The stars of Operation Highjump appeared to be the helicopters employed by the fleet. The nuclear warhead detonated at 13 minutes and 41 seconds after liftoff of the Thor missile.[12]. It was known from previous high altitude tests, as well as from theoretical work done in the late 1950s, that high-altitude nuclear tests produce a number of unique geophysical phenomena at the opposite end of the magnetic field line of the Earth's magnetic field. Our journey begins with a man named Richard E. Byrd or more commonly known as Admiral Byrd. The Hollow Earth Theory Starts To stand Up, the earth rings like a bell after an earthquake, Famous author and lecture, David Icke, explains in his book, Moon Matrix, exactly how the moon is likely hollow as well. Besides conducting reconnaissance, each was large enough to undertake rescue operations. Notes on Antarctic Aviation, Aug 1993 [156 Pages, 8.92 MB] Antarctic aviation has been evolving for the best part of a century, with regular air operations developing over the past three or four decades. The experiences of the PBM-5 Mariner George 1 were indicative of the difficulties airmen faced during Operation Highjump. Getting the big Douglas birds to Antarctica presented a formidable challenge as, lacking the range to fly from a land base, they had to be launched from Philippine Sea. Neither individual had his protective goggles in place at the instant of the detonation. A secondary objective was to increase knowledge of hydrographic, geographic, meteorological, geological and electromagnetic conditions of the area. The carrier was the last to arrive due to the construction of the base and airfield. The wars end also signaled the onset of the atomic age and a corresponding desire among the victorious nations to secure supplies of uranium and other natural resources. Finally, on December 26, the weather cleared and allowed for aerial mapping of the east coast. America on the Ice. You might be a tad bit confused about the waters above the heavens, but the firmament is also called heaven and so is the sky. HistoryNet.com contains daily features, photo galleries and over 25,000 articles originally published in our nine magazines. The firmament is a term for a religious phenomenon that has no basis in material reality. Task Force 68 included 4,700 men, 13 ships, and multiple aircraft. The following are documents related to, or mentioning, Operation Highjump: Report Bibliography: Operation Highjump [8 Pages, 4.57 MB] Report Bibliography of documents from the Defense Technical Information Center. Hole in Antarctica. The antarctic portion of the cruise was made during the antarctic summer months, between 22 December 1946 and 4 March 1947. United States Department of Defense. Nonessential personnel had been evacuated from Johnston Island during the test. In addition, an uninvited observation ship from the Soviet Union was stationed near Johnston Island for the test and another Soviet scientific expeditionary ship was located in the southern conjugate region,[14] permanent features of all future oceanic nuclear testing. After a pause of nearly three months, Operation Fishbowl was ready to continue, beginning with another attempt at the Bluegill test. A different version of these events has recently been The operation involved significant planning and equipment, from gloves, coats and provisions to tiny snow boots to protect sled dogs paws, and even a Christmas tree and Santa Claus suit since the ships would be at sea on December 25. The men successfully made the treka feat in itselfand were brought back to Pine Island by the rescue aircraft. According to the DOD nuclear weapon effects reference, "Because the beta particles have high velocities, the beta auroras in the remote (southern) hemisphere appeared within a fraction of a second of those in the hemisphere where the burst had occurred. The range safety officer ordered the destruction of the missile and the warhead. Interests in the Antarctic and Current U.S. Policy, and the U.S. Antarctic Program, scientific activitiesantarctic stationslogistics support-managing the logistics programmaintaining and influential american presence in the years ahead. The same report also projects the effects of one or more present-day high altitude nuclear explosions upon the formation of artificial radiation belts and the probable resulting effects on satellites that were in orbit as of the year 2010.[5]. #102 Congressional Hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) May 17, 2022 (5/18/22), Ep. Then the tractors, jeeps, M29 Weasels, bulldozers and other snow-track vehicles were unloaded. Physical Characteristics of the Firmament. HIGHJUMP's objectives, according to the U.S. Navy report of the operation, were:[3]. Report ADA955694. A total of 27 sounding rockets were launched from Johnston Island to obtain experimental data from the shot, with the first of the support rockets being launched 2 hours and 45 minutes before the launch of the Thor missile carrying the nuclear warhead. All rights reserved. Aspects of the U.S.-initiated Antarctic Treaty regime are then explored, including management of living resources and potential exploration and exploitation of nonliving hydrocarbon and mineral resources. An aircraft marked the route with orange flags and then proceeded to parachute drop food, medicine and other supplies. In order to get airborne, each R4D was outfitted with four JATO (jet-assisted takeoff) bottles. The Mariner had to be lifted back onto the ship for repairs. "United States Department of Defense. Subscribe to our HistoryNet Now! If Bluegill failed, the next attempt would be Bluegill Prime, and if Bluegill Prime failed, the next attempt would be Bluegill Double Prime, etc. The lesion diameters were 0.35 and 0.50 mm respectively. #104 Randall Nickerson on the Ariel Phenomenon (6/10/22), Ep.

