Explorers have been looking for any signs of Earhart since she and her navigator Fred Noonan went missing in July of 1937.

Robert Ballard — the explorer who discovered the Titanic in 1985 — is leading a new search for Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10E aircraft.

One of the leading theories about Earhart’s disappearance is that when trying to land on the tiny Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean, she and Noonan instead landed on the nearby island of Nikumaroro.

“Everything I ever found was found visually,” Ballard said. ROV pilots take turns in four-hour shifts patrolling the seascape, “looking for colors that aren’t natural to the background.”
