- [Narrator] Secret alien or Nazi UFO bases in Antarctica.

It's an intriguing idea and popular with many ufologists.

Now, whilst admitting that reality

is often much stranger than fiction, which is this?

Reality or fiction?

As always, let's take a look at the evidence.

The notion that Nazi Germany had a secret UFO base

in Antarctica is one of the most famous ideas

associated with the end of the Second World War.

Specifically, that a number of secret factions

of Nazis escaped and set up a secret underground base

to aid in the development

of their top secret flying saucer program.

Such stories have been circulating for decades,

adding uniquely to popular theories about alien visitors

that remain a hallmark of modern UFO lore.

This idea has had renewed attention

during the past few years,

thanks to widespread attention given to a 2006 discovery

by Ohio State University scientists

who found a gravitational anomaly

located below Wilkes Land, Antarctica.

The has been interpreted by some

as being the long sought-after secret Nazi UFO base.

However, it has turned out to be simply an impact crater

with a typical mass concentration at its center.

It should be noted, firstly,

that there is some legitimacy to the idea of a Nazi presence

in Antarctica during the years leading up to World War II.

In fact, the icy continent's strategic importance prompted

an expedition by Germany between 1938 and 1939.

This remains a significant contributing factor

in the beliefs that the Nazis may have tried

to establish a permanent stronghold at the South Pole.

It is also well known that a variety of advanced aircraft

had been designed by the Germans towards the end of the war,

including suggestions that some of these

resembled flying saucers.

Though, in fairness, no verifiable reports

have been found that would indicate

the veracity of the claims about Nazi flying saucers.

In large part, the crux of the entire Nazi UFO affair

has long remained centered around a device

known as Die Glocke, or the bell.

This was a conjectured Nazi weapons project,

rumored to have been anything

from some kind of experimental anti-gravity device

to a special anti-aircraft weapon.

Unfortunately, there's a lack of good source material

about Die Glocke that can help support the case

that such a device ever existed.

So what apart from the expeditions carried out

by Germany during the 1930s might serve

as the Genesis of these legends about a Nazi UFO base

in the Southern most polar regions?

This notion actually has less to do with anything

the Nazis did, and instead appears to stem

from a series of seemingly cryptic comments

made by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd

during an interview with international news service

Correspondent Lee Van Atta.

It's important to interject at this point,

that Byrd was a highly respect elected American adventurer

and hero known for his pragmatic and down to earth views,

and his proven extreme courage in the face of adversity.

The interview which took place on board

the USS Mount Olympus in 1947,

appeared in the Wednesday, March 5, 1947 edition

of a Chilean newspaper, El Mercurio.

Admiral Byrd declared that it was imperative

for the United States to initiate immediate defense measures

against hostile regions,

potentially using Antarctica as their base.

He further stated that he didn't want

to frighten anyone unduly,

but that it was a bitter reality

that in the case of a new conflict,

the United States could be attacked by, quote,

- [Adm. Byrd] Flying objects which could fly

from pole to pole at incredible speeds.

- [Narrator] As one can see, such wording

easily lends itself to the idea of a connection

between the Nazi UFO myth and something going on

at the South Pole.

What kind of perceived threat prompted Byrd

to make such claims during the interview?

Had some kind of danger actually existed

in the southernmost extremism of Antarctica

just after World War II?

And if so, what was the nature of this threat?

And could it have been associated

with the technological carryovers from Nazi Germany

as some UFO researchers have already speculated

over the years?

Byrd had been tasked with leading

the ill-fated Operation High Jump

which occurred between late 1946 and early 1947

and involved an extremely heavy military presence.

Hence some in UFO circles have gone so far as to suggest

that Byrd's Operation High Jump represented a secret battle

between US forces and a group of Antarctic residents

with advanced Nazi UFO technologies.

After all, what else might have sent Byrd

and his scores of ships and aircraft packing so quickly,

terminating six months earlier than expected

after embarking upon this extensive

and extremely well funded military expedition?

The theory about Nazi UFOs would also seem

to explain Byrd's cryptic warning.

However, on the contrary,

it seems that what Byrd was actually discussing

was the threat of an enemy nation,

getting to Antarctica and establishing military bases

there before America.

In fact, although details about it remained undisclosed

for many years, the establishment of strategic bases

had been precisely what the American presence

during Operation High Jump had aimed to do.

And as regards the brevity of the expedition,

rather than bumping into secret Nazi bases

and their armaments, Byrd and his company encountered

a relentless and unconquerable enemy, mother nature.

The brutal conditions during that winter

had been creating huge problems.

In one dramatic instance in January, 1947,

a sudden downwind managed to sweep a helicopter mid takeoff

directly into the ocean,

leaving a narrow window of opportunity for the pilot

to escape the icy waters and be rescued.

There were plenty of other situations, however,

where the servicemen involved weren't as lucky.

Complications resulting from extreme weather conditions

led to the loss of several lives

during the short period

that Operation High Jump was underway.

Operation High Jump was terminated the following February

solely because of the worsening weather.

Returning again to Byrd's cryptic statements

given to El Mercurio,

there was no need for an enemy aircraft, standard or exotic

to be present at the time of Operation High Jump

to validate Byrd's commentary.

Because by the end of World War II,

experimental jet engines were already in development.

And within a few short years,

planes that incorporated such technology

would eventually revolutionize both military

and commercial aircraft.

Admiral Byrd would certainly have known about this

and spoke of the expectation that any military

with a permanent presence in the South Pole

might be able to use this strategic location

to launch these aircraft that could reach

any place on Earth within just a few short hours.

No wonder he was concerned.

There is another factor worthy of consideration here.

Had Byrd's statements about lightning fast flying objects

been somewhat exaggerated too?

Antarctic explorer, Paul Sipple noted

of the famous El Mercurio interview

that the reporters aboard the USS Mount Olympus

had somewhat overblown claims

from Byrd's earlier expeditions in the region

relating to the so-called Bunger's Oasis,

a lake found to have uniquely warm temperatures,

about 30 degrees centigrade or 90 degrees Fahrenheit

containing a variety of algae.

Byrd later described the location as,

- [Adm. Byrd] A land of blue and green lakes

and brown hills in an otherwise limitless, expansive ice.

- [Narrator] And that his crew had,

- [Adm. Byrd] Seemed to have dropped out

of the 20th century into an ancient landscape

where land was just starting to emerge

from one of the great ice ages.

- [Narrator] Byrd would later call the discovery,

- [Adm. Byrd] By far the most important of the expedition

so far as the public interest was concerned.

- [Narrator] No doubt this led to speculation.

Paul Sipple went on to say,

- [Paul] The 11 press representatives aboard

the USS Mount Olympus had fired off dispatches

to the outside world,

describing the Oasis as a Shangrila,

implying that it was warmed by a mysterious source of heat

that might be supporting vegetation.

- [Narrator] Byrd is claimed to have written

in his so-called secret diary.

- [Adm. Byrd] Beyond the mounting range is a valley

with a small river.

Something is definitely wrong and abnormal here.

We should be over ice and snow.

Our navigation instruments are still spinning.

The gyroscope is oscillating back and forth.