The first Central Group ships arrived at the Ross Ice Shelf on January 17. Page 15. (8/9/22), Ep. With an eye on digital graphs that record density and pressure at various depths below the earth's surface, Buck explains that Highjump was the code name given to an aerial expedition of the. May the Holy Spirit guide you on your journeys. Operation Highjump. The mission had 3 task forces that were sent out in different directions and was to last 6-8 months but the fleet came back in just 6 weeks. It circled that field say 3 times then shot off in a blink of an eye! Not only is sailing or trekking across Antarctica illegal but you cant even fly a plane over it. A second aircraft took off and both made it to Little America IV safely. Type above and press Enter to search. No entry means unknown, probably none if underground and "all" if not; otherwise notation for whether measured on the site only or off the site, where known, and the measured amount of radioactivity released. During the trials, there were intermittent areas of compacted snow capable of supporting aircraft weighing up to 100,000 pounds with main tires inflated to 90 psi, but low-strength areas prevented takeoffs and landings with aircraft weighing over 25,000 pounds with main tires inflated to 60 psi. The naval component of Operation Highjump was known as Task Force 68 and comprised 4700 military personnel, one aircraft carrier (the USS Philippine Sea among the largest of all carriers of the time), and number of naval support ships and aircraft. What about the scientist working on them? Admiral Byrd, a 33 degree Freemason led the expedition of 30 ships and 4700 militarized soldiers. Soon the process began to shut down the operation and leave before the full force of winter set in. The smaller Sikorsky HNS-1 accommodated a pilot and one passenger and had a range of 130 miles. Debris Expansion Experiment." There are some scientists who have speculated that before the flood there was a thick sheet of water surrounding the earth up in the atmosphere. Although a great deal has been reported concerning the general meteorology of the antarctic, the conditions which affect the ranges of radar have never been stressed due to the relatively recent development of radar and use of the radio frequencies concerned. December 10, 1965. If you found out you lived inside of an enclosed system wouldnt you start testing the boundaries and trying to figure out how far it goes, how high it reaches, and if you can dig underneath it? Whether they produced battlefield images of the dead or daguerreotype portraits of common soldiers, []. Although it was officially one of the Operation Fishbowl tests, it is sometimes not listed among high-altitude nuclear tests because of its lower detonation altitude. Many authors propose that the Operation Highjump when Admiral Byrd had at his disposal the largest armada ever sent to Antarcticawas established to investigate a Nazi presence. Operation HIGHJUMP, officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-1947, (also called Task Force 68 ), was a United States Navy (USN) operation to establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV. Suddenly one of the engines seized and they began to lose altitude. An interesting side effect was that the Royal New Zealand Air Force was aided in anti-submarine maneuvers by the light from the bomb. Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a cast metal mirror? (Job 37:18). The film re-enacted scenes of critical events, such as shipboard damage control and Admiral Byrd throwing items out of an airplane to lighten it to avoid crashing into a mountain. August 1962", "Air Force Special Weapons Center. Besides photo equipment, each aircraft carried various instruments to search for mineral deposits and other geological features. After many polar accomplishments, Byrd organized Operation Highjump in 1947. And Elohim said, Let an expanse come to be in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters. And Elohim made the expanse and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It involved 13 ships, including two seaplane tenders and an aircraft carrier, and a total of 25 airplanes. Project 4.1" March 30, 1965. p. 17", "Johnston's Archive. For rocket bursts the ground level is "N/A". Task Force 68 included 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft. Observations of