Ultimate Field Guide 82 Extraterrestrial Species Iceberg Explained Alleged Alien Races

In the story of the abduction and encounters with alien beings or humanoids in the history of ufology, there are, as reported by the various reports of the various police and military who are interested in the subject, lists of different types of beings who should represent various civilizations do not belong to the human, who were either vengoino still in touch with people on our planet.

The list presented below does not represent the true variety of aliens existing but only what has been reported in the documents open to the public, so do not give too high a truth to what we present here, but I'll post for the record, just to the fact that the only alien entities of which we are more or less safe, belong only to three species or the alien gray, aliens and high energy blond who have a different origin in order to be absolutely certain.

In the course of past ages, the stories that we read tell us that not all beings from other worlds have the same intentions or inclinations towards our race, but often proved to be too negative to safety, that the respect for life of mankind, even if so far they never had attitudes conquerors because if a race like them should want the planet, it would have already taken without problems, since the scientific divide that distances us: even among them there are conflicts, just like it does for our civilization, some are totally indifferent to us, and if we only dare to approach them might decide that our life has no longer any reason to continue.
But we begin to make the necessary distinctions between their hypothetical races:

Genetically modified human: many stories of abductees confirm their existence, as evidenced by the analysis of the hair of these subjects, as was the case in 1998 where they were put in question the exhibits consist of hair fall by alien beings who put into action against kidnapping of a certain Peter Khoury, showing an abnormal DNA that had been built to allow for greater resistance to bacteria and viruses and diseases, highlighting the existence of pairs of DNA Sino-Mongoloid and even Basque-Gaelic quest ' last to the root of the hair in question.

In subsequent studies we come to assert that only through genetic manipulation, and not merely the sexual pair, you could generate these genetic abnormalities, confirming the version of the adduct, who agreed to undergo regressive hypnosis.

Gray also called EBE (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities from) their descriptions have now reached a level of accuracy that would dwarf a policeman, being the type that occurs most often during close encounters, it also says they come from a gaming solar three light years from us, with a central star and the smallest of our nine planets, with three of them inhabited.

This humanoid race has an aspect that seems gentle and quiet but on many occasions have proven to be not very "good" against kidnapped, using often cruel medical forms, showing total disregard for their "guinea pigs": they an average height of five feet-four feet, skull coin very large compared to the body and very big eyes, no lips and eyebrows, the nose is not very pronounced and do not have ears.

The arms are longer than the legs, have four fingers long and slender, small feet, narrow, have no hair on any part of the body, and the skin is gray (hence the reputation) pale because of silicon on which based their life, smooth and delicate.
They have a DNA which is based, as I said before, the silicon but also of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon, where the human being has the phosphorus instead of silicon.

The Greys communicate telepathically, they have an intelligence far superior to ours, even compared to our scientists, their civilization and their technological level are very high compared to ours, which can also distort space and time at will, and do things like go through solid objects and travel at speeds much higher than those of light (actually circumvent the speed of light deforming space).
Their structure silica-based allows it to connect directly with their instruments and flight of study and this means that their maneuvers to reach the reaction rate is not comparable to that of a man too well trained.

The main purpose of the Greys has found new colonies where it is possible for intelligent life in the universe, driving the evolution of animals humanoids created ad hoc from them because then they cross at the DNA level to give birth to a new species that can live in mixed on this planet, replacing the current civilization: there are other variations of this alien species as they change in relation to the living conditions of the planets where they land.

The Mantis, someone asserts that there can be no intelligent alien species with insectoid form comparable to mantids, but I can not understand that if the conditions of existence here on earth had been different, maybe they could develop even here the civilization resembling insects or other species.

Are supposed to be instead, a different version but still relevant to only gray and high thread-like appearance, perhaps with mental distortions convince abductees to have another form, you are not quite sure, however, are not at all friendly or good with humans .

Reptiloid: there is no reliable evidence clear about this other species, but it seems to be a warrior race around three meters high, more or less, which is expected to come from the constellation Draco, with scaly skin, eyes oval yellow -green with a star pupil.

They want to conquer the land and would be interested in joining collide with each other humans to make sure that you eliminate yourself: there are assumptions that say that this breed and grays act agree to abduct humans to be used for various experiments or even (in the case of reptilian) for food, and for this purpose would close pacts with some levels of government both U.S. and Russian.

The Nordics: would be derived from mental distortions and hypnotic techniques implemented by other alien species to reassure kidnapped during exams.

