Abba Father, we REJOICE over the unanimous bipartisan resolution declaring May 17 as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer for our nation! We celebrate the spiritual implication during this time in history for America, as we also prepare for the 250th Anniversary of one nation under God. We invite Your Holy Spirit to cause a heart of repentance to fall upon members of our government and citizens across the United States. Guide and lead our entire nation into a powerful time of prayer, fasting, humility and full-surrender towards You, O Lord. We pray Your continual mercy upon us, as we lift prayer to bring our nation back into righteousness, focused on walking closely with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! By the Blood of the Lamb, we pray, Amen.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." ( 2 Chronicles 7:14)

Fragment from downed Iranian missile impacts in Jerusalem’s Old City; Rehovot homes damaged
|
|
Iran fired nine salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel from early Friday morning into the night, at least three of which appeared to carry cluster bomb warheads, damaging houses and lightly wounding some residents, as Israel named several Iranian officials it killed in recent days.
Fragments from one intercepted missile impacted in Jerusalem’s Old City, causing damage to a parking lot in the Jewish Quarter — around 400 meters from the Western Wall and Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the Temple Mount.
No injuries were reported.

No injuries were reported.
Israel Police officers soon after inspected a public playground, just below the site where debris from the intercepted Iranian missile careened onto the walled city’s southern flank, for further fragments.
The impact was just above Dung Gate, one of seven functional entrances into the Old City, and came shortly before the start of Shabbat, disrupting residents’ preparations with a loud bang. (Times of Israel) Read more here,

Lord, we pray that we will see the Middle East situation in light of Your Scriptures and the hope of Your soon return. When Your people read the Word, we often miss the connection to the Bible. We pray for prophetic knowledge like the “sons of Issachar” who knew what was coming. Help us all to move as Your friends as we heed Your voice.
“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.” (John 15:15)

Iran Threatens To Target Americans At Tourist Sites Worldwide
|
|
Iran is threatening to target American officials, military personnel, and civilians around the world, including tourist sites and entertainment centers.
“We are watching your cowardly officials and commanders, pilots and wicked soldiers,” Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, said, according to state-run media. “From now on, based on the information we have on you, the promenades, resorts and tourist and entertainment centres in the world will not be safe for you either.”
The threat comes as Israeli strikes have eliminated several top Iranian officials in recent weeks, including the February 28 assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as senior figures such as Ali Larijani, Gholamreza Soleimani, and most recently, the IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini.
U.S. officials have long warned that Iran engages in overseas assassination plots and targeting of American diplomats. In November 2024, an Iran-linked operative was charged with coordinating a murder-for-hire scheme to kill then-President-elect Donald Trump. (Daily Wire) Read more here.

Two Governments Exit WHO & Call It Sovereignty. Pandemic Treaty Is Near Dead. Global Governance Is Taking A Direct Hit. We The People Are Becoming POWERFUL CO-CREATORS!
|
|
Yesterday, Argentina formally completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, making it the second major nation in two months to sever ties with the institution that spent the last five years pretending to be the arbiter of what goes into your body, your children’s bodies, and your government’s policy decisions. Foreign Affairs Minister Pablo Quirno confirmed the exit on March 17th, exactly one year after Argentina filed its formal notice — as required under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties — and the statement his government issued deserves to be read carefully: Argentina would now pursue health cooperation through “bilateral agreements and regional forums, fully safeguarding its sovereignty and its capacity to make decisions regarding health policies.” That sentence is a direct repudiation of everything WHO has tried to build since 2020.
Javier Milei’s government cited “profound differences in health management” — and in case anyone missed the subtext, presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni was more specific when the withdrawal was first announced: Argentina objected to WHO guidance that produced, in their words, the longest confinement in the history of humanity. That’s not a diplomatic turn of phrase. That’s an accusation. (Interest of Justice) Read more here. |

Lord, we ask that this trend continue, that more nations would drop membership in the WHO to preserve their sovereignty. We praise You for Argentina understanding the differences in the ways both the WHO and other nations handle health.

European Countries, Canada, and Japan Ready to Help Secure Strait of Hormuz to Stabilize Energy Markets
|
|
The UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, and Japan said on March 19 that they are prepared to help ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping lane blocked by Iran that U.S. President Donald Trump has asked allies to assist with opening.
In a joint statement, the countries condemned Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and energy infrastructure, as well as the effective closure of the key shipping route, and called on Tehran to immediately halt its actions.
They said disruption to global energy supplies poses a threat to international peace and security and that freedom of navigation must be upheld under international law.
“We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict,” they said. “We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping. We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait.”
The statement came as Iran stepped up strikes across Persian Gulf energy infrastructure, hitting refineries in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Qatar, while also targeting shipping in the region.
The escalation sent oil prices sharply higher, with Brent crude rising to more than $119 per barrel at session highs and U.S. West Texas Intermediate briefly topping $100, as markets reacted to growing risks to Middle East supply and disruptions to flows through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles roughly one-fifth of global oil trade.

