Nasa And U.S. Navy Conduct A Clandestine Search In Antarctica

On December 30, 1946, a U.S. Navy patrol plane with a crew of nine, mapping the Antarctic coast as part of a military effort called Operation High Jump crashed in a snowstorm after its radar failed to detect a slope not shown on the charts.

Now the U.S. Navy, piggybacking on scientific explorations of western Antarctica, has begun an effort to locate the plane and recover the remains of the crew members who died.

The crew members and their plane were part of what remains to this day the largest expedition ever in Antarctica, Operation High Jump, which was led by the renowned polar explorer, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and consisted of 13 ships, 23 aircraft and 4,700 men.

According to a 1946 Navy memorandum, the mission’s goal was ‘consolidating and extending U.S. sovereignty over Antarctic areas, investigating possible base sites and extending scientific knowledge in general.’

With the Cold War turning more frigid by the month, the venture unnerved the Soviet Union. The Soviet whaling fleet had just begun plying Antarctic waters, and a military publication called Red Fleet warned darkly that the operation was proof ‘American military circles are seeking to subject the polar regions to their control.’

Argentina and Chile were none too happy, either. Both countries had their own overlapping claims to areas extending from the tip of South America. Their fears of an American incursion were heightened when Chile asked Washington’s permission to send an observer along, but was turned down.

In their books, written in the 1970s, Wilhelm Landig and “outcast ufologist” Ernst Zündel claimed that Operation High Jump was literally “the last battle of World War II.”

In Secret Nazi Polar Expeditions (1978) and Hitler at the South Pole (1979), Zündel claimed that Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler had founded an SS colony in Antarctica called Neuschwabenland. The base, known as Point 211, eventually became the Antarctic Reich.

Opinion is sharply divided about the final fate of Neuschwabenland. Some argue that the Nazis abandoned their Antarctic sanctuary in the 1960s and moved to sites in the Andes.

Another group claims that the Antarctic Reich still exists and has grown into “a civilization under the ice,” home to about 3 million people of German and Ukrainian descent. It’s supposed to be somewhere in the Mühlig-Hoffman Mountains, adjacent to the ruins of Kadath, a city founded by settlers from the lost continent of Atlantis.

The Redemptionists believe that Adolf Hitler escaped from Berlin in April 1945, traveled to southern Argentina in a U-boat, and from there traveled to Neuschwabenland in a Nazi flying saucer. Hitler supposedly lived in Antarctica until 1952, when he reportedly traveled to the moon and met with aliens from space.

These aliens took him to Aldebaran, 68 light-years from Earth. According to the legend, some day Hitler will return with an Aldebarani space armada.

On November 27, 2004, the Navy undertook “the initial flight… to try to locate the wreckage of the George 1,” the plane that crashed in 1946.

The search flight,

“was a joint one, conducted aboard a Chilean Navy Orion P-3 aircraft with a Chilean crew and NASA scientists working together.”

“This wasn’t just a routine task for us,” said Capt. Christian Aldunate, the senior Chilean pilot on the recovery flight.

“It was a challenge to find clues that could help locate the plane, even though we knew it would be almost impossible to get at it because of the ice and snow that had piled up over so many years.”

During an 11-hour flight from and back to Punta Arenas, in the extreme south of Chile, the search plane dipped as low as 500 feet (150 meters) over Thurston Island so scientists could use radar and laser beams to try to locate the remains of the U.S. Navy PBM (Martin) Mariner seaplane.

“Even today it’s not easy, but we can rely on information from satellite photos, GPS systems and wind predictions,” Aldunate said, referring to global positioning networks.

“But from the time they took off until the time they arrived in the area, they had no idea what to expect.”

Though little known in the outside world, the three men who died in the (1946) crash — Wendell K. Hendersin, Maxwell Lopez and Frederick Williams — are still celebrated in Antarctica as heroes.

At McMurdo Station, a U.S. research base on the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf, there is a plaque to honor the men, the first Americans to die on any of Byrd’s many expeditions.

There are lines of magnetic force emanating from the South Magnetic Pole. What is strange about the North and South Poles is the way in which the magnetic lines of force move.

The magnetic lines of force originate from a “hole” just off the coast of Antarctica.

There are Chilean and Peruvian scientists/bases being near or along the route of UFOs emanating from inside the Earth.

Many UFOs fly directly south-north along South America. If one draws a line from South America, through the Antarctic bases of Chile, etc through the South Pole to the South Magnetic pole — then you get a straight line.

What’s interesting about this potential “UFO route” is that UFOs coming from Inside the Earth would end up flying over the America South Pole base.

However, the line of flight is such that the only places in the Antarctic where you’d stand a chance of seeing these UFOs is in the “Weddell sea” area where South American countries have their bases and at the Scott Base at the South Pole.

The other parts of the UFO route is somewhat offset from the commonly traveled routes and so there’s little chance of running into UFOs by accident at any other places. That would explain why the US Govt doesn’t like visitors to the South Pole base: It’s not that the hole is AT or NEAR the South Pole base (as we originally thought), but along the route from the real hole in the oceans off the coast.