The Blue: would a warrior race but would have tried to warn the U.S. government not to deal with the Grays but without any positive results.

Would a human shape, a pointed chin, thin lips, dark skin and translucent, almond-shaped eyes, perhaps from the Star Sirius or Rigel.

Race unspecified, in human form, which comes from the Pleiades, the planets are called by their Ummo and Altair 4 and 5.

Multidimensional beings do not have a physical body but are made up of pure energy, with a consciousness of itself, is supposed to come from other dimensions and that sometimes assumanbo human form, often mistaken for ghosts present themselves as a very advanced form of the soul .

Scientists aliens: there is an alien species that studies both the human and the species that inhabit this planet, with particular interest in the development of space and military projects that generate, as if they were afraid that the man could become dangerous for other species of alien space.

There are also cases that are not directly with the various alien races intelligent but that could be useful to appoint more for the record:

The creature Salinas
This is the documented case of a creature of 30 cm with a very large skull that was found dead in a hill behind Camp Santiago (Salinas, Puerto Rico), having a large head relative to the body, almond-shaped eyes large and hollow, a small nose with two nostrils, mouth without lips, orifices in place of ears, long arms, shiny skin and greenish color.

Beings of Chihuahua
Were recently discovered two skulls belonged to a woman and a child Amerindian not human, that from the research turn out to be what remains of two skeletons unearthed about 65 years ago in a cave located south of Chihuahua, the state of Chihauhau (Mexico). The skeletons were scattered by a storm that flooded their tomb, thus marking the skulls, which were found by locals and then ended up in the hands of the researcher Lloyd Pye. The skull of the child is not human, has the channels of the optic nerve completely different from those of humans, has not the paranasal sinus, has the shape of the skull enlarged and flattened, has not the temples, has the hole under the skull moved forward in so that the head abnormal can find the center of balance on the neck.
Studies appears to be a humanoid creature not of this earth or a hybrid alien who has been renamed as "Starchild".

The fair beings absurd
In the Black Sea about twenty meters underground in the cave of Movile, there is an ecosystem of small monsters that live in the darkness of an environment saturated with hydrogen sulfide. There are at least 33 and other unknown forms of life evolved in an unusual way (ecosystem Movile). Could result from contamination by alien organisms.

The Rods
They usually live in caves or cavities often, even though they often come out and fly around the people close to their caves, however, their presence has been documented in areas where there were caves or cavities, or even have been filmed in shares high even outside the Earth's stratosphere while moving at incredible speeds.

The Rods have long bodies presumably thin cylindrical with the sides of the membranes that appear to the species of legs, the number of which depends on the size of the Rods, with a length of about sixteen centimeters: they appear in color apparently bright white and the undulating movement of the fast lateral membrane allows it to fly fast.

The shooting of Rods show no doubt that they are intelligent beings, we also managed to catch them as they flew at high speed with quick changes in direction to avoid human beings on their path such as is seen in the footage made at Sima de las Golondrinas (Mexico). They fly so fast that just slowing down the images of movies you can see them.

Despite the amount of photos and videos on their existing science still refuses to acknowledge their existence, even though they are totally different from any other form of life that exists on our planet.

They discover an extraterrestrial base in the shape of an iceberg near the Antarctica coast. The discovery is disconcerting: personnel from a US NASA laboratory in Antarctica find an unknown object on the ice. When they try to examine it while still frozen, it thaws despite the low temperatures. It is a capsule of extraterrestrial origin and begins to transmit signals. Under Washington’s instructions, a code specialist and ufologist fly to the South Pole, where he is able to successfully decipher the mysterious signal. But even so, no one is able to stop the impending catastrophe. Scientists decide to open the capsule, releasing the extraterrestrial content and infecting the computer. For the United States government, its worst fears are confirmed: the presence of extraterrestrial beings alone is a mortal threat to humanity.

In this case, the above story is about the plot of a science fiction movie. The film in question is “Alien Hunter,” a telefilm directed by Ron Krauss in 2003. However, what is really interesting is that Hollywood seems to have direct contact with the intelligence services of the United States, as there is actually great Amount of UFO activity in Antarctica. Now, ufologists have discovered what appears to be a giant alien base hidden in the ice of the Antarctic coast.

Hidden extraterrestrial bases in Antarctica

UFO researchers have discovered what appears to be a huge object 500 meters long on the coast of Antarctica . Some have claimed that it is a mysterious alien ship or base hidden in the ice. The object was discovered through Google Maps and appears to show a large mass of ice very different from the others. The object can be in Google Maps using the following coordinates: 72 ° 43’13.53 “S 78 ° 40’21.56” W ( you can see it clicking here). For conspiracy theorists there is no doubt, the object is actually a large extraterrestrial base hidden in the ice.

