias, or extraterrestrial involvement, and public interest remains high nearly 90 years later.
