In the winter of 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd allegedly flew a secret mission across the frozen waters of the arctic. There, he claimed to have seen a previously unknown land with forests and even prehistoric animals. Even more incredible, he encountered flying discs from a technologically advanced civilization hidden deep within the hollow Earth. This incredible adventure is revealed in Byrd's diary which had been missing for many years. Had it been sealed away by the U.S. government in fear of the haunting message given to Byrd by the inhabitants of the hollow Earth? Or is the truth even more shocking? We now know that at the time referenced in Byrd's missing diary, he had actually been part of the Navy mission to Antarctica called Operation Highjump. This mission may have been a massive operation to uncover a secret Nazi stronghold hidden away in Antarctica...a stronghold that allegedly had a connection to Hitler's search for the entrance into the hollow Earth. This is the mystery. What is the secret of Admiral Richard E. Byrd's Missing Diary? Is it government disinformation to hide Byrd's search for the last remnants of the Third Reich? Or is it a warning for the inhabitants of the surface world..."Change your warlike ways before it is too late!" Admiral Richard E. Byrd's Missing Diary is a shocking revelation of the mystery of the Hollow Earth and the possible secret origin of UFOs, which was called "The Greatest Secret Since the Manhattan Project!"

With Byrd at the Bottom of the World vividly recounts American explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s expedition to the South Pole. From the sublime to the ridiculous, author and fellow explorer Norman D. Vaughan recalls the historic moments, practical jokes, jealousies, and affection among compatriots facing the dangers of a frozen and inhospitable continent.
When this book originally appeared in 1990, it was hailed as an important new work because of the author's access to Adm. Richard E. Byrd's just-released private papers. Previous books on the legendary polar explorer had to rely on sources subject to the admiral's vigilant censorship or the control of his heirs and friends. With this study Eugene Rodgers provides a scrupulously honest and objective account of Byrd's 1929 expedition to Antarctica. Without discrediting the expedition's success or Byrd's leadership, Rodgers shows that the admiral was not the saintly hero he and the press depicted. Nor was the expedition without its problems. Interviews with surviving members of the expedition together with a wealth of other new material indicate that Byrd, contrary to his claims, was not a good navigator--his pilots usually had to find their way by dead reckoning--and that he was not on the actual flight that discovered Marie Byrd Land. The book further reveals a crisis over drunkenness among the men (including Byrd), the admiral's fear of mutiny, and his rewriting of news stories from the pole to embellish his own image.