“I’m not an expert on icebergs, but this object is very peculiar and looks like a container disguised as iceberg,” wrote the UFO Sightings Hotspot blog editor. “It seems out of place.” For most people Antarctica is a barren terrain of ice and snow found in the lower part of the globe. But conspiracy theorists believe that it is the ideal place to house extraterrestrial bases , acting as a perfect refuge due to the lack of human settlers by the extreme conditions. But apart from this, there are many evidences that seem to show how UFOs are hidden inside the caves of Antarctica.

But this new discovery has caught the attention of conspiracy theorists and ufologists, especially by the strange form of the object. It is true that icebergs have multiple shapes and sizes. But experts say that this iceberg does not fit into any of the most common categories. Icebergs can be classified according to their shape. The two basic types of forms are tabular and non-tabular.

Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top, like a plateau, and do not have different shapes. And the truth is that the shape of this iceberg is very different if we compare it with all the different forms of tabular and non-tabular icebergs.

However, skeptics do not share the idea that the iceberg is an occult extraterrestrial base. They all consider that ignorance makes it impossible to know the shapes of icebergs and that Google Maps images simply show a huge chunk of ice off the Antarctic coast. Unfortunately, we only have the satellite images to give an opinion, so as always, you decide. Is the strange iceberg an alien base hidden on the Antarctic coast? Or is it simply an iceberg with a strange shape?

Extraterrestrials in Antarctica: the continent forbidden to humans. When you look at the snowy majesty of a mountain, the eternal ice of Antarctica is evoked, this is a place of deep mysteries.(Extraterrestrials in Antarctica)

It is said that there are pyramids, great entrances in the recesses of its summits, the discovery of ooparts and extraterrestrial ships that once clashed there.

All this was seen in the photographs of Google Earth, and now, censored by a white circle, to the looks of those who want to find out their secrets. But also, what is hidden, behind the walls of ice, there may be the strangest landscapes.

Thus, the Antarctic continent has an almost circular shape, from which the Antarctic Peninsula stands out in a south-north direction. With an area of ​​around 14 million km2; of this, less than 1% is free of ice. It is the coldest, driest and windiest continent.

This is the format that you will find in the official pages dealing with Antarctica, since the end of World War II. And even when it is a desolate desert of ice, somewhere, there are hidden angels that do not correspond to the icy nature of the South Pole.(Extraterrestrials in Antarctica)

Thus, few photographs of the eternal ice of Antarctica are taught. Almost nobody can go, if you do not belong to a select group of 20 countries, headed by the United States and Russia. As is known, these nations send their respective bases, scientists, meteorologists, and military.

But behind all this, one of the great secrets of Antarctica is in its central zone, there are supposedly large ice-free territories.

If you wanted to know what happens there, you would have to travel the eternal ice of the periphery, and for that, you would need to have the necessary means. A helicopter would not be much help when your flight is not so long and you need to refuel with some frequency, so imagine the amount of money needed to go to this place.(Extraterrestrials in Antarctica)

Thus, the treaties of Antarctica have been faithfully fulfilled. That’s why you or anyone can not go, in any way, to this place. By leaks of the informant, it is allowed to really know what is hidden there.

The permanent bases of these twenty countries help protect these new lands, so we know of a strange expansion into other spaces of this great territory.(Extraterrestrials in Antarctica)

Beyond the frozen horizon of Antarctica, these new lands may be occupied by civilizations that are not of this world. And, still, do not know how long they have been there.

Area 122 : This secret laboratory in Antarctica hides something very strange. Numerous conspiracy theories exist around this mysterious secret laboratory. Area 122 is located on Ross Island, in the frozen and enigmatic Antarctic and it is not accessible to everyone. This area belongs to the ASPA which means Antarctic Specially Protected Area. In total, there are 170 ASPA plants distributed throughout the Antarctic, most of which are used for scientific research.

Some conspiracy theories says that this area is used to search for extraterrestrial phenomenons, but can not be confirmed for the time being. Officially The secret facility serves the scientists who work there to explore the aurora borealis and the ozone layer.

The installation has a dome that resembles a radar system, but the interior is harmless and nothing mysterious. The researchers keep in touch with their families, employers, friends and relatives via satellite.

