From Alana Wexler via e-mail:
I have been very fascinated by the Amelia Earhart disappearance case for years, and for some time now, I have been doing my own research and trying to see if I could dig up any clues or evidence myself. Recently, I went on GoogleEarth and was scanning through the Kiribati Islands, when I came upon the island Makin (or Makin Meang, its former name). Below are pictures of the island. As you zoom in on the island, in the northern region of the island there is a small patch of dirt. On that patch of dirt, there is a pair of track marks. It looks like it might've been plane tracks. If you follow with your eyes up the marks to almost a northeast area at the top of the island, you can see a dark, charred looking spot where it looks like somebody might've landed on in the past. That little spot then leads to the plane tracks.





Maybe it could be from Amelia Earhart's Electra plane? Or maybe it could be from a Japanese warcraft from the time of the attacks on Pearl Harbor? Or maybe it was just from the fighting of the Battle of Makin? Whatever this possibly is, I'm wondering if you guys might know what exactly this is.
Please note well: This is Alana's theory, not mine.
