Scientists say a satellite photograph of Nikumaroro Island in the south west Pacific shows a rust-coloured object lying on a coral reef. A team of divers is to set out to the island as it is impossible to get a definitive answer to the 64-year-old mystery from the picture. They also hope to discover whether the adventurer and her co-pilot survived for any time on the island itself. Earhart and Frederick Noonan's aircraft disappeared without trace during an attempt to fly around the world. A team from The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery has spent 12 years trying to trace it. The group based its search on fishermen's reports and circumstantial evidence before arranging for high resolution images of the island to be taken. Richard Gillespie, TIGHAR's executive director, told Space.com he plans to have divers at the site very soon. He added: "There does appear to be an object on the edge of the reef, off the western end of the island. It's in a particularly suspicious location." Human bones which were previously discovered on the island are now being re-examined.