Only the strict military surveillance of the costly research facility, which lies deep in the South Pole Mountains, remains mysterious. Area 122 is under military control 24 hours a day and has been hermetically sealed. Potential intruders without security clearance would not have an opportunity to enter the base. The soldiers on guard would arrest the person immediately and most likely interrogate her.

Area 122 is operated by the Antarctic Program of the United States and Antarctica of New Zealand. The research team has to work with old computers that are not equipped with a USB port but with a floppy disk.

The skylights are distributed over the roof and offer direct access to the world outside the secret laboratory. In the corner there is a Dobson spectrometer with a large periscope protruding from it. The spectrometer is used to analyze the ozone layer, while other instruments to explore the upper atmosphere and the northern lights.

Since 1959, 122 New Zealand scientists have been working in Area 122, near the US research station McMurdo. The McMurdo station is the largest research and logistics facility in Antarctica, operated by the United States Antarctic Program since 1955.

Top 10 Different Types Of Alien Species On Earth Sighting of aliens have been reported by hundreds of people over the last one hundred years from different parts of the world. As per collective studies of all these reports, it is being calculated that there are as many as 82 different types of aliens that are being seen on earth! Here is a brief description about the top 10 different types of aliens that have been spotted on earth.

Type 1 : Zeta Reticulans or Grey Aliens
The most common type of aliens that are being seen across the globe by people of all ages is the zeta reticulan type, which is also commonly referred to as the ‘Greys’. These extraterrestrial beings are typically 3-4 feet tall and have large almond shaped black eyes. Their head is much larger than a regular human’s head and they have no noses, but only nostrils. Their arms are usually longer that has not more than three to four fingers. It is the Zeta reticulans who are thought to be the main culprits behind most human abductions.

Type 2 : Little green men
Another common type of alien is the little green men that have been reported to have been sighted by different people in different places. These types of extraterrestrials are humanoid creatures with a greenish skin color and their bodies are devoid of any hair. Some of the little green men have been reported to have antennas on their heads, which are much larger than a regular human head.

Type 3 : Nordic Aliens
The Nordics would look just like humans and they would have long blonde hair that would be maintained by both male aliens as well as the female ones. These aliens are not identifiable even if they walk among a crowd. The only way to identify them is when they manifest some of their extraterrestrial activities. These aliens usually have angular faces with blue eyes. The females of the Nordic alien type have a high sex appeal.

Type 4 : Pleiadian Aliens
The aliens of the Pleiadian type are characterized by round faces and tall figure and the rest of the features are soft but detailed. The overall appearance of the Pleiadians is a very pleasant one and although they do not have hair usually, but if someone has any hair on the heads, the hair is blonde colored. These aliens are known to be very gentle and peace loving by nature.

Type 5 : Andromedan Aliens
You would mistake the Andromedan aliens to be humans, as they look almost like humans, with the only difference being in their overall size. These aliens are bipedal energy beings who can read the minds of humans by means of telepathy.

Type 6 : Reptilians Aliens
Another very common type of aliens is the reptilians who are tall and have scales over their humanoid body structure. These aliens would have webbed feet and would look more or less like a reptile when you see them for the first time.

Type 7 : Alpha Draconian
The most corrupt, hostile and vicious type of aliens are the alpha draconian. These aliens are believed to have come from Alpha Draconis and are characterized by giant reptilian features. These aliens are about 14 to 22 feet tall and weigh approximately 1800 pounds or more. They believe themselves to be the rightful owners of the humans who are lesser evolved beings as per their standards.

Type 8 : Sirians Aliens
The Sirians are those types of aliens that in spite of having a humanoid structure prefer to live around in the water. These aquatic aliens are mostly found in oceans and lakes where there is huge depth. They are known to have come from Sirius B Star system.

Type 9 : Anunnaki Aliens
The ancient Sumerians used to worship the Anunnaki as their god. The Anunnaki is nothing but aliens that had visited the planet of earth around four thousand years ago with the intention of enslaving humans to carry out farm work with them. The Anunnaki aliens look exactly like humans, but they are slightly larger than the aliens, with average height being 8-9 feet. These aliens are believed to have come from Nibiru, the twelfth planet in our solar system, which lies beyond Pluto and is yet to be discovered.

Type 10 : Arcturian Aliens
The arcturians are usually four to five feet tall with large heads and blue skin. The rest of their bodies are highly disproportionate. These types of aliens are believed to be the most ancient race of the entire Milky Way Galaxy and they are considered to be very intelligent, experienced and innovative.