Lord, we thank You that these nations have finally come around to help the United States. Now we pray that they will follow through to act with coordination for the US and all other allies in the region. We bind any foolish actions and ask that only cooperation be used.

1. ‘A very difficult evening,’ Netanyahu says after Iranian missiles wound 115 - JNS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night wished a speedy recovery to those wounded in Iranian ballistic missile strikes on the southern cities of Dimona and Arad, calling it “a very difficult evening in the campaign for our future.”
After speaking with the mayors of Dimona, Arad and Rishon Letzion—where an Iranian cluster munition damaged eight sites, including a closed kindergarten, without causing injuries—the premier reiterated the importance of entering bomb shelters in accordance with instructions of the Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command.
“We are determined to continue striking our enemies on all fronts,” said Netanyahu.
The Magen David Adom medical emergency response group said it had evacuated a total of 31 people to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva after a missile scored a direct hit in Dimona around 7 p.m. on Saturday. One person sustained serious wounds, one was moderately injured and 29 others were listed as being in mild condition. (Read more)

2. Iran using ‘satellite-like’ launches to double missile range, ex-IDF air defense chief warns - Jerusalem Post
Iran’s launch of a ballistic missile over a distance of around 4,000 km., shattering the 2,000 km. range that much of the world hoped it would stay under, likely involved a two-stage satellite-like launch process, former IDF air defense chief Brig.-Gen. Ran Kochav told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
Kochav said that the launch had “doubled the demonstrated capability overnight” of what Iran could do when it targeted the joint UK-US base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Echoing IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir’s statement on Saturday night that the additional distance probably stemmed from a launch vehicle that used multiple stages, Kochav noted that Iran has been working on such two-stage launch technologies for years to try to launch satellites into space.

3. Netanyahu warns Iran can reach 'deep into Europe,' urges world leaders to act at Arad missile site - Jerusalem Post
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on world leaders to join the Operation Roaring Lion, aka Epic Fury against Iran, as he and numerous other Israeli officials visited the impact site of an Iranian missile attack in the southern city of Arad on Sunday.
“They have the capacity to reach deep into Europe,” Netanyahu warned. “They are putting everyone in their sights.”
“If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world, the last 48 hours have proved it,” he said. “They fired on Jerusalem right next to the holy sites of the three monotheistic faiths.” (Read more)

4. Hundreds Wounded in Iran Missile Attacks Across Central, Southern Israel, Including Near Nuclear Site - Algemeiner
More than 200 people were wounded in several Iranian strikes on central and southern Israel over the weekend, including children who were seriously injured, after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept at least two ballistic missiles, prompting the defense minister to threaten to send Iran “back decades.”
Fifteen people were injured on Sunday following an Iranian cluster missile strike in the central Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, and Ramat Gan. By early evening, several homes and roads were damaged by the strikes.
A direct hit by a missile launched from Iran the prior evening on Arad and Dimona in southern Israel caused widespread damage to buildings and prompted the evacuation of nearly 300 people to hospital. As of Sunday afternoon, 18 children were still hospitalized. (Read more)

5. Israel strikes main bridge in south Lebanon, orders destruction of homes near border - Reuters
Near Tyre, LEBANON/TEL AVIV, March 22 (Reuters) - Israel struck a main bridge linking Lebanon's south to the rest of the country on Sunday after ordering its military to destroy all crossings over the Litani River and to step up the demolition of homes near the southern border.
The destruction of bridges and homes marks a significant escalation in Israel's military campaign in Lebanon, which was pulled into the regional war on March 2 when armed group Hezbollah fired into Israeli territory.
International law generally prohibits militaries from attacking civilian infrastructure, and the United Nations human rights chief has criticised Israel's actions in Lebanon, particularly its use of widespread evacuation orders that have displaced more than a million people. (Read more)