- [Narrator] Byrd continues saying that he can see animals

in the valley, among them,

a living specimen of a wooly mammoth.

This no doubt helped fuel other claims

associated with Byrd's expeditions.

Namely, that they had discovered a habitable region

at the South Pole where in a cavernous entry point

into the Earth had led them to meet residents

who existed below ground,

the so-called hollow earth dwellers.

And took him to meet the master who said to Byrd,

"We shall not long delay your mission

and you will be safely escorted back to the surface.

But now, Admiral, I shall tell you

why you have been summoned 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 that we sent

our flying machines,

the fluügelrads to your surface world to investigate.

We have never interfered before

in your race's wars and barbarity.

But now we must, for you're tampering with a certain power

that is not for mankind, namely, that of atomic energy."

A wonderful story,

but unfortunately the secret diary

has been definitively shown to be a fake.

Taken into context, the embellishment of such details

by the press could easily have served as the root of claims

about not only a prehistoric oasis at the South pole,

but also the flying craft and eventually a secret Nazi base.

Again, it's seems likely that Byrd

had been making a general statement about the potential uses

of enemy aircraft during the coming decades,

in the sense that a hostile nation,

should they ever establish a base at one of the poles

might use the area as a centralized point

for launching attacks against the US Mainland.

Indeed Byrd had previously suggested that the US

might wish to establish such a base at the North Pole.

Hence it seems clear that he viewed the polar extremities

as militaristic advantageous locations.

Finally, Byrd's phrase,

- [Adm. Byrd] In the case of a new conflict.

- [Narrator] Seems to further indicate

that his statements dealt not with any existing menace,

but instead with the potential for a future threat

by an enemy nation.

With World War II still fresh in people's minds,

many at the time shared concerns such as these.

All speculation aside, what we are left with

is very little ground for believing

that Operation High Jump ended prematurely

due to the presence of hidden subterranean races,

attacks by wooly mammoths or even Nazi flying sources.

Few would argue however that the various grains of truth

pertaining to Byrd's historic operations

have seeded themselves in the fertile grounds

of myth and speculation,

taking on a new and fascinating life of their own

throughout the past several decades.

One of the most significant researchers in this area

is Micah Hanks,

the author of "Magic, Mysticism & The Molecule".

In his book, he presents his investigative analysis

of ancient magical practices, mystical states,

and out-of-body encounters

through altered states of consciousness.

Micah also explores stories of mythical animals and lands,

and critically for our consideration of Operation High Jump,

secret advanced technology.

Micah is fascinated that there continues

to be growing interest in Antarctica,

and the talk of secret meetings being held there

by US presidents, astronauts, and scientists.

One of the more recent discussions circulates

around the discovery of an ancient civilization

buried beneath the ice.

A civilization that had a complex society.

There have even been claims of frozen pyramids,

photographs of which were published on the internet

a few years ago.

Dr. Mitch Darcy, a geologist

at the German Research Center for Geosciences

in Potsdam said.

- [Dr. Mitch] The pyramid shape structures

are located in the Ellsworth Mountains,

which is a range more than 400 kilometers long.

So it's no surprise that there are rocky peaks

cropping out above the ice.

The peaks are clearly composed of rock,

and it's just a coincidence that one particular peak

has a pyramid-like shape.

By definition, it is a nunatak,

which is simply a peak of rock sticking out above

a glassier or ice sheet.

This one has the shape of a pyramid,

but it doesn't make it a human construction.

Pyramid shape peaks are very common.

The Matterhorn in the Alps

and Mount Búlandstindur in Iceland are notable examples.

- [Narrator] Though there are many hard facts here,

they do not deter the hardline theorists.

They continue to believe Antarctica

is the home of a number of secret bases.

When in reality, there's no advantage

in having a secret base in Antarctica,

because if there were, the world's governments

would already have had a very public fight over it.

And there is no evidence of that at all.

Seemingly all the South Pole is rich in is natural diversity

and scientific opportunities.

And long may it stay that way.

- [Narrator] Ever since our ancestors gazed up

at the night sky and began telling stories

about what they observed,

the planet Mars has held a particular allure

for the human race.

Easily visible with the naked eye,

with an intriguing reddish hue,

the celestial body has long been at the center

of ancient myths, modern conspiracy theories

and wild scientific speculation

about possible Martian civilizations.

- It's hard to fathom the number of programs

the CIA has or is currently funding and researching.

The organization has become known to explore many things

ranging from the sinister to the strange.

But often it's the strange ones,

notably those that become declassified

because the general populace simply find them too bizarre

to be actually be true.

When certain programs come to light,

it always begs to ask that question,

what else are they doing that they aren't telling us about?

Declassified top secret remote viewing CIA documents

have revealed the discovery of an ancient civilization

that was once inhabiting the red planet.

- [Narrator] Prior to the invention of telescopes

sufficient to observe the planet for what it was,

Mars was associated with gods of various sorts

and was an important element in many ancient pantheons.

The name of Mars of course comes from the ancient Romans

who identified the planet,

which they simply regarded as a bright star

with their god of war and agriculture.

Likewise, the Greeks who also call the planet Pyroeis

meaning fiery, associated Mars

with their own god of war, Ares.

In the Hindu tradition, the planet Mars

was also linked to warfare as it stood as a symbol

for the war god, Mangala,

who was born from the sweat or blood of Shiva

and is sometimes called Lohit, meaning made of iron.

The ancient Egyptians termed the planet Horus of the horizon

or Horus the red, equating it

with one of their most significant deities.

And in the east, ancient Chinese,

Japanese and Korean tradition dubbed

the red planet, fire star.

In ancient Mesopotamia, and specifically,

the late Babylonian Pantheon,

Mars is the embodiment of Nergal, a god of war,

but also one of plague, disease and death

who would later go on to become the ruler of the underworld

and bore other names, including the burner

or the furious one, and the raging king.

Observations of the red planet became even more advanced

over the ensuing centuries.

And the fascination with Mars only increased

as more accurate information came to light.

Ptolemy laid out a workable model of the planet's orbit

in the second century and by the 17th,

the work of Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler

were able to reasonably approximate the distance

between Earth and Mars.

And Kepler later refined earlier estimations

of the planet's orbit.

Galileo Galilei was the first person

to actually observe Mars through a telescope.

And Dutch Astronomer Christian Huygens

is credited with drawing the first map of the planet

that featured elements of the Martian terrain,

including the volcanic plane known as Syrtis Major.

By the time the 19th century rolled around,

telescope technology had improved to such a degree

that astronomers could begin to make out

distinct characteristics of the planet's landscape.

For in the fall of 1877, during a perahelic opposition

of Mars in which it was relatively close to the earth,

Italian astronomer, Giovanni Schiaparelli

observed the planet through a telescope and was able to draw

a fairly detailed map of a portion of Mars' topography,

which included what he believed,

were perhaps seas, continents and vegetation.

Significantly on this particular map,

Schiaparelli also indicated several long straight lines

crisscrossing the planet's surface

that he termed canali,

which subsequently became translated into English as canals,

though it is more accurately translated as channels

or even grooves or gulleys.

