After satellite images of an object in the Pacific Ocean were believed to be connected to Amelia Earhart’s missing plane, researchers shared an update on their expansive expedition. An Oct. 18 Purdue press release confirmed that the "visual anomaly" was "likely a collection of large trees deposited along the peninsula’s sandspit." The release noted, "The fragment’s reflective surface, long associated with the idea that the object was a metallic substance, was due to its carbonate veneer. Other items found by the team were similarly coated with a shiny concretized amalgam of coral sand." The Archaeological Legacy Institute’s executive director Rick Pettigrew added, "We can say now, after the conclusion of our work, that the Taraia Object did not or does not represent the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s Electra aircraft. Instead, we think it’s most likely that the object was a collection of debris that accumulated here."
