Updated on

Summary US group trying to solve famed aviator Amelia Earhart mystery is reporting encouraging results.

Ric Gillespie is head of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery. He says high-resolution video taken in July shows what appears to be a debris field of manmade objects in the waters off an atoll that is part of the republic of Kiribati.Gillespie says the debris field is in the same area where an object that the group says could be a landing gear can be seen sticking out of the water in a 1937 photograph.That photo was taken shortly after Earhart and Fred Noonan disappeared on an around-the-world flight.Gillespie says analysis of video from the July expedition is continuing.