Although Schiaparelli did not explicitly make the claim

that the canals were artificial constructions

rather than natural features,

he did note in his book, "Life on Mars"

that there appeared to be so little water

on the surface of Mars,

the channels might have been the main mechanism

by which the water and with it organic life

can spread on the dry surface of the planet.

The perception of canals on Mars, however,

spurred something of a craze,

both in the scientific community,

as well as in the public sphere for speculating

whether the planet was or long ago had been

the home to an advanced alien civilization

capable of enormous planet spanning engineering projects

undertaken to irrigate the arid surface.

Perhaps the most impassioned of these scientists

arguing for the advanced life on Mars hypothesis

was Percival Lowell, an American businessman,

author and astronomer who made a 15-year study of Mars

and published three books on the subject.

Lowell's drawings of the Martian surface

were intensely detailed,

and he even named many of the canals and speculated

that a technologically advanced race had constructed

the canals as a way to distribute water

from Mars' polar ice caps to the rest of the planet.

Lowell's observations were supported

by a few other astronomers, such as Louis Thollon,

and Henry Joseph Peritin.

And in 1892, Camille Flammarion wrote a book

in which he advocated for Lowell's assertion

that the canals had been built

by an intelligent civilization

who were attempting to irrigate the planet.

Flammarion, in fact, hypothesized that the Martians

were more advanced than humans.

While the idea that Mars harbored intelligent life

wasn't completely preposterous at the time,

the planet is a similar size, an axial tilt to Earth

and has somewhat earth like seasons.

Most other astronomers, even in the 19th century,

doubted very highly that the canals were even there,

much less, that they were evidence

of an advanced race of beings.

English astronomer, William Denning, for example,

stated in 1886, that his observations demonstrated

that the canals were not straight, unbroken features,

but rather irregular and likely natural formations.

In like fashion in 1895,

a summary by another English astronomer Edward Maunder,

theorized that the canals were actually not lines at all,

but rather small craters and discolorations

that only appeared linked together

because of the relatively poor optics

of the telescopes of the era.

The debate over these supposed canals

raged well into the 20th century

with even such Luminaries as Nikola Tesla,

speculating that he may have received

radio communications from aliens,

possibly Martians at his lab in Colorado Springs.

Indeed, the so-called Mars fever that sprung up

in the wake of Schiaparelli's and Lowell's observations

served as a rich vein to mine for science fiction writers

who spent the next half century

spinning marvelous tales of Martian exploration,

innovation, and invasion.

Perhaps the best well known and most influential

of all fictional takes on an advanced Martian race

was H.G. Wells' "The War of The Worlds"

published in 1898 at the height of the Mars mania,

and positing a scenario whereby

a hostile Martian force invades Earth

in order to harvest resources

that have been dwindling on Mars.

The fact that a 1938 reenactment of the story

famously performed by Orson Wells on an episode

of the American radio series, "Mercury Theater on The Air"

had such a dramatic impact on the listening public,

it suggests just how plausible the possibility

of a Martian invasion still seemed at the time.

Later writers who were inspired by Lowell's descriptions

of Martian society and technological prowess

included Edgar Rice Burroughs who in 1911,

began writing a series named John Carter who travels to Mars

and becomes involved in a conflict

between two warring Martian clans.

These stories would eventually be codified into a novel

under the "Moons of Mars" later retitled

"The Princess of Mars",

which served as the first of Burroughs'

10 book Barsoom series.

Robert Heinlein and C.S. Lewis would also pen

influential works based on the concept

as would Ray Bradbury, who in 1950,

published "The Martian Chronicles".

A series of loosely collected stories

in which humans attempting to colonize Mars

in the wake of an atomic catastrophe on Earth clash

with the native Martian population.

The romantic idea of Mars as a somewhat alternative Earth

whose inhabitants would either be our saviors

or our destroyers persisted into the 1960s,

when scientific reality would definitely hammer the nail

into the coffin of Lowell's canals

and their indication of intelligent life on Mars.

Beginning with the Mariner and Voyager missions

in the 1960s and 1970s,

the last vestiges of hope for intelligent Martian life

rather quickly lost their hold on the public imagination.

Much better telescopes and improved photography

of the Martian terrain

conclusively showed that not only were there no canals

or other artificially constructed features,

but that nearly the entire surface of the planet

resembled nothing so much as a vast desert

potmarked with gigantic craters and blasted rock formations.

Further, more accurate measurements of Mars' climate

and habitability factors demonstrated

temperatures hovering around -100 degrees Celsius,

and extremely low atmospheric pressure,

not to mention devastating dust storms

and a complete lack of surface water or vegetation.

Life on Mars it seemed, or at least life approximating

that on Earth was no longer a viable prospect.

That isn't to say, however,

that there haven't been a few holdouts

in the whole life on Mars conversation.

Following the Viking I and Viking II orbiter missions

launched by NASA in 1975, two strange anomalous photos

of a region of the planet known as Sidonia

appeared to depict a massive monument

that resembled a humanoid face.

The photos were independently singled out

by two computer engineers

at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center,

and therefore seeped into the popular consciousness.

Author Richard C. Hoagland was one of the main proponents

of the conjecture that the so-called face on Mars

was evidence of an advanced civilization on the red planet.

Hoagland in his 1987 book, "The Monuments of Mars

A City on The Edge of Forever" claimed that a race

of technologically sophisticated Martians

had built an entire city on the plane of Sidonia,

which featured not just the iconic face,

but also pyramids and other geometric structures.

He further asserted in this work and later ones

that NASA was involved in a convoluted coverup

to suppress evidence of intelligent life, not only on Mars,

but also on Venus and the moon.

- Shortly after NASA was founded,

it sought out expert opinions on the international,

legal and economy ramifications of the US space program.

The Brookings Institute responded with a 1960 report

that included thoughts on the dealing

with extraterrestrials.

Proposed studies of the implications of peaceful space

activities for non-human affairs.

It touched upon a wide range of policies,

which had certain issues, which included communications,

weather predicting systems, and space industries.

Amongst the 186 pages of recommendations were two pages

that addressed the question of what could happen

if we established contact

with an extraterrestrial civilization.

The report recommended continued studies

to determine emotional and intellectual understanding

and attributes regarding the possibilities

of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

Also studies to understand the behavior of people

and their leaders when confronted

with dramatic and unfamiliar events or social pressures.

The latter aimed to determine how such information

might be shared or withheld from the public.

This may be significant reasons why we would be told

that no unusual anomalies are found on the surface of Mars,

including the mysterious face on Mars.

- [Narrator] Although scientists have completely

dismissed the face as nothing but an optical illusion,

and indeed higher resolution images of the formation

have demonstrated that it is likely

nothing more than a natural mountainous feature

with vaguely face-like aspects,

other interested parties have taken Hoagland's ideas

and run with them.

A 2014 image that made the rounds for instance,

shows something which closely resembles a human femur bone.

While a 2017 photo generated by the Curiosity Rover

depicts a suspiciously spherical item,

which some observers have speculated,

maybe a cannonball left over

from some long ago Martian battle.

And an even earlier photo from 2007 featured

a rock formation that eerily approximated a statue

of a walking woman or some other kind of hominid.