Radar Propagation and Influencing Meteorological Factors during the 1946-47 Antarctic Expedition, 10 June 1947[18 Pages, 1.42MB] Admiral Byrds antarctic expedition of 1946-47 offered an excellent opportunity to study radar wave propagation and low-level meteorological conditions which exist about the Antarctic Continent. It was reported that the yield and burst altitude were very close to those desired, but according to most official documents the exact nuclear yield remains classified. During its return flight the rotor blades became so coated with ice that the helicopter crashed several feet short of the ships landing pad. One crew member characterized the flying as no weather stations, inhuman landscape, traditional navigation aids useless, maps limited, knowing that the flying would not be safe. Johnston Island was a remote location, more distant from populated areas than other potential test locations. [18], Since all of the Operation Fishbowl tests were planned to occur during the night, the potential for eyeburn, especially for permanent retinal damage, was an important consideration at all levels of planning. The celebrations surrounding the end of World War II had barely ended when the Cold War commenced between the Western Allies and their Soviet former partner. An Odd Collection Of Operation Highjump Images. A blog where you can expect lots of Aliens and UFO's. No nuclear detonation occurred and no data was obtained, but subsequent investigation found that the Thor was actually following the proper flight trajectory. The Central Group was the command center for the operation. Upon reaching the Ross Ice Shelf, the Central Group ships would disgorge the small aircraft, ice vehicles, supplies, tents and sled dogs. According to one of the first technical reports, "The visible phenomena due to the burst were widespread and quite intense; a very large area of the Pacific was illuminated by the auroral phenomena, from far south of the south magnetic conjugate area (Tongatapu) through the burst area to far north of the north conjugate area (French Frigate Shoals). Finally, the thesis highlights the recent influence of the United Nations over Antarctic affairs, and proposes that the governing Antarctic Treaty consultative parties should cooperate more with the United Nations to avoid confrontation over the impending minerals regime. "[10]:241, The fourth attempt at the Bluegill test was launched on a Thor missile on October 25, 1962 (Johnston Island time). Biblical Earth NASA Lies Arent Even Convincing. The HO3S-1 was lost but Dufek and the pilot were saved before freezing to death in the frigid water. [16] It features Chief of Naval Operations Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz in a scene where he is discussing Operation HIGHJUMP with admirals Byrd and Cruzen. Task Force 68 consisted of three separate naval groups, each with a specific mission. Just several years later the U.S. and the Russians began firing over 49 high altitude thermo nuclear rockets up into the dome with Operation Fishbowl and Dominic. August 1962". Protecting United States Interests in Antarctica, April 1988 [124 Pages, 4.94 MB] This thesis begins by presenting a geographic overview of the physical features and resources in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Now unfortunately we cannot trust everything Byrd said as he was a Freemason, but it has been reported that he lost plane after plane due to some invisible barrier. It is in these areas that auroras were actually observed, in addition to those in the areas of the nuclear explosions."[8]. The Eastern Group of ships reached Peter I Island in late December 1946. Because let's face it, secrecy only gives rise to more secrecy. These models are too uncertain to permit extrapolation to other altitudes and yields with any confidence. The PBMs and R4Ds would play a major role in the objectives. A second, unstated objective was to prove Navy capabilities to President Harry Truman, who sought reductions in Americas postwar military budget. With its vast mineral deposits amid largely unexplored territory, Antarctica was considered a promising potential repository of those vital resources. The missile was between 30,000 and 35,000 feet (between 9.1 and 10.7km) in altitude when it was destroyed. In 1964 an Ohio woman took up the challenge that had led to Amelia Earharts disappearance. The secret mission to Antarctica and what they found there is still a secret and still a cause for concern among a lot of people. It formed a division between the waters above and the waters below ( Genesis 1:7 ). Each PBM carried survival equipment consisting of 100 days worth of rations, skis, sleds, medicine, warm clothes and sleeping bags. By 1958 the ice shelf on which Little America IV was sited had broken away and drifted into open water. Thank you Ive been studying the earth on Google earth if you look youll find many many places they couldnt cover up.Ive witnessed myself three different occasions UFOs in Madras,Or.USA. Training personnel and testing equipment in frigid conditions; Consolidating and extending the