Has the search for Amelia Earhart coming to an end? Will the mystery of her fate finally be solved once and for all? A group claim that this is just the case!
“It has been 72 years since famed aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared while attempting to fly around the world. But the mystery remains unsolved: Nobody knows exactly what happened to Earhart or her plane.
Now researchers at the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, or Tighar, say they are on the verge of recovering DNA evidence that would demonstrate Earhart had been stranded on Nikumaroro Island (formerly known as Gardner Island) before finally perishing there.”

It’s taken me some time to be able to write this article. That’s because I am in awe of the time travel prophecy that came my way just a year and a half ago. I shouldn’t be because it’s happened before. I clearly remember sitting in a quiet room in the late 1980s when Preston Nichols, Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron spoke of a cataclysmic event that would occur sometime in the future of New York City. As my video camcorder captured their every word, I remember how reluctant they were to talk about it. Their reluctance seemed almost dutiful and preprogrammed. Watching that video today, I know they were describing the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
To recap from previous articles: On February 12, 2004, a woman that I’ll refer to as Virginia was joined by her husband and two friends to clean out a small room that existed on the second floor of their newly purchased retirement home in Maryland. The eighty-five year old house needed an interior facelift. With Contractor work set to begin shortly, the four had the task of removing items from a smaller room that was going to become part of a larger open area when everything was completed.
As the small group of people prepared the items for removal, they suddenly felt sick to their stomachs. A green mist appeared in the room accompanied by the form of a man and the odor of over-heated circuitry. He looked like a sailor wearing a long out of date naval uniform. Before anyone could react, the sailor looked at the group and said, “2005. Watch out for 2005! They’re playing with your future!” After that, the Sailor faded into the wall and the green mist quickly dissipated. All agreed later that they had heard his voice and everyone heard the same thing. They described the Sailor’s voice as deep and full, but sounding a bit muffled.

The residents of Woolaston in Stourbridge, England, live in fear that their beloved cat may disappear one day. Over the past several years, more than 50 cats have mysteriously vanished from the streets of the West Midlands town. The mystery is centred on Meriden Avenue and its surrounding roads.
No bodies have ever been discovered on the sides of the road, which pretty much rules out that they have been run over by cars. Strangely, the collars of several of the missing cats have been found, but this has just served to deepen the mystery.
The RSPCA has been investigating the reports of the feline vanishings and have taken the reports very seriously. So much so that they have now stopped rehousing any cats in the surrounding area.
They have conducted door-to-door interviews, but are no closer to solving the mystery.
“In this case there have been reports of missing cats with no information about how they have gone missing, with no bodies of cats as evidence therefore it is difficult to investigate further without any evidence,” they told reporters.
They added that she could not confirm an exact number given by the residents claims as the investigation has been going for only two years.
