OPERATION: HIGHJUMP
Operation Highjump commenced in August 1946. It was the largest, most heavily armed naval task force ever sent to Antarctica. Leading the mission was Admiral Richard E Byrd, one of the most famous naval officers in history. The official purpose for the expedition was scientific research and military training. But that was just a cover story.
Operation Highjump had other goals. One was to extend American sovereignty over Antarctica. Something that was denied many times by the US government. Another was to locate and destroy a secret Nazi base. AND, capture the nazi’s new secret weapon: the flying saucer. UFOs were seen all over the area; suspected to be Nazi test flights. Admiral Byrd was sent to find out. When he finally arrived to Antarctica, he found a lot more than that. Let’s find out why.

0:55in december 1938 aware that he was on
0:58the brink of war hitler dedicated

1:00considerable resources to searching for
1:02mysterious ancient artifacts said to
1:04have incredible power
1:09one of these expeditions launched on
1:11december 17
1:121938 the ss schwabenland was sent on a
1:16secret mission to antarctica on board
1:18were scientists and engineers but also
1:21members of the thule society a german
1:23occultist group the thule society
1:26believed that a highly advanced race of
1:28human-like beings called aryans existed
1:31somewhere deep inside the earth and the
1:33entrance to their world was at the south
1:35pole the classified mission of the ss
1:37schwabenland was to find a location for
1:40a secret underground base and make
1:42contact with the aryans living in the
1:44hollow earth and once contact was made
1:46negotiate for access to their technology
1:49the ship reached the antarctic coast a
1:51month later for the next three weeks
1:53they mapped hundreds of thousands of
1:55square miles of the continent about 150
1:58miles inland aerial reconnaissance found
2:00what is described as an arctic oasis an
2:03area about 300 square miles that was
2:06free of ice filled with warm water and
2:08even contained plant life and the ocean
2:11beneath the oasis was a geothermal vent
2:14that kept the area relatively warm this
2:16was the ideal place for a base
2:18especially for u-boats this is where the
2:20nazis would establish the infamous
2:22underground facility known as base 211.
2:25over the course of world war ii base 211
2:28became a massive complex as large as a
2:31small city initially it was designed as
2:33an offensive structure where u-boats and
2:36missiles could be deployed but as the
2:38tide of war turned against the axis
2:39powers it became clear that the base
2:42would be an ideal way to escape in the
2:44final months of the war huge amounts of
2:46equipment supplies and personnel were
2:49transported to antarctica at the same
2:51time thousands of nazis escaped justice
2:54and were smuggled to south america with
2:56most of them hiding in argentina one of
2:57the infamous german officers to
2:59disappear was hans kamler cameron was in
3:02charge of hitler’s secret weapons
3:04program kamler’s engineers had created a
3:07prototype long distance supply plane
3:09with a range of over 4 000 miles called
3:12the ju390 only two of these were made
3:15one of them belonged to kamler and as of
3:17april 1945 neither kamlar nor his plane
3:21have ever been found and just a few
3:22months later thousands of ufo sightings
3:25were reported all over south america the
3:28american government feared that kamlar
3:30and his scientists had escaped to
3:31antarctica where they were continuing
3:33their work operating out of a secret
3:36military base hidden deep underground
3:38but these were just rumors there was
3:41only one way to find out
3:42go to antarctica
3:45[Music]
3:49okay before we talk about what admiral
3:51byrd saw in antarctica come on just get
3:54to the weird stuff i will but it’s
3:56important that you understand what kind
3:57of man richard bird was he was not some
4:00pseudo-science conspiracy theorist kook
4:03he was a legitimate badass here are the
4:05bullet points richard byrd reached the
4:07rank of rear admiral by the age of 41
4:10the youngest admiral in navy history now
4:12that by itself is impressive but how
4:15about this he was a recipient of the
4:17medal of honor the navy cross the flying

4:19cross and the silver life-saving medal
4:22in all he received 22 citations and
4:24commendations including nine for bravery
4:27and two for extraordinary heroism he was
4:30to this day one of the most highly
4:32decorated officers in the history of the
4:34navy now his resume goes on but i think
4:37you get the point if admiral byrd says

4:39he wants to be the first man to fly over
4:41the north pole he does it and if the
4:43united states sends a major expedition
4:45to the south pole to conduct a
4:47top-secret mission well there’s no more
4:49qualified person on the face of the
4:51earth to lead it than admiral richard e
4:53byrd operation high jump commenced in
4:56august 1946. the official purpose of the
4:59mission was to train personnel and test
5:01equipment in cold temperatures to
5:03explore arctic geology study the weather
5:06and develop techniques for establishing
5:08air bases in frigid climates admiral
5:10byrd led a navy task force of almost 5
5:13000 men aboard 13 ships including a
5:16brand new state-of-the-art aircraft
5:18carrier loaded with dozens of planes
5:20bombers and helicopters this task force
5:23was armed to the teeth there were two
5:26destroyers tankers supply ships
