Sonar image captured by Kongsberg Discovery HUGIN 6000 drone
Amelia Earhart's missing plane has been located by an ocean exploration company based in South Carolina. The Lockheed 10-E Electra aircraft was found using a sonar image captured by the Kongsberg Discovery HUGIN 6000 drone, which is considered to be the most advanced unmanned underwater drone available. Tony Romeo, a former U.S Air Force intelligence officer and CEO of Deep Sea Vision, led the expedition team that scanned more than 520 square miles of ocean floor before finding what could be Earhart's aircraft within 100 miles off Howland Island after 30 days into the trip.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Amelia Earhart's plane has been spotted by an exploration team when no definitive evidence of this claim exists. Secondly, the article presents a one-sided view of theories surrounding Earhart's disappearance without providing any counterarguments or alternative explanations. Lastly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'greatest mysteries of all time' and 'popular theory that the aircraft ran out of fuel and sank into the water', which is misleading.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the expertise of Tony Romeo and his team in ocean exploration. However, this does not necessarily mean that their findings are accurate or reliable. Additionally, the author presents a dichotomy between two theories about Earhart's disappearance: one suggesting she ran out of fuel and sank into the water, and another suggesting she landed on an island and starved to death. This creates a false sense of choice for readers who may not be aware that there are other possible explanations as well. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Earhart's disappearance as one of the greatest mysteries of all time, which could potentially influence readers' perceptions and beliefs about the topic.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains a statement that the object spotted in the Pacific Ocean by deep water equipment aligns with the size and shape of Earhart's aircraft. This is an example of ideological bias as it implies that there are only two possible explanations for what happened to Amelia Earhart: either she ran out of fuel and sank into the water or she landed on an island and starved to death.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Amelia Earhart's missing plane has finally been located when there is no concrete evidence to support this claim. Secondly, the article quotes Tony Romeo as saying he feels like a 10-year-old going on a treasure hunt which implies excitement and certainty about finding Earhart's plane, but it also suggests that they are not entirely sure if what they found is indeed Earhart's plane. Thirdly, the article mentions that Romeo sold his commercial real estate properties to raise funds for this mission which could be seen as a conflict of interest and raises questions about their motives.

Bias
(85%)
The article is biased towards the explorer Tony Romeo and his claim to have found Amelia Earhart's lost plane. The author repeatedly quotes Romeo without providing any counter-arguments or alternative perspectives. Additionally, the language used in describing the image of the suspected plane as a 'blurry plane-like shape' is vague and does not provide enough detail for readers to make their own conclusions.
His team reviewed sonar data in December caught by an under-water drone from his research voyage and found a startling image:

Romeo captured an image of an aircraft-shaped object on the floor of the Pacific Ocean using sonar.
The location where the image was taken is roughly correct, geographically, compared with where Earhart's flight is believed to have gone down.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in that it presents the discovery of Amelia Earhart's plane as a definitive fact when there are still many uncertainties and questions surrounding the find. The sonar image presented as evidence is not clear enough to confirm the identity of the object, and experts have expressed skepticism about its authenticity.
Experts have expressed skepticism about the authenticity of the sonnar image presented as evidence. Dorothy Cochrane, a curator at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, said that while geographically it was in the right area where Earhart's flight is believed to have gone down, more details are needed before any definitive conclusions can be made.
The article mentions that Romeo plans to return to the area and capture better images using autonomous or robotic submersibles equipped with cameras and sonar. This suggests that there may still be uncertainties about the identity of the object found.
The article states that Tony Romeo believes he has found Amelia Earhart's plane using a sonar image, but this claim is not supported by any concrete evidence. The sonar image presented in the article is blurry and does not clearly show the shape of an aircraft.

The article by Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert and Rebecca Rommen has multiple conflicts of interest. The author is a pilot who claims to have found Amelia Earhart's plane in the Pacific Ocean. This creates a conflict of interest as it may be difficult for him to remain objective while reporting on his own discovery.

An explorer and his team believe they have found the answer to one of the greatest mysteries in U.S. history.
, Deep Sea Vision, a Charleston, South Carolina-based team that provides survey equipment for deep sea exploration, said it has uncovered a sonar image in the Pacific Ocean that appears to be Amelia Earhart's Lockheed 10-E Electra aircraft.
The company scanned more than 5,200 square miles of ocean floor with a 16-person crew before finding what could be Earhart's missing plane.
, There are no other known crashes in the area and certainly not of that era in that kind of design with the tail seen clearly in the image.
Tony Romeo, CEO of Deep Sea Vision, said during an interview with NBC's TODAY show. The team plans to return to the site later this year or early next year to grab a better image of possible wreckage.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Deep Sea Vision has found Amelia Earhart's missing plane when they have only found a sonar image of what could be her plane. Secondly, the author quotes Tony Romeo as saying there are no other known crashes in the area and certainly not of that era with that kind of design with the tail seen clearly in the image. However, this is false as there were several planes involved in World War II that had similar designs to Earhart's Electra aircraft. Lastly, Romeo claims they plan to return later this year or early next year to grab a better image of the possible wreckage but does not provide any evidence for their claim.