1. Long Debate or Norm Smashing? Senate Faces Unenviable Choices on SAVE America Act- The Washington Stand
The Senate on Tuesday set forth into territory so wild and trackless that the expedition may make Rudyard Kipling’s “Around the World in 80 Days” look like a flawlessly executed itinerary. In a narrow vote of 51-48, the Senate voted to open debate on the SAVE America Act. Under usual procedure, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) would have immediately filed a “cloture” motion to end debate and proceed to a vote. Instead, knowing that he lacks the votes to proceed, Thune chose instead to leave the debate open for an unknown amount of time.
Thune’s decision to elongate debate came amid pressure to reimplement a “talking filibuster” in order to pass the SAVE America Act.
Under Senate rules, a talking filibuster would allow each member of the minority party two speeches of unlimited length — two minutes, an hour, or even 25 hours for those who really want to show off their hatred for President Trump’s agenda. Multiply that times 47 Democrats (or 94 speeches), and the result would only hand Democrats the keys to a bulldozer to push more sand into the Senate’s procedural gears. It would also give Democrats the opportunity to propose unlimited amendments, which need not have anything to do with the subject at issue.
But such a rule-change would require a Senate vote, and Thune has said that “the votes aren’t there to do a talking filibuster.” Thus, without triggering the ill-advised procedural change, forcing a prolonged debate is a way to demonstrate to Americans what shenanigans would ensue were the Senate to bust yet another norm.
Thune also has to contend with a caucus that tolerates far more ideological diversity than the progressive purity exacted among Democrats. Despite Republicans’ 53-47 majority in the Senate, Thune just barely managed to win a vote to even begin debate on the bill. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) joined every Democrat in voting against the measure. Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) missed the vote but would have been a “no.” And former Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told colleagues he opposed the bill but agreed to vote to open debate as a courtesy to Republican leadership.

Holy Father of Truth, we are grieved that passage of a bill that has majority support has not been passed by the Senate. The obstructionists in that body have gone to ridiculous lengths to stop it with foolish arguments and statements. We ask You, our God of truth, to make a path where there is no path so that real progress to secure our elections can be made.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

2. Top Dems brush off ties to Imam who held memorial for Iranian leader who vowed 'Death to America'- Fox News
Legacy Democrats and a slew of Michigan Democratic Party lawmakers dismissed concerns over their connections to a radical Imam who eulogized the death of Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei by "the most wretched hands on Earth" and works at a mosque known for being a purveyor of Iranian propaganda.
Dearborn Heights, Michigan, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi's social media pages were a who's who of Michigan Democratic Party politicos and also included a slew of photos of him with legacy Democrats and Democratic Party officials from other states, before they were deleted. The photos, many of which come from various political and religious-oriented events, were removed from the Imam's social media after Fox News Digital reached out to him and his Michigan-based Islamic House of Wisdom (IHW).
However, screenshots retained by Fox News Digital and other photos that remain publicly available on the Imam's social media sites show him posing alongside legacy Democrats like former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State John Kerry.
Other Democrats the Imam was pictured with on his social media pages included current candidates for office in Michigan and some of the state's highest-ranking leaders, such as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whose 2023 inauguration included a Muslim prayer tribute from Ali Elahi, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, and Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich. One post on his socials included a flyer highlighting an event the IHW helped sponsor that was headlined by Dr. Anthony Fauci, while others included photos of the Imam interacting with out-of-state Democrats, such as Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga. (Read more)

3. Democrats vow political reckoning if they win midterms as campaign season heats up- Fox News
Democrats have been stockpiling ideas for months on how to retaliate against companies and figures that have aligned themselves closely to President Donald Trump's political agenda, telegraphing that merger breakups and committee investigations will play a central role in their efforts to push back against the administration should they regain power.
Most recently, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., took to social media to highlight his most recent entry on that list.
"Brendan Carr is a corrupt political hack and fake chair of the FCC," Jeffries said in a post to X. "This guy (and the entities he promotes) will find himself on the wrong side of a congressional investigation in short order."
Jeffries' comments were made in response to a post from Carr, suggesting the administration would more closely review license renewals for broadcasters perpetuating "fake news." (Read more)

Lord, we pray that You will prevent this plan from coming to fruition. We bind this plan in Your mighty Name and command it to fall to the ground.

