The fact that there were 30 or 40 odd people living on the island at the time running a copra plantation, including their European overseer, I would have thought that someone somewhere might have noticed the event occurring. And to cap that the commander of the search aircraft flight that arrived a couple of days after her disappearance actually landed in the lagoon and spoke with the overseer who didn’t even understand what all the fuss was about as they hadn’t seen a thing. But then in the world of Earhart theories perhaps I am being a little too sensible.