5:28icebreakers two heavily armed seaplanes
5:31and an attack submarine all fully
5:33stocked with the best weapons in the
5:35entire
5:36navy that’s a lot of firepower for
5:38training exercises and studying the
5:40weather right
5:41that mission was the cover story no
5:44personnel training or equipment testing
5:46ever took place no practice maneuvers no
5:49military exercises no scientific study
5:52of any kind was ever done according to
5:54eyewitness testimony declassified
5:57records and byrd’s own journal operation
6:00high jump had other purposes one goal
6:02was to extend american sovereignty over
6:05the antarctic continent something that
6:07was denied many times publicly by the us
6:09government naturally the other goal was
6:11to locate and destroy the secret nazi
6:14military complex known as base 211 and
6:17to capture any flying saucers they could
6:20the armada arrived on january 15th and
6:23immediately started building a base
6:24called little america but then the
6:26operation high jump story takes a turn
6:29originally meant to be a six to eight
6:31month mission after just 40 days the
6:34base is evacuated and the task force
6:37withdraws
6:38this massive expensive and important
6:40mission is suddenly terminated so
6:43what happened and this is where admiral
6:45byrd a legend in his own time becomes a
6:49legend for all time
6:56the navy task force retreated to chile
6:58and as soon as they made port rumors
7:00spread about strange findings and
7:02disasters that forced the mission to be
7:04cut short admiral byrd himself spoke to
7:07the media and rather than deny the
7:09stories he expressed deep concern about
7:12the real possibilities of devastating
7:14aerial attacks on the us and this
7:16doesn’t sound like a guy on a scientific
7:19mission it sure doesn’t
7:21bird warned that it was imperative for
7:23the united states to take immediate
7:25defensive measures against hostile
7:27forces in the arctic and antarctic the
7:29admiral went on to say that he wasn’t
7:31trying to alarm anyone
7:33but the cruel reality is that in case of
7:36a new war the united states could be
7:38attacked by flying objects that had the
7:40ability to move from pole to pole at
7:43incredible speeds admiral byrd
7:45reiterated this in a few different
7:47statements he warned that there was a
7:49new enemy that could attack any country
7:51at any time anywhere no matter the
7:54distance
7:55when admiral byrd got back to washington
7:57he was immediately debriefed and though
7:59he had just spent two weeks making
8:01statements in the press after a lengthy
8:03interrogation admiral byrd never uttered
8:06another word about operation high jump
8:09the mission was immediately classified
8:11top secret and any sailor who spoke
8:13about the mission would be arrested and
8:15imprisoned the navy then published a
8:17brief summary of the mission’s
8:18achievements and admitted some sailors
8:20were killed but they didn’t say how many
8:23and officially all the deaths were
8:25accidents and the bodies were buried
8:27there not brought home during one of his
8:29flights admiral byrd was missing for
8:31three hours in an episode of lost time
8:34but that was officially blamed on radio
8:36failure the official reason for
8:38terminating the mission early was poor
8:40weather conditions and that was that
8:42however you know how admiral byrd was
8:45missing for three hours and experienced
8:47lost time
8:48well bird was meticulous at documenting
8:51everything but when he returned to the
8:53states his journals were confiscated and
8:55classified
8:57but the government didn’t get everything
8:59he had a secret diary that he gave to
9:01his son right before he died and if any
9:03of what he claims to have seen is true
9:06well it changes everything
9:13[Music]
9:14according to admiral byrd’s diary he
9:16fuels up for a flight early in the
9:18morning the weather is clear and
9:19mechanically the plane checks out at 8
9:2215 at an altitude of 2 300 feet he
9:25checks in 0 8 15 hours radio check with
9:28base camp situation
9:31at 10 after 9 he notices a color pattern
9:33in the snow nothing extreme but he
9:35circles the area to get a closer look he
9:38makes visual contact with camp and
9:40radios in his findings then his
9:42instruments start to act strange he
9:45writes that both his compasses are
9:47gyrating so much that he can’t even use
9:49them so he uses the sun to navigate and
9:51maintains a visual of camp he reports
9:54that his controls are feeling sluggish
9:56he’s concerned about the wings icing up
9:58there’s a little ice but no indication
10:00of a problem so he continues flying
10:03toward what he perceives as a mountain
10:05range 0-9 49 hours 29 minutes elapsed
10:09flight time from the first sighting of
10:11the mountains it is no illusion they are
10:13mountains and consisting of a small
10:15range that i have never seen before he
10:17crosses the mountain range and descends
10:19toward what he describes as a green
10:21valley with a small river running
10:23through it there should be no green
10:24valley below something is definitely
10:26wrong and abnormal here we should be
10:28over ice and snow to the port side are
10:31great forests growing on the mountain
10:33slopes our navigation instruments are
10:35still spinning the gyroscope is
10:37oscillating back and forth he drops down
10:39a bit and circles back for a closer look
10:41he reports the green as being moss or
10:44tight grass the light seems different
10:46here he can see the ground easily but he
