1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 Zip up, we're going to the Antarctic. Well, maybe not today, because there's actually very few regions we're allowed to visit. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Yes, sadly, most of the continent is reserved for scientists only. And penguins. 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000 So instead, we'll have to take a look from home. More specifically, a look at the mysterious UFO cases that have been reported there. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:31,000 And not just rumours either. We'll be looking at some enthralling evidence which suggests there may have been alien life in the Antarctic. 5 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:42,000 It's a rare occurrence, but sometimes a story that seems long dead may have new life breathed into it in the face of fresh and incontrovertible evidence. 6 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Of course, the entire saga about extraterrestrials in Antarctica is well known. 7 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Or is it? Because as recently as 2018 and 2019, these extraordinary finds have come to light. 8 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Anomalies that eminent traditional scientists cannot explain. New, indisputable physical evidence. Radar and satellite images that cannot be dismissed. 9 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:20,000 And most powerful of all, fresh eyewitness accounts from US Antarctic military personnel, since retired and no longer fearful of being hounded out of their jobs for simply telling the truth. 10 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,000 Most people are familiar with the background to this case. In particular, stories of Admiral Byrd's exploits in Antarctica. 11 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:42,000 Briefly, in 1946, Admiral Richard Byrd, a highly esteemed naval officer, led a massive US scientific expedition called Operation High Jump to the South Pole. 12 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Accompanying him were 13 ships, 33 aircraft and 4,700 troops. 13 00:01:49,000 --> 00:02:01,000 After nine arduous months, he returned to the US with stories of battles they'd fought against the remnants of the German military and possibly against extraterrestrials. 14 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000 In fairness, he didn't actually call them extraterrestrials. He described them as humans, but having a higher consciousness. 15 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:24,000 There were reports of craft coming up out of the water and attacking Byrd's forces, and that some of these unidentified flying objects could travel almost instantaneously across the globe, usually from pole to pole. 16 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 And after that, the story pretty well dried up. 17 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:46,000 That is until 2018, more than 70 years after Byrd's astonishing claims, when a satellite image spotted a contrail, the condensed water trail from an aeroplane that could only have been produced by a craft travelling from Antarctica northwards at an incredible speed. 18 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000 The contrail measured 12,000 miles and stretched all the way without a break from pole to pole. 19 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000 The remarkable thing is that the complete trail could be seen. 20 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Normally, contrails only retained their shapes for up to 30 minutes. 21 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:10,000 That means the craft, whatever it was, must have been travelling at about 50,000 miles an hour to create this single contrail. 22 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:22,000 And our fastest known manned aircraft is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, which flies at just over 2,000 miles per hour, just 4% of this UFO speed. 23 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Well, perhaps it was just an anomaly on the satellite image. 24 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 No, it was real. 25 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000 The unique contrail had been seen and extensively photographed from the ground along its entire route. 26 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000 And aircraft experts, normally reluctant to talk about UFOs and the like, admitted to being completely baffled. 27 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000 They could find no, quote, conventional explanation. 28 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Another case of intriguing satellite observations came to light in 2016. 29 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000 An independent researcher was looking through some satellite photography of Antarctica. 30 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000 He found what appears to be a man-made entrance carved into the side of a mountain range. 31 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Could it have been created to let craft, alien or alien-inspired, dive under the ice to hidden caverns deep below the surface? 32 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:24,000 And almost in answer to this, in 2017, scientists from the Australian National University did indeed find vast ice caverns close to Mount Erebus on Ross Island. 33 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 And the weird thing about them? 34 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,000 These glacial caves were inexplicably warm, over 70 degrees Fahrenheit or 22 degrees centigrade. 35 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Perfect for life. 36 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000 And they were huge. 37 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,980 One of these caverns is as large as the entire island of Manhattan. 38 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000 There's been rumours of UFO activity in Antarctica since the 1940s. 39 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:55,000 People have often talked about secret underground bases, German facilities from the Second World War and even vast entrances to the inner earth. 40 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 But what truth lies behind these rumours? 41 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Over the years, reports coming out from the location suggest there are certainly some strange things that have been seen and found that we just simply cannot explain. 42 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Heated caverns and enormous passageways deep under the ice sheets. 43 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000 These are exactly what Bird and his team claim to have discovered. 44 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000 And now they've been unequivocally discovered and mapped. 45 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,000 And there's an anomaly discovered as recently as 2018 that has traditional scientists completely baffled. 46 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Professor Michio Kaku is one of the world's most renowned theoretical physicists. 47 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,000 As a traditionalist, he's definitely not known for advocating paranormal or alternative views. 48 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000 But even he is totally mystified by cosmic rays that have been detected emanating from the South Pole. 49 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:59,000 They were discovered in 2018 by NASA scientists working on the Antarctic impulsive transient antenna known as ANITA when studying the volcanic landmass that makes up Ross Island. 50 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Kaku said, 51 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:09,000 There were shock waves throughout the scientific community when we realized that a strange and completely new type of radiation was coming from the South Pole. 52 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 It defies the known laws of physics. 53 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000 What's generating these cosmic rays? 54 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000 Or should that be who? 55 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:27,000 On this, our journey of looking at new evidence, what would happen if a UFO crash-landed at a shallow angle on a sheet of thick ice? 56 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Debris? 57 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Quite possibly. 58 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000 But skid marks, certainly as it slid and gouged its way to a halt. 59 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000 And it appears that a crashed UFO leaving skid marks has, indeed, been discovered by researchers studying satellite images. 60 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Covered in snow and shards of ice, a tubular-shaped object, about 50 yards in length, has been spotted on the Antarctic island of South Georgia. 61 00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:00,000 In October 2017, a celestial object called Umoramora was spotted entering our solar system. 