Trump orders the administration to declassify the Amelia Earhart Files almost 90 years after she disappeared in the Pacific Ocean

President Donald Trump has ordered the administration to declassify and release all available files regarding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

The pilot disappeared in the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, and tried to become the first woman to fly around the world.

“Many people have asked me about Amelia Earhart’s life and times, and it’s such an interesting story,” the 79-year-old wrote in the Truth Social Post on Friday, September 26th.

“Amelia has become almost three-quarters of the world before suddenly disappearing, and without notice, to be seen again. Almost 90 years ago, her loss of disappearance captivated millions,” he added the legacy of an American aviator.

He said, “I am ordering the administration to declassify and release all government records related to Amelia Earhart, her last trip and everything else.

In early July, Kimberlin King Hins, a Republican representing the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, asked Trump to confidentialize documents related to the Loss of Earhart.

She referenced the release of documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and in her request to Trump, claiming that the story of the late pilot was “a certain weight” in her area.

“Many older residents still remember her presence in the Pacific Ocean and share reliable, direct accounts of seeing her on Saipan. These memories have been passed down for generations and continue to promote interest in revealing the full story of her destiny,” King Hins writes.

“In spite of these memories, her loss and the possibility that she died on our island remain an issue of unresolved historical research,” King Hins continued. “In pursuing clarity of my membership, I recognize that the US government may still hold documents or records relating to Earhart’s journey and ultimate location that have not yet been published.”

According to CBS News, documents previously released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the Information Marked “Secret” and Privacy Act stated that Earhart is not a spy, as some theories argued.

Earhart was traveling with navigator Fred Noonan. When the duo disappeared while flying from New Guinea to Howland, the duo disappeared as Earhart tried to make history as the first female pilot to fly around the world.

Before the loss of failure, Earhart radioed a US Coast Guard cutter named Itasca, stationed near Howland, informing him that he was short on fuel. The Navy searched the area extensively, but two weeks later Earhart and Noonan were declared lost in the sea.

“This is one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century,” explained Dorothy Cochran, a general aviation curator at the National Aeronautics and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institute, in 2007, in the editor of the museum’s magazine.
