In nineteen forty-six, the United States launched Operation Highjump, one of the largest Antarctic expeditions in history — over four thousand troops, warships, and aircraft sent to the frozen continent under the command of Admiral Richard Byrd. Officially, it was a mission for exploration and training. But decades of declassified documents, eyewitness reports, and missing footage tell a much stranger story. In this episode of The Declassified Files, host Ben Carter investigates the real objectives of Operation Highjump — and the theories that still surround it. From secret Cold War operations and rumored Nazi bases to unexplained aircraft encounters, we uncover what was really hidden beneath the ice. Because in Antarctica, truth is buried deeper than the snow. 🌐 Visit: www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com🔒 Subscribe on Patreon: Get complete video episodes, exclusive bonus content, and full access to everything on The Forbidden Knowledge Network.👉 https://www.patreon.com/theforbiddenknowledgenetwork #declassified, #antarctica, #operationhighjump, #mystery, #forbiddenknowledge