10:49can no longer see the sun now this
10:50starts to worry him because he’s using
10:52the sun to navigate but he gets
10:54distracted by something he didn’t expect
10:57on the green valley below
10:59a large animal is grazing it appears to
11:02be an elephant no it looks more like a
11:05mammoth this is incredible yet there it
11:07is decrease altitude to 1000 feet and
11:10take binoculars to better examine the
11:12animal it is confirmed it is definitely
11:14a mammoth like animal report this to
11:16base camp admiral byrd flies over green
11:19pastures that stretch for miles and he’s
11:22so amazed by what he’s seeing it takes
11:24him almost 30 minutes to realize
11:26it’s not cold anymore
11:28frost on his forward window is gone same
11:31with the bits of ice that were on the
11:32wings he removes his gloves the window
11:35of the canopy is warm to the touch he
11:38records an external air temperature of
11:4074 degrees fahrenheit
11:42his instruments are now back online but
11:44his radio is out and remember in the
11:47official report admiral byrd was out of
11:49radio contact for three hours so he
11:52flies for another hour over what looks
11:54to be a countryside or a pasture on the
11:57horizon
11:58he sees the impossible a large shining
12:01city
12:02the plane shutters admiral byrd grabs
12:04the controls but they’re not responding
12:06he notices the plane feels light and
12:09buoyant
12:10then on both sides of the plane
12:13strange aircraft are rapidly closing in
12:16their discs shaped and seem to be
12:17radiating light and somehow they’re
12:20running completely silent now thinking
12:22this is now a really good time to head
12:24back admiral byrd tries the controls
12:26again no luck the plane’s engine
12:29suddenly cuts out but somehow continues
12:32flying controlled by some unseen force
12:35the craft are right up alongside his
12:36plane now close enough that admiral byrd
12:39can see markings in that instant his
12:41wonder turns to terror the markings are
12:44swastikas
12:46[Music]
12:51according to documents leaked in 1991
12:54things back at camp little america take
12:56a strange turn just two days after
12:58arriving bright lights were seen on the
13:01horizon the sailors thought it was
13:03another ship but they were below the
13:05antarctic circle in uncharted waters the
13:08lights then ascended at a 45 degree
13:10angle into the sky very quickly they
13:12tried to make radar contact but were out
13:14of range three hours later five more
13:17lights appeared in the sky and began
13:19flying directly toward the ships
13:21anti-aircraft guns and 20-millimeter
13:24cannons were fired but had no effect a
13:26radio operator stationed on the uss
13:28brownson gave testimony of how strange
13:31crafts suddenly appeared from the ocean
13:33this is corroborated by lieutenant john
13:35sayerson who said objects shot
13:37vertically out of the water at
13:39tremendous speeds one object flew
13:41between the mass of his ship with such
13:43force that the radio antenna oscillated
13:45back and forth from the turbulence an
13:48aircraft from the uss kurutuk took to
13:50the sky but was immediately struck by a
13:52beam of energy and destroyed about 10
13:55miles away the torpedo boat uss maddox
13:58burst into flames and began to sink
14:00according to the report this was the
14:02first attack of several that would occur
14:04over the next few weeks february 26
14:06would be the last engagement with the
14:08unknown craft the navy task force
14:10ordered retreat and left the area a full
14:13six months before their mission was
14:15supposed to end although lieutenant
14:16sayerson couldn’t identify the lights he
14:19wondered if they were what he called
14:21german wonder weapons being operated by
14:24survivors of the recently defeated third
14:26reich operating out of a secret base
14:29under antarctica his testimony has
14:31fueled speculation that still exists and
14:33to this day investigators are trying to
14:36determine
14:37what really happened during operation
14:39high jump
14:41[Music]
14:47admiral byrd’s radio which hadn’t been
14:49working for at least an hour suddenly
14:51comes back to life though the signal was
14:53distorted a voice starts speaking
14:56english with a slightly german accent
14:58welcome admiral to our domain we shall
15:01land you in exactly seven minutes relax
15:03admiral you are in good hands the plane
15:06gently lands itself an admiral bird is
15:09met by several men all tall with blonde
15:11hair
15:13sounds like it bird joins the strangers
15:15on a platform that levitates and rushes
15:18them toward the city at great speed he’s
15:20directed to an elevator that takes him
15:22quickly and silently deep underground he
15:25is to have an audience with the master
15:27admiral byrd is led into another room
15:29where an older man is seated at a long
15:31table admiral bird is asked to sit down
15:34the master says his people are called
15:36the ariani and they’ve been observing
15:38humans for a long time
15:40but only now are they choosing to
15:42interfere the master says that admiral
15:44byrd’s race is too immature for atomic
15:47energy and are at risk of destroying
15:49themselves the master says every time
15:51they try to make contact their ships are
15:53fired upon and pursued by fighter planes
15:56so instead they chose admiral byrd to
15:58carry this message because he’s a famous
16:01and well-respected figure the master
16:03hopes that the world will believe him
16:04after the meeting the admiral is