Hidden Antarctic Secrets - All is Revealed
what "they" don't want you to know
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan, 1934-1996
The weight of evidence for an extraordinary claim must be proportioned to its strangeness
- Pierre-Simon Laplace, 1749-1827

Antarctica is a long way away from where you live, wherever you live. Not many people have been there, it's difficult and expensive to get there, it seems like some sci-fi ice-planet place and really exciting.

It isn't "secret" though, just not well known. What goes on there is largely uninteresting to most people and is mainly very technical, complicated scientific stuff that is not easy to understand.

All of this contributes to numerous conspiracy theories about UFO's, aliens, Nazi bases and other forms of woo-woo. With the advent of the internet and especially of access to satellite images on Google Earth there are plenty of purveyors of snake-oil ready to "interpret" ice-bergs and other ice patterns and structures for the benefit of the gullible, they are never just natural formations, but "clearly" alien or at least secret facilities.

1 - The Forbidden Sector. No-one knows what happens here, no one who has been has ever come back, if you try to take a peek at the border you are grabbed by security penguins and taken in.

2 - The Hole at the Pole. This connects with the Hole at the Other Pole and to the Hollow Earth and those who live there.

3 - The Wall Around the Hole at the Pole. This stops people from the Almost-South-Pole-Station from falling in the hole and keeps out immurgrunts.

4 - The Almost South Pole Station. Because there's a big hole where the actual Pole should be (obvs) you can't build a research station there so instead it's nearby, this means it easy to keep an eye on all the ufo's and other alien technology that comes in and out of the hole.

5 - UFO Base. UFO technology was first established in Antarctica at the end of WW2 by the Nazis who did the obvious thing when they thought they might lose the war and moved to Antarctica to test-fly UFO's. They have been doing it ever since, secretly... 75+ years so far and counting...

6 - Visitors Land. The magnetic fields in Antarctica are manipulated to cause compasses to lead everyone to this area wherever they think they are going and think they might be. This prevents anyone finding out about the secrets in Antarctica "They" don't want you to know about.

7 - Visitor Land Barrier. A big plywood barrier painted to look like distant mountains and icebergs that hides the rest of Antarctica behind it.

8 - Secret Nazi Submarine Base. Established at the end of WW2. A tunnel at the ice edge leads to a base built into a giant ice-cave hundreds of miles inland so submarines can come and go secretly on clandestine missions.

9 - Tropical Area. No-one would expect an area of tropical weather and rainforest in Antarctica, so that's exactly why one has been established and kept secret well away from prying eyes, you wouldn't guess it was here would you? clever eh? <taps side of nose>.

10 - The Pyramids of Antarctica. Built by an ancient and powerful race and hidden under the ice. Every now and then one of them pokes out accidentally and photographs are taken, but by the time anyone looks again, the snow is heaped back over it and it disappears from view. Also, some mountains look a bit pyramid like from some directions.

11- Land of The Ancient Race of Super-Beings With Big Angular Heads. Some of them tried to leave many years ago and made it to Easter Island where their enormous weight made them sink into the ground and a simple common bacterial infection turned them to stone. The bacterium cannot live in Antarctica so they continue their highly sophisticated secret society under the ice, just occasionally sending out for pizza.

Hitler's Frozen Base
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
- Bertrand Russell, 1872-1970
A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence - David Hume, 1711-1776

In the late 1930's, the Nazi's showed an interest in Antarctica and sent a expedition to survey a part of it and claim it for Germany, the claim was not continued but it sowed the seeds for a whole range of fantasies about secret things that might be going on.

What really did happen?

Neuschwabenland
A little known German expedition to Antarctica from the 17th of December 1938 to the 12th of April 1939 on the ship MS Schwabenland had the purpose of claiming an area now known as Dronning Maud Land mainly to protect the German whaling industry. This area however had been previously explored by Norway and was formally claimed by the Norwegians in January 1939 after the Germans had set sail.

MS Schwabenland, late 1930's, with one of two Dornier flying boats towards the stern which was launched by a steam catapult, on return it would land on the sea and taxi to the ship to be brought aboard by a crane.
Drygalski mountains in Dronning Maud Land, about 200km inland from the coast, previously central "New Swabia", view from the north looking inland, 1995.

The Schwabenland was equipped with a steam catapult and two Dornier Wal flying boats which were used to photographically survey 600,000 square kilometres. About a dozen aluminium flags were dropped from the aircraft at turning points of flight polygons and others were left by foot expeditions, none of these have ever been recovered. The land surveyed was claimed by Germany in August 1939 as "Neuschwabenland" named from the ship. The outbreak of war prevented two further planned expeditions and the possible building of a base, though most probably to the other side of Antarctica in the Pacific sector away from the Norwegian claim, the claim was abandoned in 1945.

