Explorers think they've found Amelia Earhart's long-lost plane. Not everyone's convinced
Aviation expert Dorothy Cochrane said it's certainly an intriguing image, but it's not enough to declare the mystery solved.
"This is a sonar image … it just doesn't quite give us enough detail to go ahead and say, you know, this is Amelia's plane," said Cochrane, a curator in the Aeronautics Department of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
"You have to go back and just identify this object and say, well, it is or it isn't…. If we get good photography, you know, that goes a long way to identifying [it]," she told The Current.