- There have been hundreds of photographs taken of Mars

that seemingly depict strange artifacts,

structures, and machinery.

Some researchers believe that these represent

an ancient Martian civilization

that once thrived hundreds of thousands of years ago.

If that's true, then what happened that caused

their mass extinction?

Some believed it was a catastrophe,

some type of huge meteorological event,

such as a meteor striking the planet.

Others believe it was the byproduct of a huge war

that left the planet with no atmosphere

and eventually dried out leaving nothing but dust and sand.

There are even those that believe

we are the Martians ourselves.

Whatever the cause,

it would seem our nearest neighboring planet

may once have been very much like Earth.

Certainly looking at some of these unusual photographs

of the Martian surface,

there are objects and items scattered around

that really do deserve an explanation as to what they are.

- [Narrator] From these ambiguous images

and NASA's repeated explanations of them

as natural features,

conspiracy theories have continued to ferment

around life on the red planet.

Despite scientists maintaining that even if

life does exist on Mars,

it is most likely microbial or bacterial

and resides well below the arid surface

where small amounts of water may indeed be present,

the persistence of the intelligent Martian narrative

then would seem to prove Carl Sagan's comment

when he stated in 1980,

Mars has become a kind of mythic arena

onto which we have projected our earthly hopes and fears.

- If planet Mars did have civilization on it,

an ancient civilization, why wouldn't we not be told?

Why would such a thing like this,

of this magnitude be kept from us?

Well, it depends what the implications are.

It's not the information,

it's the implications of the information,

which is always critical,

always to make sure that it's not impacting society

in some negative manner.

Are we ready for the truth?

Well, I've been asked that question many times.

Yes, to the community that I know of,

but many people out there, probably not.

Are we the Martians?

It has been speculated that we could have come from Mars,

we're the aliens.

Possible, who knows?

I mean, many, many thousands, if not millions of years ago,

if there was a civilization that flourished on Mars

and they had advanced technology,

and if they were aware

of some catastrophe looming over them, then yes,

it would be feasible that they would leave that planet

and travel somewhere else.

Maybe it's nearest neighbor, planet Earth, who knows.

One thing is for sure that us humans are unusual creatures.

And the evidence against the Darwinian theory

that we have derived from apes is getting

thinner and thinner by the year.

Where did we come from? How did we get here?

And have we come from another planet?

Are just many of the questions we can't answer.

We are, and as many researchers have stated

a species with amnesia.

We don't know, we haven't got the answers.

We can only look out to the stars, to the ancients,

to the past and try and figure out who we were

and where we've come from.

As time progresses, as technology progresses

and humanity progresses,

we are and will do leave this planet,

and we will transition to the stars,

and we will travel to planets to planets.

We will probably learn a lot more

about where we may have derived and how we came to be.

One thing is for sure.

There are thousands, hundreds of thousands of people

that believe that we come from the stars,

and the evidence towards that is being stacked up

in photographic information,

which somehow gets itself out onto the internet,

taken by numerous space explorations and NASA,

European Space Agency, and of course, even China now,

anomalies on film, on photograph.

And when you look at them,

you can clearly see things that need some form

of explanation as to what they are.

Are we getting those explained to us?

No, we're not.

What is there to hide?

Why are we not being told the truth?

I've been impressed by a number of photographs,

but the ones that seem to come to mind are the tubes,

the photographs on Mars of these strange tubes

that seem to be sometimes on the surface of Mars,

sometimes beneath the surface of Mars,

twisting in unusual shapes,

sometimes have unusual light appearance to them

as if they're reflective maybe.

What are those tubes?

Well, they don't seem to be natural.

They don't look to be natural.

They look manmade.

I don't know what they are.

Most people who have seen the photographs

will probably tell you that they believe

it was some type of advanced technology

traversing from one part of the planet to another.

Maybe vehicles, maybe something else.

I will continue to think that life

will always live somehow in space.

Life has always a way of working.

We need water, and water is basically

the main ingredient of life.

It seems that water might be abundant through,

not just our solar system, but throughout the universe.

And if that is the case, then what life is out there,

it could be immense, could be plentiful,

could be intelligent and could be sat there

thinking this very same thought at this moment in time,

as to who else is out there?

One day I'm sure we'll find out.

[dramatic music]

- [Narrator] The moon, a source of wonder,

fascination and curiosity and mystery

since the beginning of humanity.

And no matter how much scientific data is collected,

the mysteries seem to continue whether it is hollow

or just a holographic projection or an alien spaceship

or colonized by aliens in underground and overground cities.

The list goes on.

- The moon is a deliberately created scale model of the sun.

And it presently stands at a distance from the sun

and from Earth, which is totally outrageous

in terms of mathematical and physical results.

In fact, astronomers have been unable to find

any other moon in our solar system that acts

in the same way,

forever keeping one side for facing away from Earth.

It's also seemingly unusual to find anything like that.

- [Narrator] From a cosmological point of view,

the moon was created as a result of a collision

between the earth and a Mars size protoplanet named Thea

four and a half billion years ago

when our solar system was just forming.

The impact caused some of the Earth's early crust

to be ejected and over time

and under the influence of gravitation,

it consolidated into a sphere.

That's the scientific viewpoint.

Now let's investigate the other thoughts.

We'll start with the already inhabited theory.

On July the 20th, 1953, John O'Neil,

the science editor for the New York Tribune discovered

what he thought was a 12 mile long bridge

on the surface of the moon.

He contacted the Association of Lunar

and Planetary Observers with this finding.

But as soon as he announced his discovery,

O'Neil was attacked by skeptical scientists.

However much to their surprise, famed, British astronomer,

Hugh Percy Wilkins confirmed that he too

had seen the mysterious formation.

And on the BBC in 1953 said,

- [Hugh] This is a real bridge.

Its span is about 20 miles from one side to the other

and at least 5,000 feet from the surface beneath.

- [Narrator] He added.

- [Hugh] Oh, there's no mistake it's artificial.

- [Narrator] However, a year later he changed his mind.

Using the 60-inch reflector

at Mount Wilson Observatory in Southern California,

as opposed to the four and 15 inch telescopes

he'd previously used,

Wilkins found O'Neil's bridge in shadow

to be a lunar crater fragment, and significantly,

that the shadow was actually facing the sun.

- Not all photographic anomalies on the moon

can be dismissed so easily.

There are hundreds of photographs

that seemingly depict ancient type structures on the moon.

One could not help ask a number of questions.

One, what the hell is up there?

Two, how old are these structures?

And three, who built them?

Maybe we can thank the Brookings Institute

as to why we don't have these answers,

as they suggested in an official report,

should we find evidence on the moon

of extraterrestrial presence, don't tell the people.

The implications of such news

could have negative impacts on our society.

- [Narrator] More controversially, there are those

who believe the moon is a hollow sphere.

This is a recent theory and possibly derives from,

or was inspired by the more ancient theories

that the Earth itself is hollow.

So let's take a passing look at the hollow earth theory

and at any similarities suggestive of a common ancestry.

The idea that the earth is hollow

has been around for centuries.

Indeed in 1692, the famous astronomer, Edmond Halley

proposed it from a scientific point of view.