There is no evidence of any further German activity in Antarctica during World War 2.

U-530 and U-977
On the morning of the 10th of July 1945, the German U-boat U-530 arrived at the Argentine naval base at Mar del Plata near Buenos Aires, two months after the German surrender and the end of the war in Europe on the 8th of May 1945.

Rumours spread that it had brought Hitler, Eva Braun, Martin Bormann and others and had landed them on the coast of Patagonia or Antarctica before reaching Mar del Plata. A week later a Hungarian exile in Argentina, Ladislas Szabo wrote a detailed account in a local newspaper of how Hitler and his entourage had supposedly escaped Germany. The story quickly spread worldwide and versions of it appeared in other newspapers in many countries. On the 17th of August, another U boat, U-977 also arrived at Mar del Plata, further fuelling speculation.

The commanders of these U-boats and their crews were arrested and interrogated by naval personnel from Argentina, the USA and the UK, they all concluded that the arrivals were innocuous and the crews were released.

Two years later in 1947, Szabo published a book "Hitler is Alive" where he claimed these two U-boats had taken fleeing senior Nazis to Antarctica as part of a submarine convoy, the commander of U-977 in particular, Heinz Schaeffer denied this but the rumour still spread. In another version of the story, it is Hitler's ashes that were taken to Antarctica and placed in a special ice-cave along with Nazi treasure.

Szabo claimed a Nazi Antarctic base called "New Berchetesgaden" had been built in 1938-39, this idea has been taken up by several authors over the years often building on earlier embellishments with tales becoming ever more fantastical as time went on.

The submarine convoy and the "New Berchetesgaden" base both first appear when described by Szabo, there is no reference to either before his publications, subsequent publications refer to what he initially described and there has never been any evidence of either.

While the Germans were not active in Antarctica during the war, the British were. Great Britain had claimed the sector of Antarctica between 20°W and 80°W and to the South Pole in 1908, Argentina claimed pretty much the same section from the mid 1920's and so did Chile in 1940, Argentina and Chile were both friendly with Germany.

From February 1944 Great Britain occupied the region of their claim to rebut the competing claims from Argentina and Chile under the guise of obtaining information about German shipping raiders and U-boats in the region. A number of permanently manned bases were established to this end each with a handful of personnel under Operation Tabarin. Much scientific data was collected during this time and after the war, work continued as the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey which later became the British Antarctic Survey.

Operations Highjump and Windmill
Operation Highjump 1946-47 and Operation Windmill 1947-48 (the Antarctic summer seasons) were United States Navy operations with Highjump being the largest ever group to go to Antarctica consisting of 4,700 men, 13 ships and 33 aircraft. The main purpose was to prepare for and practice techniques for cold weather warfare in polar conditions while being diplomatically far away from the Arctic and Russia. It was primarily a military exercise with a number of other important objectives such as establishing a research station, investigating further potential base sites, extending the sovereignty of the Unites States to an extensive region of the continent, and surveying the electromagnetic, geological, hydrographical and other scientifically important aspects of the physical environment.

Operation Windmill was a follow-up much smaller exercise the following year, an important part of which was to obtain ground references for the 70,000 aerial photographs taken during Highjump the previous year. Helicopters were used extensively, hence the name Windmill being given to the operation.

Nuclear Explosions
In August and September 1958, three nuclear explosions were detonated by the United States as part of Operation Argus over the South Atlantic between 38.5° and 49.5° south between 2,280 and 3,500km north of Antarctica to the southwest of South Africa. These were high altitude bursts and as might be expected at the time at the height of the Cold War were shrouded in secrecy, though they were reported soon afterwards in 1961.

Contortions of the Truth and Invented Narratives
As we have seen above, the evidence-free stories about a Nazi Base in Antarctica began within a week of a submarine turning up somewhere unexpected shortly after the Nazi surrender in 1945. The items I outline above are factual, though they have been used repeatedly as a scaffold to support all manner of fantasies that may or may not fit together.

