There is some anecdotal evidence that an aircraft similar to Earhart's Lockheed Electra was at one time stranded in the shallows off Nikumaroro. Although wreckage of the plane, which presumably broke up in the surf, has never been found, that has given rise to speculation that the famed aviatrix and her navigator, Fred Noonan, may have died as castaways on the desolate island.

Archaeological surveys of Nikumaroro have revealed tantalizing evidence that somebody lived there for a time under primitive conditions. Trace evidence includes the remains of birds and turtles upon which the unknown castaway(s) may have fed, part of a Blucher oxford shoe similar to the type AE was known to wear, and a box rumored to be the case for a sextant just like the one Navigator Noonan used.

Human skeletal remains were also supposedly found on Nikumaroro many years ago. Apparently, the bones were bagged, and sent off to local government authorities for further analysis. However, there seems to be no record of what happened to these remains -- if they ever existed at all.

Some people believe that Amelia Mary Earhart crashed in Nikumaroro with her navigator Fred Noonan. There has been reports of finding objects that may of belonged to Amelia on Nikimaroro. Some believe that there might be parts of Amelias Electra deep down in the ocean near Nikumaroro.

But no one know for sure.
