I want to start off by saying I made this post to this subreddit like 2 years ago which got deleted with no explanation whatsoever, but I’m making it again due to the recent allegations of underwater aliens and recent new oceans discovered inside earths crusts. Admiral Richard E. Byrd is one of history’s most intriguing figures—a polar explorer, aviation pioneer, and a man surrounded by mystery. While his documented expeditions are groundbreaking, the conspiracies surrounding his discoveries are even more fascinating. In his South Pole expeditions, Byrd achieved remarkable feats. Between 1928 and 1930, he established Little America, the first permanent Antarctic base, where he conducted studies on geology, glaciology, and weather. In 1929, he became the first person to fly over the South Pole, solidifying his place in history. Later, in 1946-1947, Byrd led Operation Highjump, a massive Antarctic mission involving 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft. Officially, the mission aimed to test equipment and map parts of Antarctica, but the scale and abrupt end of the operation raise questions. This is where conspiracy theories come into play. One of the most famous is the Hollow Earth Theory, which claims Byrd discovered a hidden entrance to a lush and advanced civilization inside the Earth. A supposed “Secret Diary” The pictures I provided were supposedly the ones that the crew toke on the way to the entrance of such cave now keep in mind something. Admiral Byrd is often associated with the Douglas DC-3, a large and reliable aircraft used in polar expeditions. The DC-3 had a wingspan of 95 feet (29 meters) and a length of 64 feet (19 meters), making it one of the few planes large enough to fit into an enormous cavern if such a structure existed. Byrd frequently relied on modified DC-3s during his Antarctic missions due to their durability, spacious interiors, and ability to carry significant equipment and crew. In the so-called “Secret Diary” (widely regarded as a hoax), Byrd allegedly described flying into a massive cave during a polar expedition. According to this account, the cave was large enough to accommodate his entire plane, leading to the discovery of an advanced civilization hidden within. While unverified, this narrative aligns with the size and capabilities of the DC-3 or similar aircraft, which could theoretically maneuver into such a cavern. Now guys I want you to look at the picture of the plane flying and the formation of the mountains and terrain even to the background it’s quite similar if not identical. This cave it said to be large and wide for a small plane to make it through. [link] [comments] |