In more recent times, hollow earth theory proposes

that there are openings at each pole

where you can enter the planet.

An inner sun keeps the place warm

and an advanced civilization of humanoids thrives

beneath our feet in the kingdom of Agather.

So where's the proof?

- When it comes to Admiral Byrd's statements

and diary logs, we have to ask, was he completely mad?

Or was there any elements of his story actually true?

You can well imagine his story has certainly lent hand

to many conspiracy theories.

Even now in 2019, we have circulating stories

from alleged whistle blowers

describing secret underground bases in Antarctica

that also have been created by an advanced race.

Some believing that they are

actually extraterrestrial in origin.

- [Narrator] Well in 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd,

the famed explorer allegedly flew into the opening

to the inner earth situated at either the South

or the North Pole,

depending upon your source of information.

There, he encountered a race of intelligent beings

living in gleaming cities who told him

to go back to the surface and warn the human race

that we better smarten up or we'd destroy the planet.

This comes from what is claimed

to be the Admiral's secret diary,

though the document's authenticity

has largely been discredited.

Supporters of hollow earth theory

believe this claim of fakery is just part of the obfuscation

meant to hide the truth from the public.

Of course, if they're right and our governments

won't admit the earth is hollow,

they certainly aren't going to tell us anything

of significance or concern about the moon.

But where did this hollow moon idea come from anyway?

- It's really unclear if the moon is in fact hollow

or just has vast underground caverns.

In either case, it's certainly interesting to learn

that what might be below the surface of the moon.

In fact, there was science fiction books

that developed into a number of movies depicting our moon

as a home world for extraterrestrial beings.

- [Narrator] It was first noted by H.G. Wells

in his wonderful and insightful 1901 book,

"The First Men in The Moon".

To support the theory, one compelling piece of evidence

often cited is the experiences of Apollo missions

back in the late 60s,

after placing seismic sensors on the moon.

When Apollo 12 deliberately crashed the ascent stage

of its Luna module onto the moon's surface,

the sensors picked up a ringing,

sound like a bell for an hour afterwards.

And each time the action was repeated

on subsequent missions, the same happened.

Furthermore, the same sound was heard

when moonquakes occurred.

Now this doesn't happen on the Earth, so why the moon?

Unless it's hollow.

Though, the composition of the earth and moon are similar,

the moon has a much higher proportion of low density crust.

Because it is theorized the moon

through its originating impact,

is largely made up of ancient earth crust,

not high density core.

Therefore NASA has concluded that the difference in sound

between impacts or quakes on the earth and the moon

is related to their differences in texture,

rock type and density.

But if it is actually hollow, what's inside the moon?

One suggestion is that aliens are using it as a base.

We know that with our current technology,

it would take many thousands of years for us

to reach the closest star system.

In the next century or so we may be able to whittle it down

to a few hundred years,

but even traveling at the speed of light,

it's a journey of at least four years

to the next solar system.

We always assume alien civilizations who might visit

the Earth have found a way around this distance barrier.

Either by utilizing theoretical wormholes

or some other technological achievement

that we can barely imagine.

But what if they haven't?

What if it still takes hundreds or even thousands of years

for them to get here from wherever they come from?

If they are visiting the earth,

they may have come here in generational ships,

massive vessels, the size of cities, or even continents,

where the aliens would live out their lives

during a journey.

Maybe the aliens visiting us today are the descendants

of those who left their home world long ago.

And perhaps using such a ship,

an alien civilization has deposited colonies

on various star systems to observe primitive life

as it develops, which would be us by the way.

- I believe there are a number of unusual anomalies

throughout our solar system, be it on our moon,

on other moons, circulating planets,

and even the odd asteroid.

It does seem to be strange formations,

even the odd, unusual lights that have been seen.

As to having that information and its existence

of being ancient sites or not, we may never get.

We may never get that information

from authorities like NASA.

However, there are independent researchers out there

and astronomers, which are coming forward

and providing bits of information,

tantalizing bits of information and images

from independent labs and telescopes,

which are pointed to the heavens,

which are providing little bits of data on the internet,

which people see and say, okay,

there's something strange on that,

or there's something strange there.

Pressing this with NASA,

they don't tend to communicate very well and say, okay,

that we can explain this.

Most of the time it's unanswered.

Leaving to the conspiratists to believe what they want.

And at the end of the day, it's a toss of a coin.

Is it something unusual or is it not?

I've seen some of those images, I would say yes,

some of them are profoundly unusual.

Others there are probably are rational explanations for.

After all, there are probable things that are taking place

on in environmental level out there in space,

on these other moons, and asteroids

that we're currently unaware of.

And there's obviously,

there's a learning curve that's involved.

- [Narrator] And what better place to hide

such a colony than within a hollow moon?

Indeed a few NASA ex-employees claim to have seen

satellite photography of such bases on the moon.

The big question is, if there is a base on the far side,

is it ours or does it belong to an alien race?

If ours, then why don't we know about it?

Is there some credence in the secret space program theory?

Or if extraterrestrial,

we can only imagine the alien's irritation

when NASA astronauts started ringing their home

like a bell and running around on the surface.

Perhaps a warning not to return is true.

And to avoid hysteria, governments have hidden the truth

from the general population.

- In 2001, Sergeant Carl Wolfe gained fame

when he came forward with claims

that he'd seen photographic evidence of alien structures

on the far side of the moon when working in NASA.

Any further information that Carl Wolfe had

was pretty much lost over the years.

Well, unfortunately he was killed by a tractor

when he was struck right on whilst riding his motorcycle.

Wherever all the information there was, what Carl had,

unfortunately, would be lost with him.

- [Narrator] In the 1960s, NASA compiled

a list of strange sightings on the moon

as seen by reputable astronomers.

The report reveals hundreds of strange objects

moving on the surface with odd lights seen

in the dark of the moon,

and even clouds streaming across its exterior.

Are these suggestions of, for example,

a mining operation taking place?

- I don't think Carl Wolfe's death

was particularly mysterious.

I've read the reports, I've seen the newspaper cuttings.

I know about the incident.

It just seems to be one of those unfortunate incidents

that took place whilst he was riding his motorcycle

and collided with a tractor.

And of course it ended with him being killed.

There are obviously people out there

who are into conspiracy theorists, which will say,

yes, there's something more to it,

but I don't see enough evidence for that.

- [Narrator] For most of our history,

we have no way of getting there.

And even now, we pretty much leave it alone.

Plus one side of the moon is always facing away

from the Earth.

Who knows what could be going on beyond our prying eyes.

On the far side of the moon,

you might find very elaborate construction projects.

There could be even be buildings, highways,

and spaceships launching and descending,

and you would never see it

because you only see the side that faces the earth.

Having said that it would be fair to note

that none of the far side probes, satellites,

or even the recent Chinese Chang'e 4 lander

have spotted such things.

- One of the biggest questions that people ask is,

do you think the general public deserve to know the truth

should there be anomalies on our moon?

Well, for years I would say, yes, we need to know the truth,

that there is an extraterrestrial presence

or was extraterrestrial presence there.

I have to say now I'm not too sure

what those implications might be.

