Operation Highjump Photos
from Anonymous Source

On November 5, 2017, the Editor of NEXUSNewsfeed.com, Duncan Roads, posted the following March 5, 1947 El Mercurio newspaper article from Santiago de Chile after the sudden and mysterious termination of Operation Highjump — along with five black and white photographs, some containing UFOs, allegedly taken during Operation Highjump.

El Mercurio, March 5, 1947, by reporter Lee Van Atta about U. S.
Admiral Richard Byrd's Operation Highjump military expedition to Antarctica.

Partial translation: “Admiral Richard E Byrd warned today of the necessity for the United States to adopt protective measures against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile aircraft proceeding from the polar regions. The admiral said: 'I do not want to scare anybody but the bitter reality is that in the event of a new war, the United States will be attacked by aircraft flying in from over one or both poles.'

“On the subject of the recently terminated expedition, Byrd said that 'the most important of the observations and discoveries made was the of the present potential situation as it relates to the security of the United States ... I can do no more than warn my countrymen very forcibly that the time has passed when we could take refuge in complete isolation and rest in confidence in the guarantee of security which distance, the oceans and the poles provide.'

“The admiral warned of the necessity to 'remain in a state of alert and watchfulness.' He said that he 'realized perhaps better than any other person the significance of the scientific discoveries made in these explorations because I can make comparisons' (i.e. between now and when he was in Antarctica pre-war). We are abandoning the region after making important geographical discoveries.'”

Something of possible interest.

From Image 05: “Project Suchimuboi”.



Steamboy (2004)
Suchîmubôi (original title) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348121/)
imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348121/)

In 1860s Britain, a boy inventor finds himself caught in the middle of a deadly conflict over a revolutionary advance in steam power.

Rei is a young inventor living in the U.K. in the middle of the 19th century. Shortly before the first ever World Expo, a marvelous invention called the "Steam Ball", behind which a menacing power is hidden, arrives at his door from his grandfather Roid in the U.S. Meanwhile the nefarious Ohara Foundation has sent men to acquire the Steam Ball so that they can use its power towards their own illicit ends.

Also from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamboy):



Steamboy

In 1863, where an alternate nineteenth century Europe has made tremendous strides in steam-powered technologies, scientist Lloyd Steam and his son Edward have succeeded, after a lengthy expedition, in discovering a pure mineral water. They believe the water can be harnessed as an ultimate power source for steam engines (the main industrial engine of the time). An experiment in Russian Alaska goes terribly wrong, with Edward being engulfed in freezing gases, but results in the creation of a strange spherical apparatus.

Very, very interesting.

Do also go to the Earthfiles site, btw, where there's just a little more detail. (Linda archives these front page articles after a short time, so one would need to PDF it now if seriously interested).


https://earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=2577&category=Science

My own immediate comment: if anyone faked these images, they'd surely have depicted the aerial craft as similar to the well-know Vril/Haunebu disks (http://discaircraft.greyfalcon.us/HAUNEBU.htm) — not these weird things, that appear to be quite different. And there's not a Nazi swastika in sight. :)


(Btw, look carefully and see that there appear to be two disks, not just one, in the second photo... and what is all that flotsam in the air??)

Yes very interesting, to say the least. Great point about the shape of those "things" as any modern Photoshoper worth his or her salt would copy any of the more available Nazi type vehicles. To my eye those bits of flotsam in the air are the result of AA fire (Anti Aircraft guns). I wonder what the source to these are. Linda is not one to stake her reputation lightly.... N

The flotsam in the air appears to me to be flack, perhaps from the distant ship in the photo and or other ships not in the photo. The pictures depicts the UFOs being fired upon. There does appear to be two objects.

Yes, I do think you're absolutely right. Flak. Wow.

Ha. So it's faked. Wow.

Good work. Maybe check the others. I've just e-mailed Linda and Duncan Roads.

What a shame. But that's why I love it here. Debunked. Well done uzn, great sleuthing. Like Bill said, it would be great if you could check the others. Seems if one is though that most likely the whole batch is a dud. Or perhaps a few fakes thrown in to discredit some real ones? Either way, excellent work, thank you...x.... N

[Bill Ryan]

excellent work, thank you...x.... N

Yes, really valuable. :star: I'm kicking myself, because I never bothered to check at my end, though I certainly know how. I simply took Duncan's word that they weren't on the net. ("...none of the pictures appear to have been in the public domain before now.")

But Duncan has replied to my e-mail already, acknowledging the fake. :thumbsup: I suggested that he might contact Linda, also.

[Bill Ryan]

If you look REALLY carefully at the shapes of the waves at the side of the USS Sennet, I'm 98% sure the photo here...

https://www.earthfiles.com/images/news/A/Antarctica03Highjump021147TS_Clench_Bolt_TF68.jpg

...was VERY cleverly Photoshopped from the photo here.

HA HA HA!!! I'm laughing because I also didn't bother to check since I got it directly from LMH!

I guess I am now an official member of the notorious AssUMe club!

Nice job uzn! And thanks! :)

I got a very nice reply from Linda, which I think is just fine to quote here:

Hi, Bill,

Good to hear from you! Did you see my Earthfiles.com (http://earthfiles.com) Update this morning after help from a geophysicist who recognized one of the photographs?

https://earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=2577&category=Science

He planned to do what you’ve apparently done below — do reality checks on the rest of the four photographs so I can do another Earthfiles update.

