Aliens in Antarctica

Many Earthlings remain unconvinced that extraterrestrial lifeforms are visiting our planet. Their skepticism mostly comes from a lack of concrete proof available to the public. Most Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) evidence is only anecdotal. Sometimes, the objects in video and photographic evidence are determined to be unidentifiable; those same videos and photographs, though, seen through a different lens, often can be identified as something explainable and of this world.

So, where are all the aliens hiding? Among the different theories is the frozen landscape of Antarctica, a place where most humans tend to avoid. The Antarctic has been of interest to ufologists for decades. However, with the availability to the public of satellite footage over the past twenty years, inquisitive people have searched the snow and ice of the South Pole for signs of alien life and habitation. Often, they are not disappointed. The results of a simple internet search will show many aerial-view photos and snapshots. Some of them are explainable, while others are not.

The links between Antarctica and aliens have been circulating for decades. For example, in 1938, the German ship Schwabenland set sail from Hamburg for Antarctica. It made its voyage to the ice pack and remained there for approximately 30 days before leaving. This sparked interest from people of various beliefs and specialties. Some believe that the Nazis set up an underground base there, and at that base they interacted with aliens in an effort to build superior, decisive technology to defeat their martial enemies. Many of those people believe that the Nazis maintain the hidden base to this very day.

After World War II, in 1946, Admiral Charles Byrd led the United States’ expedition to Antarctica that consisted of at least fifteen ships, multiple aircraft and helicopters, and more than 4700 servicemen. The expedition was called Operation Highjump. UFO theorists have posited that Highjump was a US military operation to locate the hidden Nazi base and to seize it. From there, the US would gain access to the alien-inspired technology that Germany had already developed under the ice. 

Since the events of the 1930s and 1940s, other extraterrestrial happenings have allegedly occurred in Antarctica. There is no shortage of findings and evidence that proves to believers in Earth-visiting aliens that they are here, and that they occupy the regions surrounding the South Pole. Non-believers may not find that evidence so convincing. Regardless of one’s view, the fact remains that much of Antarctica remains unexplored. As such, is it really a leap of faith to open one’s mind to the possibility that something might, in fact, be there that we have yet to discover, and that the “something” might not be of terrestrial origin?