They could affect religion, economy,

a number of different things.

And what's the impact across Earth

when those things are affected?

There's a lot of things that are involved in this.

As a researcher, I would say, yes,

let's have the answers out,

let people want to all digest this possible truth.

But the academia side of me would say,

it's a little bit risky, who knows.

Hopefully we will have the truth delivered in time

when the general public,

which the authorities will feel are happy

and ready to accept that information.

- [Narrator] Another theory is that aliens

brought the moon here themselves

propelling it through space.

This is a relatively new theory and is based on observations

that the moon has been heavily bombarded by meteors

and asteroids on just one side.

This has been suggested indicates that that side

was facing the direction it was traveling

when entering into Earth's solar system,

having been struck by asteroids and space dust

during its journey.

The scientific response is that the near side of the moon

would through the gravitational influence of the earth

have remained softer for longer.

And so it was more prone to having large lava flows

after large impacts resulting

in a somewhat smoother surface.

But why would aliens have brought the moon here?

Three possible answers have been suggested.

First, it is simply an observation post.

Second, it is a message to us

because perhaps one of the oddest cosmological coincidences

is that the moon and the sun

from the perspective of the Earth

appear to be the same size.

That's because the moon is 1/400th the size of the sun

and is exactly 1/100th the distance

between the Earth and the sun.

This is what gives us solar eclipses,

where we can see this remarkable coincidence for ourselves.

It's suggested that the aliens placed it there

to stop us overestimating ourselves.

They would know that we'd eventually realize

that the size equivalence of the moon and sun

was simply a coincidence too far.

It would in effect, send us the message

that you are not alone

and you'd better develop some modesty.

However, this effect, the apparent equivalent sizes

of the moon and sun is only true at our present time.

The moon is actually moving away from the earth

at about one and a half inches per year,

about the same speed at which our fingernails grow.

Originally, it orbited only 14,000 miles away from the Earth

rather than the 250,000 miles as of present.

And the sun-moon size equivalence is just temporary.

And the third mooted answer as to why the aliens

brought and positioned the moon into earth orbit

is that it's actually the generational ship itself.

The spaceship moon theory is a stunning idea,

put forth by a pair of Soviet scientists back in the 1970s.

It says the moon is actually a creation of an alien race

who parked it in Earth's orbit thousand of years ago.

This idea is mainly supported by the depth

of the moon's impact craters.

Even the largest craters are fairly shallow,

suggesting that there may be some sort of impenetrable hull

beneath the surface moon rock.

And the relevance to all these suggestions,

it's interesting to note that some moon rocks

are much older than rocks on the earth.

Scientists say this is because the earth

is still geologically active and new rocks

are being formed even today through tectonic activity.

However, proponents of hollow moon theory suggests

that this difference in the age of rocks is further proof

that the moon was constructed elsewhere

and brought here by an alien race.

- There are a number of researchers

that believe our moon has been strategically placed

in Earth's orbit.

However, the evidence to support this theory is rather thin,

but not impossible.

- [Narrator] What about the moon

being a holographic projection?

- I've seen a number of videos of what is referred

to as lunar waves, suggesting that the moon

is some type of hologram.

To be honest, I'm not convinced.

One has to take the considerations,

the limitations of video cameras, article illusions,

and of course, heat shimmers.

- [Narrator] In 2013, YouTube user, Crow777

started posting videos that claimed to show

that the moon was merely a projection.

He filmed what he called lunar waves

that looked like ripples passing over the moon surface,

and says that they are power glitches

in the projection system.

One problem with this theory is that holography

was only developed in the 1940s

and the moon has been known about for thousands of years.

The rebuttal is the moon didn't even exist

until the 20th century,

and that all the ancient writings have been falsified

to lead us from the truth.

Although the facts do seem largely to contradict

these speculations, there is one question

that does need to be answered?

Why hasn't anyone been back there in the past 40 years?

We continue to study it and we send probes,

but nobody has actually set foot on the moon since 1972.

Why?

Some researchers believe that when our astronauts

were on the moon, alien races warned them not to return.

And it's true that after the enormous successes

of the 1960s,

it was thought that by now

there would be colonies on the moon.

So why are we ignoring it?

Is it really that boring?

Or is there something keeping us from going there?

Is it possible that our best researchers and astronomers

have been wrong about the moon for all these years,

including the astronauts who landed there?

Or worse, maybe the governments of the world

are hiding secrets about the moon.

- I haven't particularly worked

with whistle blowers myself personally.

It's very vague sometimes the information coming

from whistle blowers.

It's very difficult to check the credentials,

especially when they claim have been working

on special projects.

That physically may not have a paper trail.

How do we know what is the truth here?

How do we know we're being told the truth?

Though information is very interesting

and can lead to some findings,

it's always worth following the information

that whistle blowers provide.

However, I would always say, tread carefully in regards,

what is fact and what is fiction.

- [Narrator] So, is it a hollow sphere inhabited by aliens

from another solar system and keeping a watchful eye on us?

Is it a spaceship?

A generational craft that has traveled countless light years

to arrive at our doorstep thousands of years ago,

and has remained there ever since?

Is it a warning message?

Is it a holographic projection,

controlled by a cabal of interested governments

here on Earth?

The answer to all of these is probably not.

But the idea is intriguing,

and there is always the possibility

that the scientists are wrong.

The moon remains as it's always been,

a mysterious glowing orb in the night sky.

And no doubt, there are many mysteries still to be uncovered

should humans once again decide to travel there.

- Are extraterrestrials on the moon?

I don't know.

There seems to be plenty of UFOs around

which people have filmed, photographed,

astronomers, NASA, et cetera.

But is there an extraterrestrial civilization

living on the moon currently?

I would say the evidence would point to there was once.

As to now, I really don't know.

And if there are,

those don't seem to be certainly in sight

rather on the dark side of the moon

or the far side as said, or underneath.

That's very feasible.

However, are extraterrestrials there now?

I wouldn't like to put money on it and say, yes, they are.

But the evidence would point to is definitely UFOs

that have been filmed and photographed

during most of NASA's missions, not just near Earth,

but also lunar orbital.

- [Narrator] Is the Earth spherical?

Well, no, it's geoid.

Really which means earth form.

Because it's not a sphere

and because it's somewhat flattened at the poles,

we also have oceans, mountains, planes,

and other geographical features that give it a unique shape,

which is called a geoid.

But it turns out that there is certain data and some stories

that give us the idea of a hollow earth.

That is a land that is like a ball

that has air in the middle,

that is a shell of hundreds of kilometers thick,

but hollow in the center.

Here, we will tell one of the most amazing stories

about the hollow earth.

- The hollow earth was a concept proposing

that the planet Earth is entirely hollow

or contains a substantial interior space.

Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century.

However, the notion was first disproven in 1740

and again in 1774 by Charles Horton.

But was these conclusions accurate?

There are still many who believe the Earth

has a vast cavern system below our very feet.

On the surface, the Mammoth National Park

in central Kentucky encompasses around 80 square miles,

but underneath lies a twisted labyrinth of limestone caves

creating a network that earns the title,

the longest cave system in the world.