There are a number of narratives from several authors which follow similar patterns with some variations. The basic story is that a German base in Antarctica was established just before the war by the Schwabenland, this was expanded during the war being regularly supplied by submarine deliveries, it was used to develop sophisticated secret weapons. This base was spied on by the British who attempted unsuccessfully to destroy it in an SAS raid in 1945. Operation Highjump was sent to attack the base, though they were repulsed by secret weapons (flying saucers are often mentioned), then eventually the base was destroyed by nuclear bombs in 1958. By the time of its eventual destruction the base is often described as being populated by hundreds or even thousands of people and defended by a range of sophisticated weaponry including the flying saucers. Of course all of the stories claim that there has been suppression of facts and evidence by the British, Americans and anyone else you care to name, the lack of evidence is therefore presented implicitly as evidence.

While a lack of evidence makes something much less likely, the absence of evidence is not the same as the evidence of absence. What follows is a short account of why the claims of a secret Nazi base are not only baseless (did you see what I did there?) but ridiculous. For a more in depth explanation and discussion, see: Summerhayes and Beeching, (2007) Polar Record 43 (224): 1-21. Hitler's Antarctic Base: The Myth and the Reality ?

The Secret Nazi Antarctic Base
Different authors claim different building times and locations of the supposed Nazi base, sometimes it is described as being in a warm ice-free oasis with lakes, sometimes pictures of other areas are misrepresented or just plain faked.

While there are ice-free or relatively ice-free areas in Antarctica, they are not warm, the lack of ice is due to the prevailing winds and low snow deposition, not melting.

The supposed warm ice-free caves under the ice/ground and source of geothermal energy to supply the base do not exist in Dronning-Maud Land, while there is geothermal and even volcanic activity in other parts of Antarctica, this area is particularly geothermally quiet.

Time and logistics. The base described as first built in 1939 is usually described as being about 250km inland across a previously unexplored and unmapped, crevassed and sloping ice shelf. The ship Schwabenland was in the area for about a month. Previous Antarctic bases that had been established by Scott, Shackleton, Amundsen and others took at least two weeks to construct the base buildings. The Germans were inexperienced in such things and transport across 250km of uncharted ice field would have been difficult and time consuming even for the experienced. The Dornier aircraft had a payload equivalent of about 10 people and being flying boats were unable to land and take off safely on a glacier or ice cap so could not have been used for transport. There was simply not enough time or the resources to build a base so far inland in such a short space of time even to house just a dozen or so men as had happened previously let alone the hundreds imagined by authors who described the base.

There have now been well over 1,000 scientists who have visited the area of Newschwabenland, several scientific bases have been established there since the 1950's, the whole area has been mapped by satellite and considerable air traffic has criss-crossed the area, none of this has led to the reporting of even the slightest evidence of a wartime Nazi base. As it was supposedly built in an ice-free oasis, it would not have been buried by snow.

British Operation Tabarin
There is a claim that the British set up a base called Maudheim-1 (there are no records) in Dronning Maud Land during the war to observe the apparent Nazi base, this was supposedly attacked by the Nazis in July 1945 followed by SAS led (failed) retaliatory attacks from October to December that year.

While Operation Tabarin was a military led wartime mission and secret at the time, all records are in the public domain and no base was ever built in Dronning Maud Land, which as it is in the Norwegian claimed sector is as expected. The main purpose of Operation Tabarin was to establish a British scientific presence in the British claimed sector where all of the wartime bases were built. These bases were all tiny with a compliment of between 4 and 9 men.

There was no SAS presence in Antarctica during the war. There were three de-mobbed ex-SAS men in the Falkland Islands in 1945-46 after the war who became involved in the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, the civilian development of Operation Tabarin seeing the possibility for a civilian adventure in Antarctica. The SAS had been disbanded in October 1945 and would not be reformed until 1948.

A number of bases were established in and around the Antarctic Peninsula area from February 1944, each was very small and they were frequently visited by shipping during the summer months with personnel being changed over or moved to other locations. They would also often be closed down and another opened as more or less advantageous places to build a base were discovered by trial and error. This perfectly normal and explicable behaviour has been suggested as being somehow significant or mysterious, it isn't.

U-530 and U-977
Did these U-boats visit Antarctica before turning up in Argentina two months after the end of the war in Europe?

Interrogation reports of the crews of these two submarines showed that U-530 was off New York when the news reached them of the German capitulation on the 8th of May 1945, while U-977 was off the coast of Norway. U-977 put 16 men ashore who chose to go near Bergen, and then the rest of the crew (now reduced from the normal number) made their way to German-friendly Argentina. Both boats had to travel quite slowly to conserve fuel, they travelled on the surface at night and below the surface during the day to avoid capture, this slowed them down further. The time taken for them to reach Argentina is exactly within the travelling time and speeds they could make during their separate journeys. Embellished claims were made that the U-530 that turned up in Argentina was in fact a much faster and larger boat than the "real" U-530, as usual without any evidence, even to the point where the supposed performance was significantly beyond any U boat in service.

