I wonder what the significance of that photo was to the ONI? That's what interests me on first viewing. I wasn't in awe of the photographic overlay. But I do find it interesting that those were 2 Caucasians where I didn't notice it the first time I saw it.
I think at least some of the witnesses were credible. I want to know more about them. I'm still not sure who that woman was dated 1968, the math didn't add up for me the first go round. I'll run through the whole thing again as I have time tomorrow.
I also want to know more about the investigators. That one worked for the FBI? I have to look him up tomorrow.
I'm happy someone else watched it and commented!
I will try to keep an open mind if anything else comes up, but right now, I have doubts. Witness testimony is always a little dicy. Especially after so much time has passed. Most of what I saw was recollections of what someone's parents or grandparents had to say. Hearsay evidence.
The thing that is always in the back of my mind with these types of programs is that the major factor for producers of shows like this is that it will draw an audience and sponsors.
I'll wait to see if something else surfaces in the area of real evidence to support it. I'm not saying it can't be true, just that I will need a lot more to believe that it is.
I just finished watching it. Thanks to Jersey Girl for posting the livestream video, because last night I missed watching it due to a migraine.
It was compelling. The eyewitnesses who were interviewed are the last living witnesses who were there. The evidence found while not 100% conclusive is compelling enough to be believable - add to the US government coverup of Earhart's disappearance, as that of the Japanese government's - it does seem like she became a casualty of war.
I cringe at the thought of her being beheaded. That's just awful, given she'd committed no crime other than miscalculating where to land her plane.
The two Marines were convinced they'd been ordered to dig up hers and Noonan's remains. The investigators of the documentary were very thorough in my opinion, leaving no stone unturned in making their film to tell her story.
Whatever evidence there is, they have been able to sift through layers and decades of buried and forgotten to get at.. I doubt there will be anything further because the US isn't about to open its books nor will the Japanese on any of its war crimes.