16:06escorted back to his plane and after
16:08flying for a few minutes a voice comes
16:10through the radio that control of the
16:12aircraft is now his a voice says alfida
16:15sane and disconnects definitely aryans
16:18when admiral byrd arrives at the
16:19pentagon in march 1947 he is debriefed
16:23and interrogated for hours he relays the
16:25message from the master and advises the
16:27president he’s ordered to remain silent
16:29about the operation and indeed admiral
16:32richard e byrd never spoke a word about
16:34this mission again the final entry in
16:36his diary is a number of years later
16:38admiral byrd feels what he calls the
16:40long night coming but doesn’t want this
16:43knowledge to die with him just as the
16:45long night of the arctic ends the
16:47brilliant sunshine of truth shall come
16:49again and those who are of darkness
16:51shall fall in its light for i have seen
16:53that land beyond the pole that center of
16:56the great unknown admiral richard e byrd
16:59united states navy 24th of december 1956
17:04an admiral byrd passed away three months
17:06later this secret diary was found by his
17:09son richard byrd jr and subsequently
17:11released as was his father’s wish and 18
17:14months after that the antarctic treaty
17:16was signed forbidding anyone from going
17:19to antarctica without special permission
17:21from one of 12 signatory governments and
17:24even with special permission you may
17:26only go in a few small designated areas
17:29antarctica is bigger than europe bigger
17:31than australia bigger than the entire
17:32united states yet all that land is off
17:35limits
17:37why
17:38was there a secret nazi base is there a
17:40civilization living underground the ufos
17:43described by the sailors in 1947 behave
17:45an awful lot like ufos we’re seeing
17:48right now since we can’t go to their
17:50world they could be trying to come to us
17:52with the same warning they gave admiral
17:54byrd so maybe instead of trying to
17:56destroy these craft and destroy each
17:58other we might want to listen to what
18:00they have to say and who knows the
18:02entire fate of the world may depend on
18:05it
18:12okay talk about a story having it all
18:14ufos nazi bases government cover-ups
18:17even hollow earth and i’ve done a lot of
18:19research on hollow earth so if you want
18:21to see that video let me know in the
18:23comments anyway i’ll tell you right up
18:25front there’s a lot of the story that
18:27can be debunked
18:28but not all of it let’s start with
18:31admiral byrd’s secret diary it’s not
18:33real first of all the flight in the
18:35diary takes place in the north pole so
18:38we’re already off to a rocky start since
18:40antarctica is as far south as you can
18:42get and some of the log entries are
18:44almost identical to actual published log
18:46entries from the admiral the same types
18:49of instrument failures engine issues
18:51show up in both places for some reason
18:53also whole paragraphs of what the master
18:56said to admiral byrd seem to be
18:58plagiarized from the 1937 film lost
19:01horizon where the main character is
19:03talking to the dalai lama who issues the
19:05same kind of warning in 1964 a book
19:08about the hollow earth was released by
19:10walter siegmeister under the pen name
19:12raymond bernard admiral byrd is
19:14mentioned quite a bit in the book
19:16bernard went on to write lots of books
19:18about ufos and hollow earth and later
19:20when bird’s secret diary appeared guess
19:23who wrote the foreword
19:25yep raymond bernard but the dead
19:27giveaway for me the secret diary is full
19:30of exclamation points like lots of them
19:32if you read any of bird’s other logs no
19:34matter how excited he gets he doesn’t
19:36write like he’s posting on reddit he
19:38writes like a gentleman so what about
19:40the nazis here’s where it gets tricky
19:43the schwaben land did go to antarctica
19:46in 1938 but its mission was to secure
19:48new ports for whaling to supply germany
19:50with its own whale oil for margarine
19:54a nazi mission to the south pole for a
19:56delicious buttery spread exactly
19:59germany wasn’t at war yet but hitler was
20:02planning it a lot of oil and fat based
20:04products were imported hitler wanted to
20:06make sure that these industries could
20:08continue and his army could be fed in
20:10case foreign supplies were cut off the
20:12nazi mission did claim some land for
20:15germany and it’s widely thought that
20:17they did look for a location for a base
20:19and maybe even tried to build one but no
20:21evidence of a base has been found
20:23however nazi artifacts have been found
20:25in the arctic in the north which could
20:27be why this story continues to circulate
20:30but so far nothing in the south could be
20:32underground
20:33it could be i’m not saying nothing’s
20:36there i’m just saying we haven’t found
20:37it yet but they found it and aren’t
20:39telling anybody well that’s always a
20:41possibility the us government did lie
20:43about the real purpose of operation high
20:46jump and it’s true admiral byrd never
20:48spoke about it publicly except for those
20:50cryptic comments in the chilean
20:51newspaper el mercurio el mercurio is a
20:55real paper and admiral byrd did give
20:57them an interview obviously the article
20:59was released in spanish but when it was
21:01translated back to english his words
21:04were twisted around to make the story
21:05sound more dramatic never let the facts
21:08get in the way of a good story right
