I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

Amelia Earhart's Plane?

Here's a photograph I ran across recently.  It looks like a Lockheed Electra.  This is the same type of airplane that Amelia Earhart flew on her ill fated trip around to circumnavigate the globe.  I checked the registration numbers and this one is different than Earhart's.  Still, its an interesting photograph that gives a us a look at the early days of aviation before the jet age.  I always wondered how the Colonial Relic Hunter would do in an expedition out to the Pacific in search of Amelia Earhart.

While there are a ton of interesting theories as to what happened to Ms. Earhart, the most compelling seem to be the Gardner Island theory and in 2012 an underwater expedition off the northwest reef of Nikumaroro suggested a possible wreckage site of the plane.  The other items found on the island are listed in the link above, but nonetheless, the legacy of Amelia Earhart lives on.

Will we ever know the truth?
