Antarctica is one of the most isolated regions, far from Earth’s civilization, which makes it the most favorable area for conducting a secret research operation or a place where extraterrestrial life would take shelter. UFO whistleblower named “ Brian S ”, who served in the US Navy, testified that he saw the entrance of a secret alien base and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in Antarctica while serving in the US Navy.
On January 2, 2015, Earthfiles reporter and editor Linda Moulton Howe received an email from Brian, who introduced himself as a retired U.S. Navy Petty Officer, Flight Engineer First Class. The 61-year-old Navy man, who joined the U.S. Navy in 1977 and retired 20 years later in 1997, provided Linda with his DD214 papers and other service certificates, including an Antarctic Service Medal awarded to him on November 20, 1984.
Brian told Linda that his C-130 crew encountered great strangeness while transporting cargo and performing rescues in Antarctica from 1984-1985 to 1997. Several times, he and the C-130 crew observed silvery discs shooting across the sky over the Transantarctic Mountains that separate East Antarctica from West Antarctica.
Brian and his team also saw a huge hole in the ice, the size of a football field, just about five to ten miles from the geographic South Pole, which was supposed to be an air sampling station, but in a no-fly zone.
Linda said that during an emergency medical evacuation crisis, to expedite travel, the crew flew through that no-fly zone and apparently saw a supposed entrance to what was said to be a human-ET scientific collaboration research base beneath the ice.
Then, at a campsite near Marie Byrd Land, a dozen scientists went missing for two weeks, and when they reappeared, Brian’s crew was tasked with searching for them. Brian said the scientists were silent and their faces “looked scared.”
Brian and his crew were ordered at different times not to talk and were sternly told, “You didn’t see the hole in the ice, you didn’t see anything.” But Brian was never asked to sign an official secrecy statement. He is convinced that non-humans have been and are probably still working on this planet.
He said in his email to Linda: “The talk among the flight crews was that there is a UFO base at the South Pole and some of the crew had heard from some of the scientists working at the pole that EBAs (extraterrestrial biological entities) had worked with the scientists below that air sampling camp in a large ice hole near the pole.”
Below is a transcript of the interview conducted between Linda Howe and Brain S on radio station KGRA on September 11, 2017:
Linda : Let’s start by breaking it down chronologically. You were deployed to Antarctica around ’84 or ’85 and were on the C-130 crew. Can you tell me about the first major freak event that occurred? You were living in McMurdo and you got an emergency call for medevac. Can you tell me what happened?
Brian : As I recall, our team was gearing up that morning. We were getting ready to go down to the airfield and pre-flight the aircraft, loading it up for our mission. Our mission that day was not to go to the South Pole, but to resupply science somewhere on the western side of the continent.
It was a short flight, probably an hour and a half to 45 minutes to the science group that had been sent out. However, we got a mission change when we left for operations. We were told to take one of our models, fuel it to capacity, fly to the South Pole, and then fuel it again before flying to Davis [Station] for a medical evacuation of someone who had been injured and needed to be airlifted off the mainland immediately.
We arrived at the South Pole without incident. The flight was uneventful and no cargo was loaded onto the aircraft. We had a few other crew members, one of whom was our paramedic, and our flight surgeon was also brought on board the aircraft. They would be responsible for caring for the patient after we picked them up and all the way back to McMurdo.
While I was refueling the aircraft at the South Pole, our navigator was plotting a course from the South Pole to Davis. I didn’t know we were going to deviate from the original plan until we were already deviating. The pilot asked our navigator, “Where are we going now? We’re not going where we thought we were going.”
We were instructed to follow a certain course, which passed directly over an air sampling station, which was approximately five to ten miles beyond the South Pole. This area was not a normal transit zone for our squadron, and the captain asked the crew or navigator about the no-fly zone. If we could get through this new no-fly zone, we could save time on this medical evacuation issue. This discussion was going on after we took off.
As a crew, we decided to take the direct route to Davis rather than detour 20 miles around the air sampling station, which is roughly what they required us to do if we went in that direction.
So we decided to fly right over it. We took off from the South Pole, and remember, the altitude at the South Pole is somewhere between 11,000 and 12,000 feet, so we were climbing with a full fuel load out of the South Pole.
