Snakk om å lette etter nåla... Det må da være tusenvis av fly som ligger på bunnen av Stillehavet, og millioner av deler. Tror dette er første gang det vises video i forbindelse med letingen.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- A grainy sonar image has been spotted, an aircraft recovery group says
- Historian at Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum skeptical of anything conclusive showing up
- Technology today is advanced enough to locate a plane, a trade association official says
That's the question raised by tantalizing evidence published this week by teams trying to find out what happened to famed aviator Amelia Earhart, who vanished along with navigator Fred Noonan during a doomed attempt to fly around the world in 1937.
Yet that evidence has been met with skepticism in some quarters.
Debate about the mystery gained new currency this week after researchers publicized images recorded by search teams scanning the ocean floor nearly a year ago near Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific.
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery raised the prospect of a big break in the case by publishing an image online. It showed something -- hard for the layman to size up -- on the ocean floor.

The group said, "It's the right size, it's the right shape and it's in the right place."
Could it really be a piece of Earhart's Lockheed Electra plane?
Louise Foudray, caretaker and historian of the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum in Atchison, Kansas, chose her words carefully on Friday afternoon.
"We don't want to shrug off the hard work anyone is doing. We do like the idea that people are still interested," she said. "But we're skeptical."
