President Donald Trump is walking into one of the country’s great unsolved mysteries, pledging to release government records regarding famous aviator Amelia Earhart.
Earhart disappeared in the Pacific Ocean in 1937.
“Nearly 90 years ago, her loss of disappearance has attracted millions of people,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “I am ordering the administration to declassify and release all government records about Amelia Earhart, her last trip and all other her.”
Earhart is described by the Smithsonian as “probably the most famous female pilot in aviation history.” In 1932 she became the second woman with the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean through the Solononstop. When she disappeared, she was about to fly around the world.
“Earheart’s Lost Disappeaud has produced countless theories that include radio issues, poor communication, navigation and pilot skills, other landing areas, spy missions, imprisonment and even quietly living in rubber plantations in the Philippines,” says the most likely theory, saying she was likely burning fuel.
It is not clear what records the federal government will record in Earhart.
Trump ordered records that have been released from other big moments in history. He signed an executive order in January that ordered the release of a classification document related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.
