I'm a natural. So I started the channel talking about science and weird stuff. And it was the hardest thing I ever did. It was like impossible to do. And I started out like following all the consultants. High energy, smash the like, be a YouTuber, top 10 list. And I did that for a little while. It's like, ah, no one's watching. This feels stupid. And then I just, I said, fuck it.
Let me just talk about the shit I want to talk about. So I think the first good one was Operation High Jump. Admiral Byrd goes down to Antarctica with an armed fleet supposedly looking for Nazi UFOs, and it's a six-month mission, and in a few days they have to turn back, and it's crazy stuff. So I did that story, and I think I got 50,000 views. I don't think I saw that one. It's an old one.

All right. Admiral Byrd goes down. This is just after the war. Remember, the Nazis were fleeing to South America, so mostly Argentina. So the Nazis had established or tried to establish a base in Antarctica. That's true. It's New Schwabenland. Now, people say they were trying to build a Nazi base and all that stuff. They were really just looking for a whaling station to get oil.

So Hitler didn't want to rely on outside sources. So anyway, after the war, they go down there. We still don't really know specifically why. It was supposed to be just to see how our aircraft would operate in cold weather. That was what they said. But this was a fleet that was armed to the teeth, like super armed. The first helicopters were the destroyers. So they go down there.

It's supposed to be a multi-month mission, maybe six months. They get down there and in like a matter of weeks, maybe even fewer, they just bail. And no one really knows why. There's a press contingent there. No one knows what's going on. And Admiral Byrd starts giving these weird interviews, and the first one was in Spanish. It might have been either Argentinian or Brazilian newspaper.

And he talks about how there could be these craft that attack the United States from the poles and craft that can fly pole to pole. And people are like, what's that? And just sparked this crazy stuff. And you can hear him talking about these things. So High Jump goes down there to look for stuff. We don't really know why they left. Admiral Byrd was talking about these crafts?

Admiral Richard E. Byrd, this famous guy, flew the North Pole like a super badass. He was on paper the commanding officer, but he preferred to just fly his plane and do stuff. So the legend is they get down there. Admiral Byrd takes his plane, starts flying across Antarctica and sees patches of green. He doesn't, can't believe it. And he's on the radio saying, I'm seeing this rolling hills.

Sun is shining. He keeps flying. It gets greener and greener. And then he's like, I just saw woolly mammoths, woolly mammoths grazing in the green. And he keeps going and he's on the radio. And then he's talking, I'm seeing all this stuff. The sun is bright. And then radio contact goes out. He's flying and flying. Suddenly he's engulfed in light and he doesn't know where he is.
