Tony Romeo, a pilot and former Air Force intelligence officer turned CEO of Deep Sea Vision, claims to have discovered the location of Amelia Earhart's missing plane from 1937 after funding an $11 million sea expedition. He sold commercial real estate to finance a deep-sea exploration in the Pacific, using sonar technology to search the ocean floor in the area where Earhart is believed to have crashed. Analysis of the sonar data captured by an underwater drone revealed a blurry image resembling a plane, roughly 100 miles from Howland Island, her intended destination on the historic flight in 1937.
