Deep Sea Vision believes they may have come across Amelia Earhart’s wrecked plane in the Pacific Ocean.

(FOX NEWS) – A South Carolina-based ocean exploration
company says it may have found the airplane that Amelia
Earhart flew on her ill-fated 1937 expedition.

Deep Sea Vision CEO Tony Romeo, a former Air Force
intelligence officer, believes that the airplane-shaped
object that his company captured in a sonar image is
Earhart’s Lockheed 10-E Electra.

Earhart was trying to become the first woman to successfully
complete a circumnavigational flight of the globe when she
disappeared on July 2, 1937. She was last seen in Papua New
Guinea and disappeared near Howland Island in the Pacific
Ocean.

The CEO of Deep Sea Vision says he plans to return to get clearer pictures of the unknown object. (Deep Sea Vision)

Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem “The Raven,” beginning “Once
upon a midnight dreary,”was published on this day in the New
York Evening Mirror.

Poe’s dark and macabre work reflected his own tumultuous and
difficult life. Born in Boston in 1809, Poe was orphaned at age
three and went to live with the family of a Richmond, Virginia, businessman. Poe studied at the University of Virginia but was
expelled for gambling. He later enrolled briefly at a military
academy.

On this day in 1936, the U.S. Baseball Hall of Fame elected its first members in Cooperstown, New York: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Matthewson and Walter Johnson.

The U.S. State Department angrily accused the Soviet Union of
shooting down an unarmed American jet that strayed into East
German airspace. Three U.S. officers aboard the plane were
killed in the incident. The Soviets responded with charges that
the flight was a “gross provocation,” and the incident was an
ugly reminder of  the heightened East-West tensions of the Cold
War-era.

The occupants of the aircraft were Lieutenant Colonel Gerald K. Hannaford, Captain Donald Grant Millard and Captain John F.
Lorraine.

According to the U.S. military, the jet was on a training flight over
West Germany and pilots became disoriented by a violent storm
that led the plane to veer nearly 100 miles off course.
