Moles. It may be so that some of the post loss signals are credible , but are they more credible than Earhart´s own : at 1912 GMT "1/2 hour fuel left" ? For the discrepancy , it is not necessary to belong to any group , " splash-sank" or not . A complex incident like this can , from a certain level , not be solved by verbal determination. There is however , a chance that a solution can be found by quantitative outcomes of a good navigation model , and within the limits of the science and practice of navigation of the era. It is , of course , TIGHAR´s own choice but : if you continuously debate about one single option , a forum will in the course of time become an everlasting repetition without any new vistas , reality itself delivering the evidence : scores of books , titled "Problem Solved" have in the course of time passed in review , each one with it´s own dogma , raised or not to a religion , and with no problem solution at all.