- [Narrator] Richard E. Byrd, pilot of the US Navy

flew over the poles,

both the Arctic and the Antarctic

with a small Fokker monoplane.

He flew over the Arctic passing through Greenland,

Kings Bay, now Ny-AÅlesund

and Spitsbergen, Svalbard, reaching the North Pole.

As for the South Pole, in 1928,

he set up a camp based on the Northern tip

of Roosevelt Island in the Ross Sea

with laboratories, workshops, warehouses,

a radio station, and a hospital.

This base was the Byrd camp, and his crew of 42 people

for 14 months.

- Roosevelt Island is in the northeastern part

of the Ross ice shelf.

The ice-covered island off the coast of Antarctic

is around about 90 miles long, and 35 miles wide

and was discovered in 1934 by Admiral Byrd himself.

It was in fact, a perfect location for all base camps.

- [Narrator] At last, on November, the 29th, 1929.

He flew over the South Pole.

This expedition and three others in 1934, 1939 and 1955

made Byrd, a well-known Explorer of Antarctica.

But here we are going to focus on something

that Byrd never spoke about in public.

About what happened to him on one of his trips to the poles,

what we know from third parties

that he found the entrance to the interior of the Earth.

- The entrance to the center of the Earth

sounds almost like a bad 1950 sci-fi movie,

but is there in fact, any truth to this?

Ariana and Agather as the legendary kingdoms

that is said to be located in the Earth's core.

Though many remain skeptical and rightly so,

could have Admiral Byrd's diary logs provide

a tantalizing truth so amazing it's difficult to believe.

- [Narrator] Here we have access to his flight log

about what happened on February the 19th, 1947.

This would be an unofficial expedition.

That's why it wasn't previously named.

From his blog, we can read the following.

I am not at Liberty to disclose the following documentation

in this writing.

It may never see the light of public scrutiny,

but I must do my duty and record here

so that everyone can read it someday.

We're going to avoid log entries that talk

about routine issues and we'll go directly to the substance.

So registration begins at 0600 hours, six in the morning.

0900 hours, last ice and snow below,

yellowish coloration of nature is observed

and dispersed in a linear pattern.

Altering the course to better examine

this color pattern below.

Reddish or purple is also observed.

Circulating this area in two full turns,

returning to the direction assigned by the compass.

Checking position again with the base camp

and transmitting information about colorations

in the ice and the snow below.

0910 hours, both magnetic and gyro compasses

beginning to gyrate and wobble.

We're unable to hold our heading by instrumentation.

Take bearing with sun compass yet all seems well.

The controls are seemingly slow to respond

and have sluggish quality,

but there's no indication of icing.

0915 hours, in the distance is what appears to be mountains.

It's no illusion.

There are mountains consisting of a small range

that I've never seen before.

0955 hours, altitude changed to 2,950 feet.

Encountering strong turbulence again.

1000 hours, we are crossing over a small mountain range

and still proceeding northwards

as best as can be ascertained.

Beyond the mountain range is what appears to be a valley

with a small river or stream

running through the center portion.

There should be no green valley below.

Something is definitely wrong and abnormal here.

We should be over ice and snow.

To the port side are great forests

growing on the mountain slopes.

Our navigation instruments are still spinning.

The gyroscope is oscillating back and forth.

1005 hours, I alter altitude to 1400 feet

and execute a sharp left turn

to better examine the valley below.

It is green with either moss or a type of tight-knit grass.

The light here seems different.

I cannot see the sun anymore.

We make another left turn and we spot

what seems to be a large animal of some kind below us.

It appears to be an elephant.

No, it looks more like a mammoth.

This is incredible, yet there it is.

Decrease altitude to 1,000 feet

and take binoculars to better examine the animal.

It is confirmed.

It is definitely a mammoth-like animal.

- It's not the first time people

have reported strange animals.

Occasionally, reports do come in

of people sighting dinosaurs, and other extinct animals.

Usually it's locations where humans are pretty scarce.

If we take for an example, the wooly mammoth,

well, they were once thought to be legendary creatures.

They weren't even identity fired as extinct species

until around about 1790s, I believe.

Could it be that Admiral Byrd witnessed

some sort of aberration or experienced something

more profound like a portal or doorway to another reality?

- [Narrator] Report this to base camp.

1030 hours, encountering more rolling green hills now.

The external temperature indicator

reads 74 degrees Fahrenheit.

Continuing on our heading now.

Navigation instruments seem normal now.

I'm puzzled over their actions.

Attempt to contact base camp. Radio is not functioning.

1130 hours, countryside below is more level and normal.

If I may use that word.

Ahead we spot what seems to be a city.

This is impossible.

Aircraft seem light and oddly buoyant.

The controls refuse to respond.

My God, of our port and starboard wings

are strange type of aircraft.

They're closing rapidly alongside.

They're disc shaped and have a radiant quality to them.

They're close enough now to see the markings on them.

It's a type of swastika.

This is fantastic.

Where are we? What has happened?

I tug at the controls again. They will not respond.

We are caught in an invisible vice grip of some type.

1135 hours, our radio crackles

and a voice comes through in English with what perhaps

is a slight Nordic or Germanic accent.

The message is, welcome Admiral to our domain.

We shall land you in exactly seven minutes.

Relax, Admiral. You are in good hands.

I note the engines of our planes have stopped running,

but the aircraft is under some strange control

and is now turning itself.

The controls are useless.

1140 hours, another radio message received.

We begin the landing process now and in moments,

the plane shudders slightly and begins a descent

as though caught in some great unseen elevator.

The downward motion is negligible

and we touch down only with a slight jolt.

1145 hours, I'm making a hasty last entry in the flight log.

Several men are approaching on foot toward our aircraft.

They're tall with blond hair.

In the distance is a large shimmering city

pulsating with rainbow hues of color.

I do not know what is gonna happen now,

but I see no signs of weapons on those approaching.

I hear now a voice ordering by name to open the cargo door.

I comply.

End of log.

- Some of these caverns can be huge.

Of course we don't believe we probably discovered

all these caverns which might be on planet Earth.

We do know that vast systems like this do probably exist

throughout the solar system.

There's even rumors that there are vast cavern systems

or some type of hollow area on our moon.

So not only do we discuss the topics of hollow earth here,

but also discussing the topics of the hollow moon.

Yes, it's feasible.

Things could exist like that.

And yes, there is probably room for a civilization

to actually live under the ground.

After all, ancient civilizations around planet Earth

have lived under the ground in periods of time, in our past.

And they are visible by cave systems

that go deep into the planet.

And must have taken hundreds of years to construct.

It's amazing what people can actually do,

but is there a civilization hidden away in Antarctica?

That's the biggest question that we face here

and I don't really know for sure if that could exist or not.

If so, then it's something

that has really been well kept secret.

Maybe that we'll learn more as years past

or excavations and explore science missions

go across Antarctica, and we do get that information.

One thing is for sure,

that are many people are coming forward today,

utilizing Google Earth as a piece of software

to identify locations of interest across Antarctica.

And it is a subject which is very well much

in the limelight at the moment,

especially regarding whistle blowers,

which are coming forward and saying that they were part

of a military operation and involved with locating

an underground facilities throughout Antarctica

that clearly are not our own.