June and July when the submarines were claimed to be in Antarctica are the depths of winter there. Winter storms, 24 hour darkness and a formidable skirt of seasonal sea-ice 1-2m thick before the continent is even reached prevent any shipping operating in the winter even today, let alone small 1940's submarines without any ice strengthening. Satellite data shows that this sea-ice in the Dronning-Maud Land region extends from the coast by about 500km in May and June and 1,665km in July. Then there is the presence of huge ice-bergs, the difficulties of under-ice navigation and a 250km crevasse strewn inland journey largely in the dark with winter temperatures of down to -50°C once the submarines had landed.

There is no evidence whatsoever of a convoy of submarines that these two boats were supposedly part of, going to Antarctica or elsewhere.

Operation Highjump
It is claimed by several authors with no supporting evidence that the purpose of Operation Highjump (1946-47) was to destroy the supposed Nazi base in Dronning-Maud Land.

Highjump was primarily a military rather scientific expedition, one of a number at the time designed to prepare for potential cold weather warfare in the Arctic, while being diplomatically far enough away from the Arctic and Russia. It was widely written about in the press at the time and accompanied by 11 journalists rather than being secret as was the British Operation Tabarin. Books published shortly afterwards were written by people on the expedition and an official report released later in 1947. Though classified as confidential and not made available to the general public, it was never classified as secret, there was nothing in the official report that was substantially different to the report about Operation Highjump in a National Geographic magazine issue in 1947.

Operation Highjump was centered on Little America IV, a new base that was built as part of the activities. This was on the Ross Ice Shelf on the opposite part of the continent to Dronning-Maud Land which was at the extreme limit of the planned exploration area.

The ships didn't leave the USA until late in the season, December the 2nd 1946, and arrived late to the Ross Sea after meeting a 1000km wide belt of pack ice. They unloaded supplies and materials for the Little America IV base on the 15th of January 1947 and left again as winter began to arrive on the 23rd of February 1947 to avoid damage to the ships that didn't have ice strengthening. They did not leave as claimed in some more fantastical descriptions because they were chased off by "secret weapons" or "flying saucers" from the Nazi base on the other side of the continent. A short summer season is usual in the Ross Sea region due to variable sea-ice and the relatively unpredictable advent of the Austral winter, the whole operation got off to a late start and the weather-forced early end was not unanticipated. Activities of all kinds in Antarctica are primarily dependent on the weather and sea-ice conditions rather than strict dates on the calendar. It was intended to last longer than it did, but still only weeks rather than many months as sometimes claimed.

Atom Bombs
The invented narrative says that in 1958, 3 nuclear bombs were used to destroy the Nazi base in Dronning-Maud Land. The reality is that they were high altitude test explosions for a particular purpose of potentially interfering with radar, radio and electronics of satellites and missiles. They were exploded between 2,280 and 3,500km north of Antarctica. Antarctica is a much studied environment in part because it is clean with virtually no pollution. Ice cores taken show peaks of radioactive fallout from 1950's and 60's nuclear tests thousands of km away in chronological order as they are trapped within seasonal snowfall and accumulation and so recorded. Nuclear explosions directly over Dronning-Maud Land in 1958 would show dramatic peaks of radio isotopes if they happened, no such evidence has ever been found in any ice cores taken.

1958 was part of the International Geophysical Year when there was great international co-operation to study the polar regions including the establishment of many temporary and permanent scientific bases. At this time there were Belgian, British, Japanese and Norwegian scientists living on newly established bases in the area, nuclear explosions would have been noticed and reported.
Conclusions

A sledge hammer to crack a nut maybe? Any sensible minded person wouldn't give the Nazi Antarctic base fantasy the time of day. The time it has taken me to write this page or for Messers. Summerhayes and Beeching to research and write their excellent paper debunking the ideas formally is arguably beyond what the effort is worth. After all, anyone who might consider such things as true is probably not going to bother reading a detailed analysis about why they can't possibly be so.

It is however satisfying to be able to address each particular claimed fantasy element as demonstrably false.

Quite often when presented with conspiracy theories with ridiculous and baseless claims we suspect that such a task could be undertaken, though the time taken can be onerous and so it generally doesn't happen. Here is one that shows what can be done with what has been a widespread and enduring fantasy over the years. "One fool can ask more questions than seven wise men can answer."