4. NEWT GINGRICH, TED ELLIS: There's a nuclear solution to recharging American industry- Fox News
In February, the United States airlifted a nuclear microreactor for the first time. It was more than a technical achievement – it was a symbol of transformation, akin to the launch of the first steam-powered sailing ships that reshaped global commerce. And just as we couldn’t build the progress of the 20th century on the back of wind-powered ships, we can’t power the 21st-century economy with unreliable, weather-dependent energy sources. America’s future prosperity requires abundant, affordable and reliable power to complement America’s vast reserves of fossil fuels. The solution is clear: a new generation of advanced nuclear reactors.
America is entering a new era of industrial revival, powered by a surge in domestic manufacturing and the rise of artificial intelligence. This surge is creating an unprecedented thirst for electricity. After a decade of flat demand, America’s industries are roaring back to life. But grid operators are warning of a looming "reliability crisis" as reliable power plants are retired far faster than they are replaced.
Meanwhile, the demand from AI, electrification and resurgent manufacturing is projected to add as much as 166 gigawatts (15 times what New York City requires) of new peak load by the end of the decade – an unprecedented surge that will strain existing infrastructure.
For decades, nuclear power has stood as an unassuming giant in the power sector, providing nearly 20% of America’s electricity with unparalleled reliability. Today, a new generation of advanced reactors – small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors – is poised to expand nuclear energy’s role. These reactors are designed to be built in factories and assembled on-site, dramatically reducing construction times and costs. (Read more)

Lord, thank You for a solution to the problem of power for America’s needs. We ask that Your Holy Spirit hover over the creation of this new nuclear answer, keeping it safe from sabotage or nefarious agendas.

Pentagon Deploying 2nd Marine Unit to the Middle East
|
|
|
|
An additional force of U.S. warships and an attached Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is set to deploy to the Middle East amid ongoing combat operations against Iran, The Epoch Times has learned.
The USS Boxer amphibious ready group (ARG) and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), currently based out of San Diego, California, are set to sail across the Indo-Pacific region to reach the waters of the Middle East, according to a U.S. military source familiar with the matter.
A combined ARG and MEU can consist of around 5,000 sailors and Marines. These additional troops would join around 50,000 U.S. troops already deployed to the Middle East as joint U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran continue.
News of this force deployment comes just days after the Department of War ordered the USS Tripoli ARG and its attached 31st MEU to relocate from the waters near Japan to the Middle East.
An MEU would include amphibious landing and logistical capabilities to launch and support a ground combat component. It would also include air combat units, such as attack helicopters and specialized short takeoff aircraft, such as the AV-8B Harrier II or F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter.

Holy God of Wisdom, we pray that this second deployment of US Marines will do what needs to be done in this war. We ask that Your power hover over and around them. We pray for Your great and powerful wisdom and understanding to help them know the plans and actions of the enemy before they are accomplished. Let Your favor rest upon them for victory.

Trump Calls for Israel to Stop Attacks on Iran’s South Pars Gas Field
|
|
|
President Donald Trump stated that there would be “NO MORE ATTACKS” by Israel after Israel was reported to have launched strikes on Iran’s South Pars Gas Field.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the United States “knew nothing about this particular attack,” and added that Qatar “was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it.” Trump explained that because “Iran did not know” Qatar was not involved in the attack, Iran “unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility.”
“Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” Trump said. “A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.”
“Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility,” Trump added. “NO MORE ATTACK WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar – In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.” (Breitbart) Read more here

Iran's missile launch toward Diego Garcia puts Europe in the crosshairs, analysts warn
|
|
|
The Islamic Republic of Iran significantly escalated its war effort against the U.S. with its launch of two intermediate-range ballistic missiles on Friday toward Diego Garcia, a key U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean.
The targeting of Diego Garcia, roughly 2,500 miles from Iran, means Tehran’s missile capabilities appear to have exceeded previously acknowledged limits.
In the period leading up to Operation Epic Fury Feb. 28, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed, "We intentionally kept the range of our missiles below 2,000 kilometers so we don’t have that capability. And we don’t want to do that because we do not have hostility against the United States people and all Europeans."
On Saturday, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said, "Just yesterday, Iran launched a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 4,000 kilometers [2,500 miles] toward an American target on the island of Diego Garcia. These missiles were not intended to hit Israel. Their range reaches the capitals of Europe — Berlin, Paris and Rome are all within direct threat range."
IDF spokesman Nadav Shoshani blasted the alleged Iranian deception on X, writing, "Just 3 days before the war, the Iranian regime said they don’t obtain long-range missiles. Today, their lies were exposed once again, when missiles were fired 4000km away from Iran. They hoped to lie their way into becoming a force that can terrorize the world. We didn’t buy it."
Jason Brodsky, the policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), told Fox News Digital, "The Trump administration, in citing Iran's missile threat as a rationale for Operation Epic Fury, was therefore justified in its decision to undertake military action as Iran has consistently refused to negotiate over its missile program.
"It also shows how dangerous it is to solely rely on Iranian nuclear weapons fatwas and the supreme leader’s public rhetoric in formulating U.S. policy. As long as Iran retains the technical capability beyond public pronouncements, it is a threat." (Fox News) Read more here.