62 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000 Thinking it was an asteroid, Dr. Avi Loeb, chair of Harvard's astronomy department, tracked it plummeting towards the South Pole. 63 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,000 However, having seen these photographs, he's since changed his mind. 64 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 It's not an asteroid, he explained. 65 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Its shape, trajectory and acceleration suggest that it could indeed be alien, possibly a probe. 66 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:32,000 He pointed to a wider shot, which shows that the UFO may have ricocheted off the base of a nearby mountain and skidded at a shallow angle across the ice plain surrounding it. 67 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000 The skid marks can clearly be seen. 68 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:46,000 For some reason, the location has been declared out of bounds, but researchers are hoping that one day they'll be allowed to travel there to investigate this deeply puzzling anomaly. 69 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaking with highly respected investigative journalist Linda Moulton-Howe, former Navy flight engineer Brian, told of his time on Ross Island at the US Mercurdo Station. 70 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Mercurdo was the main logistics hub responsible for servicing all the science outposts near the South Pole. 71 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:14,000 During his interview, Brian asked if he could talk about a very curious no-fly zone that led his unit to disobey direct orders. 72 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:24,000 In October 1985, an emergency call had come into Mercurdo dispatch from the Australian Camp Davis on the far side of eastern Antarctica. 73 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:34,000 The Davis communications officer informed them that one of their scientists had been gravely injured by a boiler explosion and needed urgent medical attention. 74 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000 His condition was critical. 75 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 At McMurdo, an immediate medevac was called. 76 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000 There wasn't a moment to spare, including a fuel stop. 77 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Davis Camp was a full six hours away from McMurdo. 78 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Or six and a half if they obeyed orders to deviate round a so-called air sampling station, which lay on the direct route. 79 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Deeply concerned about the wounded scientists, the officers on board decided that they had no choice but to disobey orders and fly directly to the camp, even though that meant passing through the no-fly zone. 80 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:13,000 To everyone's astonishment as they flew over the location, there was no sign of an air sampling station. 81 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Instead, there was a huge circular indentation, as wide as a football field, with what appeared to be a ramp leading downwards into it. 82 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000 Nobody said anything. 83 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000 They all knew that natural holes simply don't exist on the South Pole's polar plateau. 84 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000 In recent years, stories have emerged about the discovery of what can only be described as an ancient extraterrestrial underground base. 85 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000 A huge complex that was discovered by SAS soldiers during secret operations. 86 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Vast underground bases could easily go undetected if it weren't for military forces scouting out regions of the ice and rocky outcrops. 87 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000 However, the truth behind these is still a massive unknown. 88 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Later, after they'd picked up the injured scientists, they received a call from McMurdo Station. 89 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000 The most senior ranking officer spoke, 90 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 You must not follow the course that you took before. 91 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000 You must deviate as in your orders. 92 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Bryan said that they were given no explanation. 93 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000 Time was critical, but seemingly secrecy was more so. 94 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,000 They obeyed, but sadly, the scientists died from his burns just before they landed at McMurdo. 95 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000 And on landing, the entire crew was escorted to the senior commander's office. 96 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000 There, they were ordered never to tell anyone what they'd seen when flying over the restricted area. 97 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Could this hole be one of the conjectured artificial entrances to the habitable underground caverns that are known to exist under the ice? 98 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:50,000 A retired Navy SEAL, who goes by the name Spartan One, held the rank of First Lieutenant Commander, Naval Special Operations. 99 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:58,000 The Navy SEALs claim lineage to the OSS, the Office of Strategic Services, a predecessor of the CIA. 100 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:06,000 And in August 2003, he and his men were ordered on a secret reconnaissance mission to the southeast coast of Antarctica. 101 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,000 There, they were to find a particular individual, extract information from him, and report back. 102 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:21,000 But when Spartan One and his team reached their destination, they found, not a person, but a large octagonal structure poking from the ice. 103 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:29,000 It stood about 18 feet tall, though, as they found out on entering the structure, it extended deep into the ice. 104 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000 To enter, they pushed against a huge metal door. 105 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000 And as it opened, they saw how huge it really was. 106 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Over 20 feet thick, but just a finger touch was enough to make it move. 107 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Inside was a huge cavern with plain walls and more doors. 108 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Some of them were 30 feet thick, but just as easy to open. 109 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,000 The space was illuminated with a gentle lime green light, but no one could find its source. 110 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000 They noticed how warm it was inside, around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 111 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Outside, it was at least 40 degrees below zero. 112 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Where was the heat coming from? 113 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000 But what really took their attention were the strange hieroglyphics adorning the walls? 114 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,000 One of the team was interested in such things and said that he'd never seen any hieroglyphics like them. 115 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 What on earth were they doing there? 116 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,000 No designer of military or scientific bases would ever incorporate mysterious hieroglyphs. 117 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:35,000 The story of Antarctica and possible alien residents went cold many years ago, but no longer. 118 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:44,000 These satellite images and physical anomalies, inexplicable radiation, vast entrances and skid marks cannot simply be dismissed. 119 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:54,000 And coupled with the retired military whistleblowers' experiences, there's no doubt that Antarctica is once again revealing even more about the frozen continent. 120 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000 So, did aliens ever visit Antarctica? Are they there right now? 121 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000 The answers might be buried under heaps of snow. 122 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000 It remains a mystery, but hopefully one day, as the snow and ice melts away, the truth will come to light. 123 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Thanks so much for watching folks. 124 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:16,000 If you thought this video was cool and would like to see more exciting mysteries, then please don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe. 125 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Thank you. 126 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Thank you.
