1957 newspaper: US air recon found secret base near Antarctica
German newspaper article from 1957: [link to www.imagebanana.com]

Quick synopsis:

- Strategic bomber squad on a manouver finds dome 1000 miles north eastern of the De Long Islands
- 1 month later: Alaska air surveillance alarms Marine air recon, gives them coordinates
- Pilot of one of the planes: Saw blue grey steel dome, rotating like a radar. Went down to 800m and contacted it. Dome stopped rotating and went down like an elevator, big door closing over it.
- Radio operator: All electronic devices stopped functioning immediately after contacting the dome
- Area disputed between USA and USSR
- Many Alaska "coast stations" reporting crypted morse signals
- Airplanes following those signals lost it if they went closer to the calculated location of the signal source than 20 miles.

Quick googling leads to no answers. Your thoughts?

Also interesting that in 1958 a few submarines were sent under the arctic ice.

Indeed, but the article also mentions the extreme climatic circumstances, 333 stormy days a year and ice everywhere. Would be quite the effort for sure.

I find the idea of a base near the Arctic more likely than Sputnik for being the cause of the submarine north pole expeditions, but i know not much. :D

Re: 1957 newspaper: US air recon found secret base near Antarctica
In 1957, the us military invaded the Antarctic with nearly 5000 men across dozens of ships. The op misquoted Antarctic he meant Arctic. Coincidentally, Admiral Byrd invaded the southern pole in 1957. People died, planes were lost and the "exploration expedition" was suddenly cut short 4 months early. The entire fleet was sent scattering and bolting from the region for whatever reason.

All in documented history, look it up.

Yeah, you're speaking of Operation Highjump. How much of it is true is difficult to decide, but fascinating nonetheless.

Re: 1957 newspaper: US air recon found secret base near Antarctica
Oh, some dude posting on a forum in German SAID he called a newspaper, and they confirmed it? Well, that's rock-solid evidence! 1doh1

ETA: I still don't know what the article even said, so it doesn't really matter if it is genuine or not. How can you verify something, if you're not even sure what it is you're supposed to be verifying? No ship names, dates, people who might have been involved, nothing.

ok, I am translating, little by little but it is tedious and obviously needs some work but here is what I have done, so far...where you see a ? it means that I could not translate a word...



mysterious steel dome in the eternal ice fell off all electrical equipment on board the aircraft. Americans are faced with a puzzle. stationed in the harbor almost constantly frozen Alaska American marine are the commanding officer of ? in Alaska. Been alerted. Seldom they cross thousand of kilometers over the North Pole to locate dome on a card registered to their own point to a mysterious steel. A strategic bomber linked to ? had this dome nautical miles a month ago for the first time in 1000 ? the de long islands in the eternal ice spotted the pilot of that time in a trial use located radiate ? bombers reported the monotonous flight over the endless curse over the eternal polar ice-was interrupted suddenly.

It was probably a Japanese outpost.

The US never really clearly won the war with Japan like the myth they wish to portray. My grandparents confirm this, and even in the 1960's in southern california air raids were still fresh in their minds. I think douglas dietrich is correct in this aspect.

fortress or by type of radar equipment. Emitted signals. We went down to 800m we saw clearly how the dome on a turntable or a giant wave moving. Suddenly our radio signals must be heard. have the dome turned anymore and disappeared in a flash like an elevator in the deep