If that is the case, then we have to really start thinking,

could there be some truth to these incidents?

And was Admiral Byrd's diary logs

actually real events that which unfolded,

which he made logs of?

It's very difficult to know.

One thing is for sure, there's this huge amount of secrecy

surrounding Admiral Byrd's diary logs, where are they?

And what was really written in them?

It's really difficult to work out

what's true and what's not here.

But one thing is for sure,

we have a huge mystery on our hand.

- [Narrator] Then the Admiral describes from memory,

the following events,

because he could not register in his log moment by moment

as he did up to this point.

What follows is his conversation with whoever captured him.

Byrd and Howie, his radio operator, get off their plane,

escorted by their hosts on a kind of flying platform

without wheels and take them to a large room in a building,

that's according to his words,

he'd never seen before in his life.

In this room, they're invited to have a drink,

a delicious drink, but not recognized by neither.

Suddenly a door opens silently

and Byrd is invited to go and talk with the great master.

On this door, he could see some inscriptions

that he couldn't read.

This great master is an old man, but with delicate features.

And he asked the Admiral not to be afraid,

that he needed to talk to him.

The master told Byrd that he had been allowed access

for being a goodhearted man

and well known in the surface world.

This surprised the Admiral

and the teacher continued speaking.

You are in the domain of the Ariani,

the inner world of Earth.

We shall not long delay your mission,

and you will be safely escorted back to the surface

and for a distance beyond.

But now, Admiral,

I shall tell you why you have been summoned here.

Our interest rightly begins just after your race exploded

the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.

It was that that alarming time we sent our flying machines,

the fluügelrads 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.

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.

Your race has now reached the point of no return

for there are those amongst you

who would destroy your very world

rather than relinquish their power as they know it.

- Antarctica has been a mysterious place for a long time

with people claiming that they've seen all sorts

of strange things from there.

There was in the 1970s and to the 1980s,

people who reported seeing

a very large black hole over Antarctica.

There was in one, in fact,

one satellite photograph that circulated the internet.

However, it turned out that it was actually part

of the actual photographic process

and the arm of the photographic telescope,

which caused this round hole to appear

in the middle of the Antarctic.

That was pretty much realized very quickly.

However, it didn't stop people coming forward

with conspiracy theories, that there was a massive cover up.

There was a huge hole in the Antarctica where objects,

flying discs and things would enter in and come out of.

And of course, the governments of the world

were keeping that very hush hush.

Truth of the matter is,

there are some strange, unusual holes in an Antarctica,

cavern systems, caves.

Could they be a place which are entrances to another world?

Who really knows.

It seems that Antarctica is well off the map

for being a location where you can visit.

It seems very difficult to find out any information

about Antarctica these days,

even though in the 21st century,

we all have access to computer and software systems,

which might be able to utilize satellites to find locations.

There are still areas completely blacked out.

We have to question, why is that?

- [Narrator] In 1945 and afterwards,

we tried to contact your race,

but our efforts were met with hostility.

Our fluügelrads 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'll 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 leveled in vast chaos.

Your recent war was only a prelude

of what is yet to come for your race.

We here see it more clearly with each hour.

Do you say I'm mistaken?

Byrd replied that no, he knew that the Earth

had passed through a dark age previously.

The teacher continued with his monologue

about the end of the earth,

environmental pollution and so on,

which are the factors that will take us

to the next dark age,

which will come to Earth and asked Byrd

to spread his message to future generations.

- It's not a real surprise to find

that people believe in ancient hidden cities

around the world.

We've already discovered ancient cities before.

We still know that there are some ancient cities,

which haven't been found yet, which we believe exist,

such as Velocity of the Amazon.

There are many places like this,

which researchers and scientists still continue

to try and find.

However, it does prove that yes,

we can hide such a thing like this in plain sight

in some cases.

What happens if something is underground?

Well, that's literally not going to be found at all,

especially in a region known as Antarctica

where prying eyes don't get chance to see

what's actually there.

It is a complete lockdown location.

And I think that only people that go in and out

is military and science expeditions.

- [Narrator] Many of us living an experience like Byrd's

would go out into the world and tell our story

without thinking that many people would think

that we are crazy.

Instead, Byrd hid the message, keeping it to himself.

Why did he do this?

Well, simply because when he told

the high commanders of the Pentagon.

They ordered him to be silent.

Even the president of the United States,

Harry S. Truman was duly informed too.

The Admiral being a soldier, kept silent,

accepting the orders of silence in the name of humanity.

What?

Was Admiral Richard Byrd a visitor to the hollow earth?

Did the Ariani, the inhabitants of the hollow earth

allow him entry?

Does this mean that the inhabitants of the hollow earth

can open doors or gateways to their domains?

If we have to be partial,

there are certain sources that say that his diary

does not exist.

And that it is from the writer, F. Amodeo Gianni

published in 1957.

His book is called "The World Beyond the Poles"

where he tells the story of Admiral Byrd,

and that this story comes to light.

There are in addition to this document,

many sources that cite the hollow earth

from the city of Urks in Argentina

to the cave of Los Taios in Ecuador.

Not only would there be entrance to an underground world,

but also a kind of entrance hall to the hollow earth itself.

- In ancient times, the concept of a subterranean land

inside the earth appeared in mythology,

folklore, and legends.

The idea of a subterranean realm became intertwined

with the concepts of places and origin of even after life,

such as the Greek underworld.

Even the Tibet Buddhists believe that there is in fact,

an ancient city called Shambala,

which is located inside the earth.

- [Narrator] If we believe in the admiral's diary,

the Ariani have been sending their UFOs

called fluügelrads for years.

They would bring their message of peace

so that we take care of our planet,

but then man attacks the UFOs,

preventing them from delivering the message.

- So is there any new evidence

to support Admiral Byrd's claims?

It's been a long time since Admiral Byrd

visited Antarctica as you can well imagine.

Well, there are whistle blowers that have come forward

as I've previously mentioned,

who talk about coming across certain facilities

that look to be advanced technology,

look to be like they may have not been created by us.

If that is the case, then that lends even new theories

and new ideas about what is really going on in Antarctica.

There is even speculation that numerous officials,

presidents, and astronomers and scientists

had a gathering at Antarctica not too long ago.

If that is true, then we have to ask the questions why?

Was there some mass discovery that needed their input?

It's interesting to know that there seems

to be evidence to support that,

that these people were around the Antarctic location

at that given time.

Why astronauts, why scientists, why presidents?

It would suggest that something of major

was discovered in Antarctica.

And if that is the case,

then could it have been this lost city?

The lost city that Admiral Byrd claimed to have witnessed.

- [Narrator] Recall the case of the battle of Los Angeles?

A UFO of gigantic dimensions on February the 25th, 1942

flew over Los Angeles generating alarm

since the United States had entered World War II,

less than three months earlier.

Was it a fluügelrad sent by the Ariani

to try to stop the Second World War

and that it wanted to communicate

with the high commanders of the United States?

If so, obviously the dialogues between the Ariani

and the humans ended before we started.

Maybe because of this,

we can never get in touch with the other inhabitants

of our world.
