UFOs in Antarctica: Twelve Documented Encounters<\/strong><\/a>
\nby Preston Dennett<\/p>\nAntarctica is the most extreme environment on our planet\u2014characterized by frigid temperatures ranging from 50 to 70 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, relentless winds, and dryness. This vast, icy continent spans 5.5 million square miles, housing about 90 percent of the world’s freshwater, yet it has no permanent residents. Governed by the 1951 Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits ownership and restricts activities to peaceful scientific research, Antarctica sees between 1,000 to 5,000 scientists and military personnel stationed at various bases each year, while attracting around 40,000 tourists. Amidst its icy expanses, the continent has long been a source of intrigue, spawning numerous conspiracy theories, including the existence of secret Nazi bases or entrances to a hollow Earth. Regardless of these theories, Antarctica has a rich history of UFO sightings. This video highlights twelve specific encounters, dating back 75 years, that include sightings, landings, and humanoids. Many of these cases stand out as some of the most credible in the field of ufology.<\/p>\n

\nLocation: Chilean Base Arturo Prat, Antarctica<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe have photographs to prove what we saw.\u201d At Chile’s Arturo Prat base, Captain Augusto Vars Orrego of the Chilean Navy reported witnessing multiple flying saucers performing aerial maneuvers during the bright Antarctic night.

\nLocation: Robertson Island, Antarctica<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe cold scrutiny of unknown eyes.\u201d Four Chilean scientists stationed on Robertson Island observed two metallic, cigar-shaped objects hovering vertically overhead. Their encounter lasted several hours and triggered their Geiger counter. Despite taking numerous photographs, these images remain unpublished.<\/p>\nDate: December 11, 1958<\/strong>
\nLocation: McMurdo Base, Antarctica<\/strong>
\n\u201cI\u2019m ashamed to say I panicked.\u201d While driving a snow-tractor outside McMurdo Sound Base, AQI Roger Benson stumbled upon a landed UFO and an unusual humanoid figure, which prompted him to flee in fear. Coincidentally, this encounter coincided with a surge of UFO sightings in the area, many of which were confirmed by radar. Rear Admiral Dufek, the commanding officer at the time, stated, \u201cI believe in UFOs.\u201d<\/p>\nDate: June 7, 1962<\/strong>
\nLocation: Hallett Station, Antarctica<\/strong>
\n\u201cA polished gold surface.\u201d Navy scientists at Hallett Station observed a brilliant golden disc in the sky. They managed to identify its disc-like shape with binoculars, yet Project Blue Book dismissed the event as a sighting of Jupiter.<\/p>\nDate: July 9, 1962<\/strong>
\nLocation: Johnson Atoll<\/strong>
\n\u201cUFO investigates nuclear test.\u201d After the US detonated a 1.45-megaton bomb in space, a massive UFO was spotted heading towards Antarctica to monitor the explosion site, indicating a level of interest in human activities.<\/p>\nDate: April 20, 1964<\/strong>
\nLocation: McMurdo Base, Antarctica<\/strong>
\n\u201cUFOs take control of aircraft.\u201d During a C-130 flight near McMurdo Station, the aircraft experienced a power failure while nine UFOs appeared and kept the plane aloft for an extended distance. The crew documented the encounter with nine rolls of film, and notably, the equipment they unloaded afterward weighed significantly less than it ought to have.<\/p>\nDate: June-July 1965<\/strong>