21:10bird never said there are ships that can
21:12fly pole to pole at tremendous speeds he
21:15said the united states could be attacked
21:17by planes coming from the poles and it
21:20should be ready for that an operation
21:22high jump had a press contingent about a
21:25dozen reporters giving daily reports
21:27there really wasn’t much going on so
21:30rather than send back a three-word story
21:32lots of ice the reporters added their
21:35own flair for example bird did find a
21:38small lake that had uniquely warm
21:40temperatures with algae growing in it
21:42but it was reported as a land of blue
21:44and green lakes and brown hills in an
21:47otherwise limitless expanse of ice
21:50right
21:51in 1991 after the collapse of the soviet
21:54union millions of secret documents were
21:56released and one of those written in
21:581947 was a description of operation high
22:02jump and in 2006 a russian documentary
22:05was released based on that secret
22:07intelligence report the soviets did
22:09believe that operation high jump was a
22:11mission to find and destroy a nazi base
22:13and look with all that firepower i don’t
22:16think that’s a stretch the reports of
22:18the battle with ufos comes from the
22:19soviet documents but it’s iffy on the
22:22facts and they got some of the names of
22:24the ships wrong but they did get some
22:26right and the us military has a history
22:28of changing a ship’s name and rewriting
22:31the ship’s story if it serves navy
22:33policy
22:35always the soviet report said that ufos
22:37weren’t trying to destroy the american
22:39ships which they easily could have done
22:41they just wanted the ships to turn back
22:43the mission was cut way short the
22:45official reason for that is weather but
22:47that’s a lot of resources wasted because
22:49of weather were there really ufos
22:51protecting something down there or is
22:54this disinformation deliberately leaked
22:56to the soviets by u.s intelligence
22:58i don’t know
22:59i’ve debunked as much as i can for you
23:02even though a lot of the story is false
23:04not all of it is and it seems as the
23:06only way we’ll get answers is to go to
23:08antarctica but if there’s one thing that
23:11every government in the world agrees on
23:13it’s that whatever is down there needs
23:15to stay there but i’ll leave you with
23:17these final thoughts just a few months
23:19after operation high jump a ufo
23:22allegedly crashed in roswell new mexico
23:24the location of the crash is only a few
23:27miles from the world’s first nuclear
23:29explosion and admiral byrd did go
23:32missing for three hours and arrived back
23:34at camp three hours late he was in a

ADMIRAL BYRD SECRET DIARY ~ OPERATION HIGH JUMP ~ HOLLOW EARTH
After the passing of Admiral Byrd, his son found his diary and eventually published it. This is a small excerpt from the book titled, The Missing Secret Diary of Admiral Byrd. By Richard Evelyn Byrd.
Summary of the transcript
Admiral Richard Bird was a highly regarded explorer. In 1947, he headed the Operation High Jump in their mission down to Antarctica. After he passed, his son found his diary and published it. The following is an excerpt from the diary itself.
Flight log base, Camp Artic, February 19, 1947
They flew over a small range of mountains, encountering strong turbulence. There was a small river running through the center of the valley. They believed there should be no green valley below, that something was definitely wrong. They should be over ice and snow, but to the port side are great forests growing on the mountain slopes and their instruments were still spinning.
The pilot rose to 1400 feet and executed a sharp left to better examine the valley below. It was green with either moss or a type of tight-knit grass. Also, the light was different and they could no longer see the sun. They make another left turn and see a large animal which looks like an elephant. Upon closer examination, they determined it was a mammoth. They decreased their altitude to 1000 feet and used their binoculars to confirm it was indeed a mammoth like animal. The temperature indicator read 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
They try to reach the base came radio, and it’s not functioning. Countryside below is now more level than normal. The aircraft seems light and oddly buoyant. The controls refuse to respond. Ahead, we spot what seems to be a city. Off our port and starboard wings are a strange type of aircraft. They close rapidly alongside us and are disc shaped with a radiant quality to them.
They come close enough to see, and the markings on them look like a swastika. The pilot tugs at the controls again and they will not respond. They caught us in an invisible vice grip. The radio crackles, and a voice come through that sounds slightly Nordic or has a Germanic accent. They say, “Welcome Admiral to our domain. We shall land you in exactly seven minutes. Relax Admiral, you’re in excellent hands.”
The pilot notes the engines have stopped running, and the aircraft is under some strange control. The controllers are useless. We receive another radio message announcing that the landing process has begun. The plane shutters slightly and we descend as though they caught us in some giant unseen elevator. The downward motion is negligible and we touch down with only a slight jolt.
I’m making a hasty last entry in the flight log as several men approach us on foot. They are tall with blonde hair and in the distance is a large, shimmering city pulsating with rainbow hues of color.
