Because the internet loves a good conspiracy theory (who doesn't?cerita lucah rogol rompak blogspot), this new, wild one about beloved aviator Amelia Earhart is blowing everyone's minds.
A black-and-white image obtained by the History Channel suggests that Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan actually survivedtheir circumnavigation around the globe.
But, we're just a bitskeptical.
Earhart and Noonan's 29,000-mile flight, which departed on July 2, 1937, was cut short during the final stretch when the two mysteriously disappeared. It's been said that Earhart died after running out of fuel and crashing into the Pacific Ocean, but according to Variety, former FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry is suggesting a different theory.

Henry suggests that the two were captured by the Japanese military and held prisoner on the island of Saipan until their deaths, Varietyreports.
So, why are we just hearing about this now and not in 2012? According to Peoplethe photo was misfiled in a "formerly top secret" file until now.
The photo's big reveal comes in the form of an investigative documentary titled Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence, airing Sunday, July 9 at 9 p.m. on History. According to this video about the photo from TODAY, the person who took the photo was later killed for allegedly being a spy.
Although the photo has been deemed legitimate by two separate, independent analyses and facial recognition has been performed, Japanese archives suggest that there are no documents stating that Earhart has ever been in the country. However, digital forensic analyst Doug Carner explains, "I can say with more than 99.7 percent confidence that the photo is authentic and untouched."
Hmm. The conflicting reports of authenticity between the almost 90-year-old photo and Japanese records makes us super suspicious of this seemingly brand new theory.
And, let us please never forget the othertheories the History Channel has proudly aired.