We would climb to about 25,000 feet for our first altitude, and then as we burned fuel, we would get lighter and be able to climb higher, which also allowed us to get better fuel efficiency out of our engines and extend our range a little bit. We took off and were climbing, and about five to ten miles away, someone decided to look out the window instead of looking at the instruments and radar.
The navigator noticed it and said, ‘Hey, there’s a big dark spot here.’ So we ended up flying not directly over it, but slightly offset so we could look to the left side of the aircraft and it was down at about a 45-degree angle and there was a big opening in the ice where the air sampling station should be.”
Linda : Just a second, Brian, because I remember asking in our interview what size you estimated it to be and whether it looked somewhat structured.
Brain : I estimated that you could have gotten one of our aircraft up there. Our aircraft’s wingspan is about 135-138 feet wide, so it should have been big enough to accommodate that wingspan. But it was probably more the size of a football field, if you can imagine…
One thing I want to mention is that when we were flying up there, we could see tracks in the ice or snow, as if someone had driven a vehicle over there, like a snowmobile or one of those tractor-mounted vehicles called icecats. These tracks appeared to be a route back and forth from the South Pole station to an opening that we could clearly see from our altitude.
It was very distinctive and anything that made a line in the ice was immediately recognizable. However, it was still supposed to be a no-fly zone and made no sense to our pilot. The hole was estimated to be at least 300 feet in diameter, about the size of a football field.”
Linda : Can you describe the kind of rumors that you were exposed to after sitting down with people and talking? The guy who came up and told you all to keep your mouths shut, yes.
Brian : I was going to talk about that. I want to finish our mission in Davis and then the trip back to the South Pole to refuel… We ended up getting to Davis about four hours later. We landed and we were sitting on the ground with the engine still running. They brought the injured person in, we loaded him into the aircraft, turned it around, turned the power back on and took off.
We were heading back to the South Pole when we started approaching that same opening that we had come through on our way to Davis. We got to within a certain distance, I think it was 25 miles or something like that. The reason I remember that is because our navigator said, ‘Okay, we’re coming up on that opening again,’ because the navigator is tracking our distance and position all the time.
He wasn’t part of the squadron, but he was wearing the normal green uniform that everyone there wore when they weren’t flying. He came in, put on his parka and beanie, and sat down. He took off his jacket, looked at all of us, and said, “Okay, so you’ve gone through the no-fly zone north of the pole and violated the airspace restriction.”
Our aircraft commander said, “Yes, we did. We felt it was prudent to not waste any time and save some time on our flight to get to the medevac that was in Davis. We were told it was important and we shouldn’t waste any time, so we made the decision to fly over that air sampling station.”
As we discussed earlier, there was no reason why we couldn’t fly over that area, because we would be so high up that the exhaust from the engines wouldn’t matter. The gentleman basically looked at all of us sitting around the table and looked at each of us and said, “Okay, gentlemen, what you saw, you didn’t see. You didn’t get over that area and you’re never going to talk about it again. There was no repercussion or any threat of, ‘If you talk about this, this or that will happen.'”
We didn’t think anything of it at the time, but later on during missions to the South Pole, our crew stopped and we had to spend some time there because we had some dignitaries and VIPs who wanted to take a tour of the South Pole facilities. They said, “Okay, just turn off the engines and leave someone in the plane to observe and refuel for the trip back to McMurdo.”
We all went inside the dome at the South Pole. At that time, there was a big geodesic dome that had buildings inside it, where the staff and scientists who were at the South Pole lived. We all went inside and they had these big mill vans or the SEA vans that you see on container ships, like big shipping containers.
They turned it into buildings, so there were two-story buildings everywhere. One of the two stories was a bar or a nightclub, so we went over there and sat around talking, drinking sodas, and trying to keep warm. There were some civilians there, I assume they were scientists.
One of my loadmasters overheard one of them saying something about the operation or what was going on at the air sampling station. Later, we were talking to other crews and they had heard similar things when they were at the South Pole, but they had heard that there were “visitors” that they were going out to interact with.
So at this point we were all confused and trying to figure out what could possibly be going on at that air sampling station. We started to think that maybe there was some kind of secret government operation or research going on out there involving extraterrestrial life.
