Hi Cold Case Files listeners, Marisa here. Our partners at A&E would like to share a great podcast recommendation with you. From history's incredibly popular TV series Ancient Aliens, you can now listen to the new Ancient Aliens podcast. Using interviews from the show, the Ancient Aliens podcast explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the US, each episode of this hit history series gives historic depth to the questions, speculations, provocative controversies, first-hand accounts, and grounded theories surrounding this age-old debate. Did intelligent

beings from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago? Check out this teaser for the new podcast and listen to Ancient Aliens wherever you get your podcasts. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Georgios Tsoukalos. People love to tell me about their UFO sightings. And it seems like there are more now than ever. Which begs the question, is it possible that aliens actually reside right here on Earth? In this countdown, we take a look at locations around the planet that might be hiding secret outposts

for otherworldly beings. We start at one of the coldest places on Earth, where military whistleblowers describe very strange activity beneath the ice. At number 10 on our countdown of the top 10 hidden alien bases, Antarctica. On the bottom of our planet lies the coldest and most isolated continent in the world, Antarctica. The average daily temperature at the South

Pole is negative 56 degrees Fahrenheit and wind speeds can reach over 100 miles per hour. Today the only inhabitants of this barren landscape are a few thousand scientists who work in the research stations scattered across the continent. But most interesting to ancient astronaut theorists are reports of extraterrestrial activity that is hidden under Antarctica's ice. This is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. Something seems to be going on on this mysterious continent at the South Pole. And it has been theorized by a number of people that Antarctica is some kind of alien base. One of the earliest accounts of

extraterrestrial activity in Antarctica can be found in a curious report from the 1930s. During World War II the Nazis used U-boats to go down to Antarctica and explore it. Allegedly they found some of these caverns beneath the ice and technology which perhaps came from extraterrestrials." After the Nazis were defeated in 1945, the U.S. military sent an expedition to Antarctica. According to reports, soon after the expedition arrived, they encountered alien craft coming up out of the water. Here is Richard Dolan, a historian and author of UFOs and the National Security State. Antarctica has had a number of interesting UFO types of events since the 1940s that were very well documented.

Is it possible that Antarctica is not only home to an extraterrestrial presence, but is the location of a hidden alien base? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to shocking disclosures from those on the ground that validate these claims. In February 2019 investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe interviewed a former Navy flight engineer about his experience on the condition that she'd not reveal his identity. Her source, who is identified as Brian, provided her with details of a mysterious structure he claims to have seen during his time in Antarctica. According to Brian, sometime around October 1985, he and his team were instructed to fly from McMurdo Station to Davis Camp to pick up an injured scientist, a trip that would take about six hours. However, they received strict orders to avoid flying over a so-called air sampling station

that was along the most direct route. So we were given orders to deviate. I believe it was 30-mile deviation away from the air sampling station. The officers on board suggested that we fly straight over the air sampling station and not deviate, and that would save us 30 minutes. It was a no-fly zone.

It was a no-fly zone for that specific region around the pole. When the crew flew over the area where the air sampling station was supposed to be, what they observed was something much different. There was this giant indentation that looked like a hole in the ice that looked like a snow ramp the ice that looked like a

snow ramp that went down into it. The polar plateau at South Pole is completely flat. There are no holes there. Now there's this big large hole in the ice that stood out like a sore thumb. It should not have been there. Is it possible that the strange hole that Brian saw was the entrance to a secret, even extraterrestrial, base that is hidden in Antarctica. Nick Pope is a former official from the UK Ministry of Defence. When we think about the

location of an alien base, our attention should immediately focus on Antarctica. It's the perfect location for an extraterrestrial base if something was coming to and from Earth, but wanted a permanent presence here. A base beneath the ice of Antarctica would be a great location for extraterrestrials to hide out. But there is another compelling site in China where it's said that alien craft emerge not from under the ice, but from deep underwater. There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promise of truth. It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. The evidence is all around us. The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone. We have never been alone.