I do not know what is going to happen next, but I see no signs of weapons. A voice tells me to open the cargo door. I comply. From this point on, all that I write is by memory. The following event here defies the imagination and would all but seem like madness if it had not happened that they took the radioman and me from the aircraft and received us most cordially.
We then boarded a small platform like conveyance with no wheels and it moves us towards the glowing of the city with great swiftness. The city seems to be made of crystal. We arrive at a large building of a type I’ve never seen before. The city appears to be right out of the design board of Frank Lloyd Wright or perhaps more correctly a Buck Rogers setting.
They gave us some type of warm beverage which tasted like nothing I’ve ever savored before. It was delicious. After about ten minutes, two of our wondrous appearing hosts came to our quarters. They announce I am to accompany them and I have no choice but to comply. I leave my radioman behind and walk a short distance to an elevator. We descend downward for some moments until the machine stops and the door lifts silently upward.
We proceed down a long hallway that’s lit by rose-colored lights that seem to emanate from the walls themselves. One being motions us to stop before a great door with an inscription over the door that I cannot read. The great door slides open noiselessly and they beckon me to enter.
Meeting with the Master
My host speaks, “Have no fear, Admiral. You are to have an audience with the Master. I bid you welcome to our domain. I see a man with delicate features and the etching of years upon his face. He sits a long table and motions me to sit down in one chair. He places his fingertips together and smiles. He speaks softly again and conveys, “Admiral, we have let you enter here because you are a noble character and are well known on the surface world.”
I half gasp under my breath. The master replies with a smile. “You are in the domain of the Ariani, the Inner World of the Earth. We shall not long delay your mission and we will safely escort you back to the surface and for a distance beyond.
“But now, Admiral, I shall tell you why we have summoned you here. Our interest rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was at that alarming time we sent our flying machines, the flugel rods, to your surface world to investigate what your race had done. That is, of course, past history now, my Dear Admiral.”
“But I must continue on. We have never interfered before in your race’s wars and barbarity, but now we must, for you, have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely that of atomic energy. Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of your world. And yet, they do not heed. Now we chose you to be witness here that our world exists. Our culture and science are many thousands of years beyond your race.”
I interrupted, “But what does this have to do with me, Sir?”
The master’s eyes seem to penetrate deeply into my mind. After studying me for a few moments, he replied, “Your race has now reached the point of no return, for there are those among you who would destroy your very world rather than relinquish the power as they know it.”
I nodded, and the master continued. “In and afterward, we tried to contact your race. But they met our efforts with hostility. Your fighter planes fired upon our flugel rods and even pursued them with malice and animosity. So now, I say to you, my son, there is a great storm gathering in your world, a black fury that will not spend itself for many years. There will be no answers in your armies. There will be no safety in your science. It may rage on until they trample every flower of your culture and they level all human beings in vast chaos. Your recent war was only a prelude to what is yet to come for your race. We see it more clearly with each hour. Do you say I am mistaken?”
Then he gestured with a lovely slender hand a motion of peace and he ended our meeting. Quickly, we walked back through the great door of the master’s chamber and once again entered the elevator. The door slid silently downward and we once again went upward. One of my hosts said, “We must make haste, Admiral, as the master desires to delay you no longer on your scheduled timetable, and you must return with this message to your race.”
I said nothing. All of this was almost beyond belief. Once again, my thoughts were Interrupted as we stopped. I entered the room and was again with my radioman. He had an ancient, anxious expression on his face. As I approached I said, “It’s alright.
Howie, it’s all right.”
The two beings motioned us toward the awaiting conveyance. We boarded and soon arrived back at the aircraft. The engines were idling, and we boarded immediately. The entire atmosphere seemed charged now with a certain air of urgency. After the cargo door was closed, the unseen force immediately lifted the aircraft until we reached an altitude of 2700 feet.
Two of the aircraft were alongside for some distance, guiding us on our return. I must state here the airspeed indicator registered no reading, yet we were moving along at a very rapid rate. Two and a half hours later, a radio message comes through. “We are leaving you now, Admiral. Your controls are free. We watched for a moment as the flugel rods disappeared into the pale blue sky. The aircraft suddenly felt as though the plane was caught in a sharp downdraft for a moment. We quickly recovered her control.
We do not speak for some time. Each man has his thoughts entry and flight log continues to 20 hours. We are again over a vast area of ice and snow and we were approximately 20 minutes from base camp. We radio them and they respond. The conditions we report are normal. Base camp expresses relief at our re-established contact. We land smoothly at base camp. I have a mission.
End log entries.
March 11, 1947
I’ve just attended a staff meeting at the pentagon. I’ve stated fully my discovery and the message from the master. All is duly recorded. The president has been advised. I am now detained for several hours (six hours, 39 minutes to be exact). I’m interviewed intently by top security forces and a medical team. It was an ordeal. I’m placed under strict control via the national security provisions to this United States of America. I am ordered to remain silent regarding all that I have learned
On the behalf of humanity. Incredible. I am reminded that I am a military man and that I must obey orders.
