The
hollow earth conspiracy theory was first brought to the public attention, by American
naval officer and explorer Admiral Richard Byrd. Admiral Richard Byrd (A.R.B.)
started flying back in 1947 in Boston MA. He claimed that he had flown over
Antarctica’s south pole and happened to fly inside of a huge ice glacier. He
said he ended up seeing green lush vegetation and witnessed flying vehicles.
Once he returned to Boston, he had a live television interview. A.R.B.
described his sightings at the south pole of Antarctica, “I believe I flew
inside of the inner earth” ("Admiral
Richard E. Byrd” 1). Two of
the conspiracy theories concerning A.R.B. and the hollow Earth is that A.R.B never
flew over the Antarctica south pole and A.R.B. was just making up stories for
notoriety. Let’s explore whether the hollow Earth theories are true.
Admiral Byrd was an interesting man
with four kids and a wife. The Winchester VA native, seemingly grasping for hope…
A.R.B. wanted the public to believe him when he came back from his trip and reported
what he witnessed. He went on live television and explained his sightings at
Antarctica’s north pole. A.R.B wanted the public to know his experience was
believable. The American Naval Officer really
wanted to tie the knot with the public and convince them that he was telling
the truth. It was tough trying to prove his point across to other people mostly
cause Admiral Byrd was describing his experiences such as seeing flying
vehicles and green lush vegetation. Dr.
R.W. Bernard, a biographer, stated that “he would have no reason to use such a
term as "Land of Everlasting Mystery” (Bernard 1).
A.R.B. as well as the public was quite curious to discover what was in
the south pole of Antarctica. Reports in the newspapers stressed that his
experience was false and couldn’t be true. Admiral Byrd the once American naval
officer, knew that since he was an American aviator that people would believe
him and his sightings at the south pole. A.R.B. was brave and adventurous for
exploring Antarctica’s south pole and discovering something people had never
seen by eye before. When A.R.B. passed away on 3/11/1957, at the age of 69, the
conspiracy theory surrounding his discovery became less prevalent. Considering
A.R.B. had four kids and a wife, it would seem plausible that one of them would
continue his obsession. Some reporters took that into consideration and really
started to think that his story was false.
The
newspapers were mentioning that the Naval officer A.R.B. was just making up a
big story for “popularity”. He was already well known in the Naval academy. And
with his “knew discovery,” he was trying to grab more attention for himself.
According to Gralien Report,” The
Hollow Earth: The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History Made by Admiral
Richard E. Byrd in the Mysterious Land Beyond the Poles, was published in
1964 by Raymond W. Bernard” (“The Truth About”). Admiral Byrd gained even more
popularity and people believed his stories when he published his book with all
his experiences from an Antarctica. Even though lots of people criticized
A.R.B., he remained humble and tried his best to persuade people that his
discovery was true.
Admiral
R. Byrd, sightings became true through some people. Lots of people agreed with
Byrd due to his telling’s of his experience at the south pole of Antarctica. New York Times stated that “he went on
to become the first person to fly over the South Pole and lead several
expeditions to Antarctica, for which The New York Times had exclusive story
rights”. People all over instantly believed him and wanted to hear more of his
story. Byrd gained major publicity off his experience. In 1947 Admiral Byrd made
history with his conspiracy theory and with that came beliefs in what he tried to
make everyone a believer. A man
by the name of Amadeo Giannini, also known as A.P. was an American banker who founded
the bank of Italy, which became back of America. He was a newspaper writer who failed
to do any fact checking and he rushed the story to print. Ounce people saw the
article in the newspaper, they instantly thought that it was true. When Admiral Byrd flew beyond the poles he
had proven Giannini correct – the earth did not end at the poles but continued
into “vast new lands”. When Admiral Byrd passed away, his family felt as if
they should continue to spread his theory and make people believe in what he
witnessed at the South Pole. The survey conducted, six out of sixteen people
said that they believed A.R.B. theory on the Hollow Earth.
A.R.B.
attacked those critics who doubted his claim about him reaching Antarctica’s
south pole. As Byrd describes his sightings and its quite thrilling, it makes
people think A.R.B. was just making up a story. Many people thought Admiral
Byrd did not even travel to the South Pole, as he came back with no proof that
he traveled there. Rumors say that Byrd was just trying to gain publicity for himself
as well as his family. A.R.B.’s bizarre stories were just not adding up to some
people even though he was an American Naval Officer and had considerable notoriety.
A.R.B. had a lot of false claims stating that he lied about his experience. For
instance, this report states that.
Somewhere
along the way there had been added an expedition that no history book had even
mentioned … a 1947 Arctic expedition. By this time, I was aware of the cover-up
of the real reasons for the Admirals Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. I was
also aware of Admiral Byrd’s connections to the Illuminati and their plans for
a New World Order and of his early Arctic and Antarctic explorations having
been financed by their paymaster, John D. Rockefeller and his pals. I’ll be
coving these aspects in future reports in this series. ("Missing Secret
Diary of Admiral Byrd - Fact or Fiction?")
Evidence suggests that Admiral Byrd did not see
the lush green vegetation and flying vehicles, and similarly, when sixteen COM
students were surveyed, ten students believed that the stories were made up.
A
third conspiracy theory concerns a
guy who is a big believer in the Hollow Earth theory. In 2012, a cast had
interviewed a guy by the name of Agnew Brooks. Brooks was an honor graduate in
chemistry from Tennessee Technological University. He also has been featured scientist
on History Channel, Tru TV, and numerous documentaries. He explains his beliefs
in the Hollow Earth. In the interview Brooks mentioned that “the hole in the
ice could be 100 miles wide”. During the interview, Brooks spoke upon how
exactly he was going to the South Pole. The curious man briefly responded back
to the question stating that “the helicopter is going to give us a good prospective,
and with that you can see far over the horizon rather than a ship.” The Hollow
Earth theory was first ever bought up way back in the 1700’s. A guy by the name
of Edmond Halley was the first person to ever bring up the Hollow Earth. Halley
was an English astronomer, geophysicist, mathematician, and meteorologist. An
article written by Matt Simon in 2014 mentioned that Halley’s name when he
said, “Edmond Halley noticed that the earth’s magnetic field is rather
unpredictable, with the lines shifting from year to year”. Again, this is another
theory that discredits Admiral Byrd’s flight to the Antarctica’s south pole
because there is no evidence to support that he flew there.
Conspiracy theories are meant to be believable or not believable. In Admiral
Byrd case when he reportedly flew to the “inner earth,” he left a lot of people
curious. In 1947, the American Naval officer made history, although people had
their own personal options about him, A.R.B. still stuck to his own story and eventually
turned non-believers into believers. Ten years after Byrd’s adventure to the
Antarctica, in 1957 Admiral Byrd passed away. His theory went silent as his
family still mentions what A.R.B. once did that changed humans’ minds on conspiracy
theories.
