There’s Something Under the Antarctic Ice : A Well Thought Out Scream by James Riordan

A group of scientists believe that much of our understanding of ancient history could change with their discovery of a huge object beneath Antarctica.  The mysterious “anomaly” is believed to be under the frozen wastes of an area called Wilkes Land. The area is 151 miles across and has a minimum depth of about 2,700 feet.

Some of the researchers believe the object is the remains of a truly massive asteroid more than twice the size of the Chicxulanart2twoub space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs.  If this explanation is true, it could mean this killer asteroid caused the Permian-Triassic extinction event, which killed 96 percent of Earth’s sea creatures and up to 70 percent of the vertebrate organisms living on land.

Back in 2006, NASA satellites recoded gravitational oddities in the Wilkes Land area, but it wasn’t until recently that a group calling themselves Secure Team 10 began posting YouTube videos about the area that have lit up the Internet.  Scientists seem to agree that there is a 300 mile-wide impact crater but differ greatly on what may have caused that crater and what is under it.  Of course,  the wilder minds of the internet have come up with their own set of interesting theories,  Some conspiracy theorists claim the object could be a massive UFO base or a portal to a mysterious underworld called the Hollow Earth.  The Secure Team 10 is an admitted UFO hunting crew, but their assertion in the video that “to this day, scientists have no idea or way to discover exactly what is buried deep under this thick ice shelf.  This continent has been shrouded in a mystery of its own for years now.”

But here is where the speculation really gets fun.  Secure Team 10 suggested the Nazis built secret bases in Antarctica during World War II, which were designed to be used by flying saucers.  The UFO hunters added: “There is some evidence of this coming to light in recent years, with images purporting to show various entrances built into the side of mountains, with a saucer shape and at a very high altitude?”

Secure Team also suggested the US Navy led a mission to investigate the mysterious continent.  This expedition was called Operation High Jump, which conspiracy theorists believe was an attempt to find the entrance to a secret world hidden underneath Earth.

However, the scientist who first spotted the anomaly believes it is actually evidence of a massive impact crater. “This Wilkes Land impact is much bigger than the impact that killed the dinosaurs, and probably would have caused catastrophic damage at the time,” said Ralph von Frese, who was a professor of geological sciences at Ohio State University when he discovered the “killer crater” on 2006.  “All the environmental changes that would have resulted from the impact would have created a highly caustic environment that was really hard to endure. So it makes sense that a lot of life went extinct at that time.”

Well, that makes a lot more sense.  But Nazi Ice Bases us a whole lot more interesting.  Then again some people believe that Hitler used his scients for something a lot more personal — to turn him into Ryan Seacrest.  I’m not saying I totally buy that theory, but then again, have you ever seen them in the same room together?