December 30, 1956
These last few years elapsed since 1947 have not been kind. I now make my last entry in this singular diary. In closing, I must state that I have faithfully kept this matter secret as directed all these years. It has been completely against my values of moral right. Now I seem to sense the long night coming on and the secret will not die with me, but as all truth shall, it will triumph and so it shall. This can be the only hope for humankind.
I have seen the truth, and it has quickened my spirit and has set me free. I’ve done my duty towards the monstrous military industrial complex. Now the long night approaches, but there shall be no end. Just as the long night of the arctic ends, the brilliant sunshine of truth shall come again. And those who are of darkness shall fall in the light. For I have seen the land beyond the pole that center of the great unknown.

Hollow warning from Byrd met with silence at the Pentagon

by STEVE HARRISON about a year ago in EXTRATERRESTRIAL
The inner secrets of our planet: PART ONE
On Thursday last week two anniversaries relating to American polar explorer Richard Byrd occurred. Firstly it was the 64th anniversary of his death in Boston in 1957, aged 68, and secondly it was the 74th anniversary of the day he was debriefed at the Pentagon following his participation in Operation Highjump, when South American newspaper reports claimed he encountered incredible disc-shaped aircraft with swastika markings during the Antarctic expedition.
But events in the South Pole in 1947 are not the only mystery surrounding Admiral Byrd, with his 1926 journey to the North Pole, claimed to be the first by air, also the subject of a huge amount of intrigue.
In 1996 an archivist at Ohio State University mysteriously discovered Byrd’s diary of the historic flight on the eve of the 70th anniversary of that auspicious trip to the northern extremity of the world.
It may seem strange that it surfaced so close to the anniversary, but given the significance of that day it’s only to be expected archivists would be searching for information about him leading up to it. But despite it’s discovery it could neither confirm nor dispel suggestions the flight was cut short before Byrd made it to the pole. What it does apparently reveal is that Byrd himself believed he’d reached it.
But in addition to the analysis of researchers who’ve had access to the transcript, To The Pole by Raimund Goerler, a former member of Byrd’s crew during later expeditions, Norwegian explorer Bernt Balchen, also claimed after Byrd’s death that the American naval officer and his pilot in 1926, Floyd Bennett, failed to reach the North Pole on 9 May.
Balchen claimed Bennett had confessed to him months after the flight that he and Byrd had been forced to turn back 150 miles shy of the pole due to concerns about an oil leak, despite Bennett having given numerous interviews and writing an article for an aviation magazine about the flight, before his death in 1928, that confirmed Byrd’s interpretation, for which both men received the Medal of Honour.
But whether Byrd did or didn’t reach the North Pole in 1926, Balchen’s testimony and the diary certainly cast doubt about the veracity of his claims, which if true would also call into question another alleged Byrd journal that came to light a few decades earlier, relating to events that took place at the time of his 1947 mission to the South Pole.
Apparently in the possession of Tawani Wakawa Shoush the founder of the International Society for a Complete Earth (ISCE), now known as the Hollow Earth Research Society (HERS), the diary surfaced in the 1970s and went into print in 1990 after being passed on to UFO researcher and author Dan Weiss.https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hollowearthresearch.org%2F&v=1&app=1&key=57d2ec5998440ab74c7cf485bffd908c
Edited by Timothy Green Beckley and Tim Swartz, The Missing Diary of Admiral Richard E Byrd supposedly tells of a mysterious trip Byrd made over the North Pole on 9 February 1947, when he was supposedly at the southernmost extremity of the planet leading Task Force 68.
How this journal came into the ISCE’s possession is a mystery, as is the reason he’d be flying over the North Pole when attached to a high-profile mission to Antarctica.
Assigned to Operation Highjump, Task Force 68 left Norfolk, Virginia, on 2 December 1946 and was scheduled for a six-month tour of the Antarctic, although the expedition came to an abrupt end after about two months of mapping and photographing the coastline and interior of the continent.
The journal as far as I can ascertain is tagged Flight Log – Base Camp Arctic and tells how, while on a northerly heading, Byrd spots a range of mountains he’s never encountered before just over three hours into the mission, whilst also experiencing problems with the magnetic and gyro compasses which are beginning to gyrate and wobble.
Presumably because of the Base Camp Arctic tag and other references to a northerly heading researchers have attributed it as being the log of a flight over the North Pole, but less than two weeks later reports from Chilean newspapers were quoting Byrd as having encountered a new enemy that “could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds” during a 20-minute engagement with incredible flying discs that emerged from the water and attacked the task force in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica.
So my assumption, without personally having seen the documents allegedly passed on to the ISCE, would be that the flight log of 9 February, if genuine, refers to a mission over Antarctica, during which Byrd claims to have been pulled through a vortex into the inner Earth, where he encountered the humanoid inhabitants of the city of Agartha and a figurehead referred to as the “Master”, who reprimands Byrd for humanity’s recent invention of the atomic bomb and warns that a dark age is to come if humans don’t change their ways.