Lord of Angel Armies,
Thank You for protecting our military base on the island of Diego Garcia from the ICBM attack with a range of 4000 km (2500 miles). This attempted attack marked a significant.expansion of Iran's reach beyond the Middle East and toward a major US strategic hub.
Father, Your word says that all sins will be found out and once again you have exposed Iran's long range missile capabilities that seek to terrorize the world. Lord God,bring upon them their own iniquity and cut them off in their own wickedness and arrogance. Father, open the eyes of all people and all the leaders in Europe as they digest the news that they could be a direct target of one of these missiles and let them do their part in taking down this satanic regime!
Thank You, Lord, for President Trump and the wisdom and discernment that you have given to him concerning Iran and the capabilities of nuclear and ballistic missiles as he brought forth Operation Epic Fury! Jehovah Jireh, we pray that You will provide everything that the US and Israel needs to remove the threat of Iran's wicked regime and set the Iranian people free!
Once again, we pray for divine supernatural protection for our military. Bring them home safely, Lord! In the Mighty name of Jesus, we pray! Amen.
"But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the end of the wicked shall be cut off!." (Psalm 37:38)

Belgium deploys troops to guard Jewish sites as antisemitism surges
|
|
|
|
The rise in antisemitic incidents in Belgium has prompted authorities to step up security for Jewish communities, highlighting growing concerns over extremist attacks across the region.
Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken and Interior Minister Bernard Quintin announced on Monday that military personnel have been deployed to protect the Jewish community amid rising antisemitism.
“The safety of every citizen must be guaranteed,” Francken said, stressing that “antisemitism and hatred against Jews will never be tolerated.”
The Belgian government’s decision to increase security for the Jewish community comes a week after the terrorist group Ashab al-Yaminor IMCR(Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right) claimed responsibility for an attack on a synagogue in Liège. Similar antisemitic incidents have been reported in the neighboring Netherlands, and the group is believed to be linked to a broader radical Islamist network.
“In a context of growing antisemitism, the attack that took place at the Liège synagogue reminded us that the threat facing Belgium’s Jewish community is very real,” Quintin said.
“Ensuring the safety of our citizens is the responsibility of the state in all its components and beyond any political considerations. Deploying soldiers to strengthen security around Jewish sites will provide direct support to the police forces,” the interior minister added.
Belgium is home to around 30,000 Jews and a large Muslim population that reportedly numbers between 600,000 to 800,0000 people. Both population groups are mainly concentrated in the capital city of Brussels and other major cities, such as Antwerp. (AllIsraelNews) Read more here

'Hot for the Lord': 4 times Chuck Norris publicly proclaimed his faith in Christ

Father God, these days it is extremely rare to find anyone in Hollywood that honors You and stands for the truth of Your Word. Chuck Norris was one of those rare figures. Today we, too, honor his passing and we pray for the countless young men and women who followed his example, especially by learning martial arts. We pray that the seeds that Chuck Norris planted over these many years would not be stolen by the evil one, but instead would bear fruit in Your time for Your Kingdom. In Your Name, Abba God, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.
"But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” (Matthew 13:23)

Pilot believes he’s found Amelia Earhart’s long-lost airplane on remote Pacific island — with the help of Google Earth

A veteran pilot believes he found Amelia Earhart’s long-lost plane on a remote Pacific island with the help of Google Earth nearly 90 years after she vanished.
Justin Myers claims he identified evidence in the GPS images indicative of a wrecked small airplane wasting away on the island of Nikumaroro, long speculated by researchers to be a possible final destination for the aviation icon and her legendary Lockheed 10-E Electra.
Myers, who spent nearly 25 years flying, said he only joined in the Earhart mystery fervor after watching a documentary on her and her navigator Fred Noonan’s doomed 1937 attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
When he started scouring the satellite images, he said he “was just putting myself in Amelia and Fred’s shoes,” he told Popular Mechanics.
Using his own experience as a pilot, he began to consider “where I would have force landed a light twin aircraft in their position, lost and low on fuel,” he said.
But as he stared at those overhead images, he started to bank on his own experience as a pilot, to think about “where I would have force landed a light twin aircraft in their position, lost and low on fuel.”
Myers keyed in on a flat area of Nikumaroro — a tiny island of Kiribati located between Hawaii and Fiji near the center of the Pacific Ocean — and noted a dark-colored object exactly 39-feet in length, matching the length of Earhart’s aircraft. (New York Post)
