ADM.BYRD AND "OPERATION HIGHJUMP"

...In 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd led 4,000 military troops from the U.S., 
Britain and Australia in an invasion of Antarctica (Operation Highjump and 
follow-up), but encountered heavy resistance from Nazi 'flying saucers' and 
had to call off the invasion. A Rear-Admiral who was in that invasion has 
retired in Texas, and said he was shocked when he read the *Fire From The 
Sky* material. He knew there were a lot of aircraft and rocket shoot-downs 
but did not realize the situation was so bad.

The invasion of ANTARCTICA consisted of three battle groups from Norfolk,
VA, on Dec. 2, 1946. They were led by Byrd's command ship, the ice-breaker
*Northwind,* and consisted of the catapult ship *Pine Island,* the destroyer 
*Brownsen,* the aircraft-carrier *Phillipines Sea,* the U.S. submarine *Sennet,*
two support vessels *Yankee* and *Merrick,* and two tankers *Canisted* and 
*Capacan,* the destroyer *Henderson* and a floatplane ship *Currituck.* A 
British-Norwegian force and a Russian force, and I believe some Australian 
and Canadian forces were also involved.

On March 5, 1947 the *El Mercurio* newspaper of Santiago, Chile, had a 
headline article "On Board the Mount Olympus on the High Seas" which 
quoted Byrd in an interview with Lee van Atta: "Adm. Byrd declared today 
that it was imperative for the United States to initiate immediate defence 
measures against hostile regions. The admiral further stated that he didn't 
want to frighten anyone unduly but that it was a bitter reality that in case of 
a new war the continental United States would be attacked by flying objects
which could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds. (Earlier he had recom-
mended defence bases at the NORTH Pole.) Admiral Byrd repeated the above 
points of view, resulting from his personal knowledge gathered both at the 
north and south poles, before a news conference held for International News 
Service."

(Note: Just as there have been claims of "warm" land in Antarctica which
the Nazis may have taken advantage of, there have historically existed leg-
ends of other "lost lands" or valleys in the northern extremities.  For instance,
one legend is spoken of in the Apocryphal book of II Esdras, chapter 13.  This
is a book of non-canonical Jewish legends and such which were gathered
during the 400-year "period of silence" which existed between the closing of
the Old Testament [Torah] and the New Testament records.  This apocryphal
work, although not considered to contain "infallible and divinely inspired"
revelation, does give an interesting passage on the possible whereabouts 
of the 9 1/2 "lost" tribes of Israel.  In Israel, three-and-a-half tribes have been
documented: Judah, Benjamin, the black Dannite tribes of Ethiopia, and
half of the tribe of Levi.  No-one has been able as of this writing to document
any known culture as having direct decent from the other "lost" tribes [including
the two half-Josephite-tribes of Ephraim and Mannassah which are considered
to be distinct tribes of their own].  The II Esdras account tells of the lost tribes
being taken into Assyria and beyond.  However, not wishing to be tempted by
the practices of the pagan tribes who surrounded them, they chose to proceed
northward beyond the river Sambatyon -- which miraculously parted for them.
But there they were not content, and by divine leading they disappeared into
the far NORTH into a land called "Arzareth" where "never men dwelt", and from 
whence according to the legend they will one day return in power and glory.  
There are other accounts of strange geothermally-warmed lands beyond a "great 
ice barrier" in the far north situated in a polar concavity similar to that at the top
of an apple or an orange, yet hidden from human view by a perpetual cloud-
cover or mist created by the interaction of warm and cold air.  Whether these
legends are true or not, or in fact whether the Apocryphal legend is true or not,
one should realize that the polar areas HAVE always held a sense of fascina-
tion in the minds of many of the nations on earth... possibly because of the fact
that they still remained very much a 'mystery'.  The Nazi's sent out numerous
polar expeditions, which were justified largely by the Germanic legends of a 
lost polar country called "Ultima Thule" which was supposedly inhabited by 
an ancient Aryan super-race.  From these legends the very superstitious and
occult-oriented Nazi leaders established the "Thule" society and other inter-
connected cults which provided the major motivating force for the racist Nazi 
ideologies, and their tragic outgrowth. - Wol.)

When Byrd returned to the States, he was hospitalized and was not allowed
to hold any more press conferences. In March 1955, he was placed in charge
of Operation Deepfreeze which was part of the International Geophysical
Year (1957-1958) exploration of the Antarctic. He died, some have suggested
he was murdered, in 1957...

UFO researchers are also aware of strange sightings of 'flying saucers' with
swastikas or iron crosses on them, "aliens" speaking German, etc. An
example is the American Reinhold Schmidt -- whose father was born in Germ-
any -- who tells in his book *Incident At Kearney* (Nebraska) that he was taken 
on a 'flying saucer' on several occasions. He said the crew spoke German 
and acted like German soldiers. He said they took him to the Polar region (if
someone were making up a story, why would they claim to be taken, of all
places, to the pole?)

After returning he was subjected to persecution by the U.S. Government. His
description [of the aerial discs] matched pictures captured from the Germans.

front page articles about UFO encounters where the crew members appeared 
to be German soldiers. IN the 1960s there were reports in New York and NEW 
JERSEY of flying saucer "aliens" who spoke German, or English with a German 
accent.

In the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg atomic espionage trials, they spoke of
"warships of space." Since they had access to top secret information, about
what were they talking?