So I’m very grateful for your email. I’ll get another update up as soon as I can amid radio broadcasts today.

But there is still the question: WHY would anyone go to the trouble of sending the 5 photos with the El Mercurio March 5, 1947, article to NEXUS in Australia, who sent me the newspaper article and photos - with at least two photoshopped with the oddly shaped aerial discs? Do you know what the black spherical object is in the 5th photo?

Standing by to keep learning more - with appreciation and puzzlement - Linda

[Nasu]

Glad to See Linda was / is on it herself. I think the reason is simply because someone can imo. I had a friend who plastered his office walls with pictures of him with popes and presidents and persons of historical value, all Photoshoped by a pro like these, just for show off value. So who knows why someone would do this, my best guess is ego, because they can... N

[The Moss Trooper]

I'm pretty sure that photo No.5, the “Project Suchimuboi” picture, is another clever photo-shop. The surface wave pattern around the column of upward water looks to be the wash from a helicopter.

Jup, found This. If you flip it vertically and or horizotally you get a pretty close match of some of the patterns. Combine this with two or three other waterimages and you got the background.

Many thanks — yes, it's VERY VERY similar. But I can't make it match, no matter which combination of ways I flip it. :)

But clearly the 'Byrd' image is helicopter downwash — for sure. :thumbsup:

[Bill Ryan]

Found it. THIS is the helicopter downwash image. It matches like a fingerprint. I already e-mailed Linda. Good teamwork here. :highfive:

Wow nice speed on all that guys! Well done!

[Bill Ryan]

An interesting message, by PM to me, from a longstanding Avalon member who rarely posts. I'll have some fun later today checking out the useful-looking website he recommends.

Hi Bill,
I didn't know whether to post on the forum.
This website http://fotoforensics.com (http://fotoforensics.com/) allows one to upload photographs using the photo's URL or from one's computer. It will then analyze the image for possible changes made by imaging software.
Maybe a useful tool ?
Kindest regards
[name and username given]
P.S. I very rarely ever post on social media, so I hope it was okay to PM you with this.

If " El Mercurio, March 5, 1947, by reporter Lee Van Atta about U. S. Antarctica expedition" is true. Probably someone intended to create an illustration on actual event, without giving any actual evidence.

A good update from Linda... and she was smart enough to add the caveat, at an early stage, that the images might have been Photoshopped (as it's now been established that 4 out of the 5 definitely were, the 5th currently not having been identified).

She refers to this radio show that was about to take place, with Brian S, a highly credible military witness who reported to Linda in depth about the giant hole near the South Pole that was supposed to be in a no fly zone. That show is here. I've not listened to it yet, but it's likely to have been extremely interesting.

Linda Moulton Howe interviews Naval Officer Brian “S” - Antarctica


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlOPsidcBfo

Published on Nov 11, 2017

Linda Moulton Howe interviews Brian “S” Linda received an email from a now 61-year-old Navy officer who was in Antarctica – his C130 crew encountered high strangeness from 1984/85 to 1987. Several times he and the crew all watched silver discs darting around the sky. He said he saw an entrance to a human/ET collaboration base. Brian was told by his superiors that, “you did not see…”.

Phenomenon Radio is a show concept blending one of the most high-profile experiencers with an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist to bring the most up to date and late-breaking news and interviews to create a unique live weekly broadcast that delves into the UAP/UFO phenomenon like never before. With over 60 years of experience between them, John and Linda will combine their efforts in a monthly series format that focuses on specific levels of the Phenomenon that cannot be properly covered in a single 2-hour program. This show researches thought-provoking breakthroughs in the field of UAP/UFOs, to discover fascinating truths through first-hand accounts with investigative insights into the expanding confluence of physical and mental exposure to this worldwide phenomenon.

If Linda knew Article lll c ,she wouldn't be surprise that there was only verbal warning, no one could be forced to sign no dis-closer agreement on any experience at Antarctica.

It is a personal choice not to tell, until some one ask direct question.

Ps; If it is not contradict with Article lX 1-f.

Well like he said, they were all military and already bound by their Security Clearances.

Before any Security Clearance can be granted you have to sign a "Blanket" Non-Disclosure Statement, and if you refuse - No Security Clearance and No Job.

Once you are granted a Security Clearance, anything you see, hear, or do is automatically covered under your signed NDS, and anything that you may see, hear, or do that is outside the scope of your assigned duties can simply be included verbally. This is one reason why all mission teams such as Flight Crews are required to report for debriefing directly after each mission.

Also, I suppose it's always a personal choice to tell. But you darn-well better understand the consequences, which are clearly stated in the NDS, that you agreed to when you signed it!

When I got my first TS/SBI/SCI clearance in the AF I was briefed that if ANYONE asks me questions about my job Three Times I was to report them immediately to the OSI, The FBI, or the Local Sheriff.

Btw, SBI = Special Background Investigation

Sorry it's so small. Guess I should re-scan it one of these days.

Item 25a Security Investigation Type:
NAC = National Agency Check
# = Ref item 25A: File Unknown, Defense Intelligence Agency Check Center, Fort Holabird, MD

Which means either it's Undisclosed or someone else has it.
