      Finding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart is not easy. People keep wondering what happened to her and her navigator. At that time, there are no high technologies like we have nowadays. The navy becomes involved in searching disappearance of Amelia Earhart. It is about 40,000 men in 10 ships and 65 government airplanes eroded the Pacific ocean, searching for even the smallest trace of Amelia’s Electra airplane. They quickly go to the last destination that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan missing at the Howland Island. The aircraft carrier USS Lexington and other 4 destroyer escorts were prepared to make ready to get underway for Howland Island in searching effort on disappearance of Amelia at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego. All the things and supplies needed are gathered to ensure that everything is going smoothly. They also carried about 62 capable planes to find Amelia Earhart’s plane. Lack of evidence makes the rescue team a bit hard in finding Amelia. Almost nothing was heard after the effort and mission done to discover the missing of Amelia and Fred. However, Colorado was ordered to change path and proceed to conduct an air search of the Phoenix Group hoping this will be able to locate them quickly and easily.

The photo of map is showing that rescue team have searching Amelia at the intended destination which is in Howland Island. However, it also a probability that Amelia's plane in the Nikumaroro Island because the place close to the Howland Island. So, when there is nothing found in the Howland Island, they try to find Amelia in new search site which is in Nikumaroro Island.

     Besides, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) also involved in the mission on searching the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and they have long been involved with the search for Amelia Earhart. They advocate the theory that Earhart successfully landed on Gardner Island now known as Nikumaroro Island an uninhabited island. A lot of theories are made by people as there are no specific evidences to support what actually happened to both of them. The mission by TIGHAR, will focus on finding pieces of Earhart's Lockheed Electra aircraft. On July 19, after spending $4 million and scouring 250,000 square miles of ocean, the United States government reluctantly called off the operation. The mission of finding Amelia is continuing until now to make sure the mystery can be revealed.

     Nowadays, the technology has develop successfully from time to time which affected the surroundings as well as to the society. So, American government still want to reveal and solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart by using the modern technology today.‘Earhart Project’ has launched in 1988 by the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) whick aims to solve the Amelia Earhart mystery using modern day technologies and an extensive worldwide network of investigators. TIGHAR using a technology, sonar images which is believed will help them to have clear views and what could be Amelia Earhart's plane.

The image shows a 22-foot-long object resembling a wing that could be wreckage from Earhart's airplane.

It is the clear of sonar images captured from the raw sonar data where TIGHAR believe there is a wreckage from Amelia Earhart's plane. It could be that Amelia has landed safely there but because she has no food and can't contact anyone to ask for help in order to survive there for several days until she died there."There is archaeological evidence on that island that we believe indicates that Earhart was marooned there until her death several days later," Ric Gillespie, TIGHAR's executive director, told ABC.

However, TIGHAR will continue the discovery of Amelia starting on August 2014 with estimated to cost $3 million.
