Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the National Archives released documents regarding the search for Amelia Earhart after her disappearance in 1937.
Gabbard posted on X on Friday, “Beginning today, at @POTUS’ direction, records related to Amelia Earhart’s final flight and disappearance 88 years ago will be declassified and shared with the American people. These records include reports, maps, and other documents tracing Earhart’s final journey, her last known communications and location, and the initial search following her disappearance.
“Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump’s leadership, a historic initiative is underway to digitize and publicly release these records from across the federal government, including newly declassified files today from @NSAgov. As agencies identify additional files, the new documents will be uploaded to @USNatArchives on a rolling basis, alongside those previously released, at http://archives.gov/ameliaearhart.”
The document release comes nearly two months after President Trump pledged to declassify and make public government records related to Earhart and her final flight.
The release includes 4,624 pages that contain Coast Guard messages sent to Earhart, 39, in the days after she and her flight navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared on July 2, 1937, during her attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world, the New York Post reported.