United States' sovereignty over the largest practicable area of the. Report ADA955411. Well, he found something in Antarctica and in an interview gave an account of what he saw. Operation Highjump, officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-1947, was a United States Navy operation organized by RADM Richard E. Byrd Jr. USN, (Ret), Officer in Charge, Task Force 68, and led by RADM Richard H. Cruzen, USN, Commanding Officer, Task Force 68. Free shipping for many products! Numbers 16:39 reads So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered; and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar. Here, the phrase were hammered out is again the verb root raqa. The other 6 crew members were rescued 13 days later. This Antarctic expedition, his fourth, was the largest and most ambitious exploration of that continent yet attempted and involved 4,700 men, 13 ships (including an aircraft carrier), and 25 airplanes. Subscribe to receive our weekly newsletter with top stories from master historians. [10]:241, On October 19, 1962, at about 90 minutes before midnight (local Johnston Island time), an XM-33 Strypi rocket launched a low-yield nuclear warhead which detonated successfully at an altitude of 147 kilometres (91mi). Defense Nuclear Agency. On August 26, 1946, chief of U.S. naval operations Admiral Chester Nimitz announced that a massive combined military expedition dubbed Operation Highjump would be launched into Antarctica in December during summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Immediately after WWII the U.S. Navy rushed launched the largest military operation ever down to Antarctica called Operation High Jump. [12], Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen, USN, Commanding, Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen, USN, Commanding Officer, Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd, Jr. USN, (Ret), Officer in Charge, Capt. That new theory does give results which are consistent with both the Bluegill Triple Prime and Kingfish data. This treaty makes it illegal for everyday citizens to travel to Antarctica, sure some cruises will take to you to certain areas, but you will not be able to go exploring on your own. U.S. Army Nuclear and Chemical Agency", "Longmire, Conrad L., Theoretical Note 368. A yellow-orange disc was formed, which transformed itself into a purple doughnut. The interview appeared in the Wednesday, March 5, 1947, edition of the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio and read in part as follows: Admiral Richard E. Byrd warned today that the United States should adopt measures of protection against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile planes coming from the polar regions. I really wish someone discovers something about hollow Earth civilization and shakes up the world with it. US Navy operation to establish an Antarctic research base, Diving Under Antarctic Ice: A History Peter Brueggeman, United States Antarctic Service Expedition, Capt. The helicopters and PBMs also flew photo missions along the coasts. Among other losses, a PBM had been blown overboard off Currituck in a massive ocean storm prior to reaching the objective and disappeared in the high waves. An unclassified report, however, confirms that these measurements were successfully made and that a subsequent theory (which is the one now used) was developed which describes the mechanism by which the high-altitude EMP is generated. [8] In a crew profile, deckman Edward Beardsley described his worst memory as "when Seaman Vance Woodall died on the Ross Ice Shelf under a piece of roller equipment designed to 'pave' the ice to build an airstrip. Operation Highjump commenced 26 August 1946 and ended in late February 1947. ~Yahweh (God). This work was directed toward the development of a layered, compacted-snow runway on deep snow which would support aircraft weighing up to 155,000 pounds with tires on the main wheels inflated to 135 psi; it was only partially successful. It was the support also of the heavenly bodies ( Genesis 1:14 ), and is spoken of as having windows and doors ( Genesis 7:11 ; Isaiah 24:18 ; Malachi 3:10 ) through which the rain and snow might descend. The next event to occur is operation fishbowl project Dominic (1962), translated it reads fishbowl of the Lord, a very peculiar name wouldnt you say? . Burning rocket fuel, flowing through the cable trenches, caused extensive chemical contamination of the trenches and the equipment associated with the cabling in the trenches. Press Esc to cancel. The nuclear yield was reported in most official documents only as being less than 20 kilotons. The first planned test of Operation Fishbowl was on June 2, 1962 when a nuclear warhead was launched from Johnston Island on a Thor missile just after midnight. "Spacecraft Charging Effects on Satellites Following Starfish Event. When a lake was discovered in a large ice-free patch of land, a PBM landed to scoop up water samples. And Elohim said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear. And it came to be so. United States Central Intelligence