Deep Sea Vision, a deep-sea exploration company, initially believed it had found Amelia Earhart's missing plane using sonar images, but later confirmed the images showed a natural rock formation. Earhart's disappearance in 1937 remains one of aviation's greatest mysteries, with various theories about her fate. Despite the setback, the company continues its search for the aircraft, having surveyed over 7,700 square miles of ocean floor.