It all seems very strange and was certainly not something that was talked about again by Byrd following his debriefing at the Pentagon, a final journal entry suggesting he was sworn to never speak of the incidents again.
However, perhaps the most compelling evidence of Byrd’s encounters in Antarctica in 1947 come from the Chilean newspaper reports from 5 March, when crew members of Task Force 68 told reporters of skirmishes with incredible disc-shaped craft that resulted in “many fatalities”. And, rather than deny the heavy losses, Byrd told the Chilean press of a new enemy capable of traversing from pole to pole at incredible speeds.
During his February flight into the inner Earth, Byrd claims in the diary to have flown over a strange mountain range before encountering lush vegetation where there should only have been ice and snow. He reports seeing an animal resembling a mammoth and then being drawn to a city where no city should be, which he later discovers is called Agartha.
The navigation instruments during the flight are spinning all over the shop and the gyroscope oscillates back and forth, with the plane’s controls unresponsive. The plane is apparently escorted to Agartha by “radiant” disc-shaped aircraft marked with swastikas.
Until this point the diary entries are short and delineated by time but after landing Byrd and his radioman are asked to leave the craft by several tall blond-haired figures, with Byrd later escorted for an audience with the “Master”.
Further entries are Byrd’s recollections of the events that followed. He is told he is in the domain of the Arianni, the inner world of the Earth, and that his mission will not be delayed for long.
He is apparently told the destruction caused by the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan resulted in the Arianni sending their “Flugelrads” (translated from German as flying discs) to the surface world to investigate the impact of these weapons on mankind’s development.
“You see, we have never interfered before in your race’s wars, and barbarity, but now we must, for you have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely, that of atomic energy,” the Master allegedly tells Byrd. “Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of your world, and yet they do not heed. Now you have been chosen to be witness here that our world does exist. You see, our culture and science is many thousands of years beyond your race, Admiral.”
The Master continues: “In 1945 and afterwards, we tried to contact your race, but our efforts were met with hostility, our Flugelrads were fired upon. Yes, even pursued with malice and animosity by your fighter planes. So, now, I say to you, my son, there is a great storm gathering in your world, a black fury that will not spend itself for many years.
“There will be no answer in your arms, there will be no safety in your science. It may rage on until every flower of your culture is trampled, and all human things are levelled in vast chaos. Your recent war was only a prelude of what is yet to come for your race.”
The Master then tells Byrd to return to the surface with a message for humanity: “The dark ages that will come now for your race will cover the Earth like a pall, but I believe that some of your race will live through the storm, beyond that, I cannot say. We see at a great distance a new world stirring from the ruins of your race, seeking its lost and legendary treasures, and they will be here, my son, safe in our keeping.
“When that time arrives, we shall come forward again to help revive your culture and your race. Perhaps, by then, you will have learned the futility of war and its strife… and after that time, certain of your culture and science will be returned for your race to begin anew.”
Byrd is then led back to rejoin his radioman and the pair are taken back to their plane which is guided out of the city and returned on a course to their base camp, where it apparently lands an hour or so later.
But less than three weeks after this alleged encounter Operation Highjump was abruptly terminated and Task Force 68 was holed up in Chilean ports, crew members telling reporters of a battle against strange discs that emerged from the ocean. Byrd was silenced after his Pentagon debriefing on 11 March and nothing heard from the Master again.
But in July that year a disc-shaped craft is supposed to have been retrieved from a ranch near Roswell in New Mexico, during a summer when there were waves of UFO sightings over residential areas across the United States.https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ufoinsight.com%2Fufos%2Fwaves%2F1947-ufo-wave&v=1&app=1&key=57d2ec5998440ab74c7cf485bffd908c
There have been many suggestions that Operation Highjump was a response to a perceived Nazi colony called Neuschwabenland that Adolph Hitler had established in Antarctica during World War II, with the fuhrer himself perhaps having escaped there.
World Top Secret: Our Earth Is Hollow! author Rodney Cluff claims Byrd entered the “hollow” Earth for the first time through an opening in the North Pole in 1927 and then visited again two years later through openings in both poles. As part of the Operation Highjump mission he is supposed to have flown halfway through the South Pole opening in 1946, before a search mission for German World War II refugees in February 1947 took him back into the inner Earth.
Genesis For The Space Race author John Leith goes on to claim that the task force was then turned away from the continent after Byrd allegedly fired upon the disc-shaped craft.
So, where to start with the questions? Had Hitler’s Nazis come into contact with the Arianni before the end of the war? Was Operation Highjump a response to that? Why was Byrd silenced by the Pentagon and were the Arianni responsible for a wave of UFO sightings in 1947?
Want to know more? Read the next part of this fascinating mystery when I examine the legend of Agartha and the Arianni civilisation and the evidence that supports it.
