My first thought in seeing this headline was to think "no these guys again." They do this every few years. They trot out some new piece of "evidence" in an attempt to drum up money for yet another expedition to the Nikumaroro island. Never mind that they've already been there 10 times and have failed to come up with anything credible.

It is also worth noting that the island in question has been periodically inhabited for much of the century prior to TIGHAR beginning its investigation, so the discovery of numerous artifacts is unsurprising, but it hasn't stopped them from trying to link everything they find to Earhart. What's more, the records of radio communication with the aircraft don't support the notion that they would have landed so far off course.
