Maybe I'm missing something here, but how is a photograph the most stupid evidence yet of all the searches over the years?
I mean, if this photo [from the national archives?] is real, and the location in the photo's caption is real, then what's with the white guy and white woman in the picture?
And what is the ship in the background towing, anyway?
Isn't an actual image from a camera worth more than dozens of fruitless searches through the atolls by various groups?
Maybe we've all be conditioned to tossing this Amelia search stuff into the "this again? who cares..." section of our brain. I probably have.
But perhaps the answer is right in front of us in the form of a photograph.