Agency. Most of the measurements reported were made aboard the seaplane tender USS CURRITUCK. His 4th expedition to Antarctica. Byrds fourth expedition, called Operation Highjump, in the summer of 194647, was the most massive sea and air operation theretofore attempted in Antarctica. Corrections? In other words, the Central Group would have been obliged to turn about and get out of the pack before being able to erect Little America No. The Earth's magnetic field lines arc high above the Earth until they reach the magnetic conjugate area in the opposite hemisphere. Required fields are marked *. Flying out ahead of the icebreakers to search for clear passages through the ice, the helicopters served as the eyes of the fleet. Some of the missile parts fell on Johnston Island, and a large amount of missile debris fell into the ocean in the vicinity of the island. Eighty-two days after the failure of Bluegill Prime, about 30 minutes before midnight on the night of October 15, 1962, local Johnston Island time (October 16 UTC), another attempt was made at the Bluegill test. The United States completed six high-altitude nuclear tests in 1958, but the high-altitude tests of that year raised a number of questions. Heres a quote from Dr. John Mack, Dept. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. One official report stated, "In the first case, acuity for central vision was 20/400 initially, but returned to 20/25 by six months. "[9], Two cases of retinal damage did occur with military personnel on Johnston Island during the Bluegill Triple Prime test. By H+1 the green had become dull gray, but the feature persisted for 3 hours. On August 26, 1946, chief of U.S. naval operations Admiral Chester Nimitz announced that a massive combined military expedition dubbed Operation Highjump would be launched into Antarctica in December during summer in the Southern Hemisphere. A second Mariner suffered damage to its nose. Operation Highjump (OpHjp) put nearly 5000 U.S. military personnel along with every resource available at the Navy's disposal in the hands of Admiral Richard Byrd, the Operations Leader of the U.S. It was officially reported as being in the submegaton range (meaning more than 200 kilotons but less than one megaton), and most observers of the U.S. nuclear testing programs believe that the nuclear yield was about 400 kilotons. NASAs Inconvenient Truth: Its NOT Too Big a Conspiracy! In 1958, Lewis Strauss, then chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, opposed doing any high-altitude tests at locations that had been used for earlier Pacific nuclear tests. The operation involved 13 ships, more than 4,700 personnel and a variety of aircraft, including newly purchased helicopters. The waters were divided before the earth was formed. "~" indicates a likely pro-forma rough location, shared with other tests in that same area. Seed War Dead Sea Scrolls Reveal The Secrets of the End Times & The Mystery Religion of The Deep State. Flight-test vehicles were designed and manufactured by Avco Corporation. Two low-yield tests, Checkmate and Tightrope, were also added during the project, so the final number of tests in Operation Fishbowl was five. Operation Highjump was chronicled in a film shot by military photographers and narrated by Hollywood actors Robert Taylor, Robert Montgomery and Van Heflin, all of whom had served in the Navy during WWII. The gold was hammered into thin sheets then laid over the surface of the alter. Operation Highjump included a staggering 13 ships, aircraft escort, aircraft carrier, a submarine, two destroyers and a total of 4,700 men with full battle gear in . Has modern science discovered the firmament? Raqa is the process of hammering out a piece of gold or other metal into thin plates which was then applied to a carved or molten image. This has always been denied by the US Military. No space. Australian Antarctic Data Center. a workman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts for it silver chains. The word overlay is the verb root raqa. BIBLICAL EARTH BUZZ ALDRIN ADMITS THEY FAKED THE MOON LANDING (SPACE IS A LIE), CIA, Russia, NASA, US Army Docs: Motionless Flat Earth. #111 Is UFO Secrecy Deepening? He was a highly decorated service member achieving the Medal of Honor and had an unquenchable thirst for exploring the unknown. Although Byrd was chosen to lead the mission for a rather specific reason, which I will later explain, he was quite qualified and a favourite amongst the American publicthe perfect candidate of choice by U.S. Navy and Top Brass. The rakia supported the upper reservoir ( Psalms 148:4 ). Cold-Weather Engineering, Chapters 1 to 5, 1949 [122 Pages, 41.30 MB]. Forget other planets with aliens, we don't even know our own planet just because some arrogant, greedy elites want to suppress that information. There had been concern that eyeburn problems might occur during the earlier Starfish Prime test, since the countdown was rebroadcast by radio stations in Hawaii, and many civilians would be watching the thermonuclear detonation as it occurred,[9] but no such problems in Hawaii were reported.
