No, it has not.
All they accomplished was a fuzzy sonar image at what I recall was 10k feet.
That story doesn’t gel with prior accounts at all. I, for one, am highly skeptical.

The sonar image seems to have swept wings but the Electra had straight leading edges.

I saw the image. It was a swept wing aircraft with no engines on the wing. It looked more like an F-86 type aircraft. Certainly not like a twin-engine straight wing Lockheed Electra.

“For the wings of an Electra to fold rearward as shown in the sonar image, the entire centre section would have to fail at the wing/fuselage junctions,” it said. “That’s just not possible.” My instant reaction when I saw the sonar image. That's not an Electra, which among other things was twin-engined.

“It was a swept wing aircraft with no engines on the wing. It looked more like an F-86 type aircraft”
So if it is an aircraft, sweep back wings, it would have been from the late 1940’s to 50’s. Since there would not have been the “fog” of war one would think it would have been a documented crash? Of course it would be up to the explorer to investigate that angle, it may not have been lucrative for him to do so.

They found something that looks sort of like an airplane then jumped to conclusions.

Learned something every day. Today I learned that Howland and Baker Island, 40 miles apart, are now uninhabited US possessions, protected by the US Coast Guard. And the last place in the world to celebrate New Years. Odd if they're uninhabited.
It does look like a plane. And the islands are in the middle of nowhere relative to major conflicts. However both were bombed by the Japanese early in the war out of concern an airport was/could be there. In 1943 the US built an airfield on Baker. And Amelia was headed for Howland when she disappeared, there could have been a strip. The idea that it could be only her plane seems to be pure speculation. I wish him the best of luck raising a lot more than $10 million to recover the plane. Presuming it's outside US territorial waters.
