Admiral Byrd's Diary

The alleged flight log: green valleys past the pole, and craft that escorted him in.

The alleged February 1947 flight log — green valleys past the pole, escorted by disc craft, an audience with beings who warned about the atom — surfaced decades after Byrd's death, and his family calls it fabrication. The believers' counterpoints: Highjump's fleet came home early and battered, Byrd's own strange press remarks in Chile, and the fact that the admiral's real diaries remain, in part, held privately. A forgery, probably. A perfectly aimed one.
