Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.  Then she wanted to try going around the world so she started off from her hometown in Miami, Florida.  She would land on Howland Island.  Sometimes she would take stops in places like Calcutta India. Amelia was only a few miles away from Howland Island when everything started to go crazy.  She lost contact and started going down.  At least that is what some people think.
 Nobody actually knows what happened.  Some think that she was captured by the Chinese and there is proof.  A young man was hunting on one of the Chinese islands and found her briefcase with all of her information and passports.  He handed it in to a man, never to be seen again.  Some people think that she survived and went back to America disguised as someone else.  There is proof for that too.  An elderly woman was noticed looking exactly like Amelia Earhart.  Everything was the same.  Same nose shape, mouth, tear duct size and everything.  When they put pictures of her on top of pictures of Amelia, they are a perfect match.  When they asked her to do fingerprints and tests, she immediately declined and said that she was not Amelia Earhart.  Some people think she didn't want the fingerprints because she didn't want the fame.
Another theory is that she ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean but there are no traces found.
Before Amelia's flight she joked, "find me if you can".  Some people wonder if this was a joke at all.
People have started to find things that belonged to Amelia on beaches.
I like Amelia a lot.  She is so mysterious how nobody has figured out what happened to her.  It is mysterious and creepy at the same time.  Find out more next time on Miky's Mysteries.......
