What Happened - The Mystery of Operation High Jump

In August of 1946, the United States Navy launched an expedition into the uncharted territory of Antarctica. On paper, the mission was a scientific endeavor, and the operation’s official objectives included studying the electromagnetic, geological, and meteorological conditions of the area.

In reality, High Jump was clearly a military operation with five separate task groups, 4,700 men, and more than 13 navy vessels – including an aircraft carrier.

What were they expecting to find in that frozen, dead continent? Why did the Navy feel the need to send so many heavily-armed vessels on a scientific research operation? Perhaps we will never know exactly what Admiral Byrd found out there in that desolate wasteland. Like so many paranormal events in history, Operation High Jump creates more questions than answers.
