Antarctica, the last true wilderness on Earth, has immense potential to advance our understanding of human history. However, due to its sheer size of 5.5 million square miles, further exploration may be necessary, particularly of its waters, following a recent discovery that could provide evidence of aliens on Earth.

In 1964, during an exploration of Antarctica, the Soviet icebreaker Eltanin came across an unusual antenna. Since then, geologists have theorized that the antenna may have originated from an extraterrestrial civilization, leading to various speculations.

The 1960s and 1970s were marked by two significant events that fueled speculation about extraterrestrial life: the NASA Apollo moon landings and a remarkable discovery in Antarctica. The Eltanin find, an antenna about three meters long with a rounded end, was covered in efflorescences of powdered calcium carbonate. Scientists initially proposed five possibilities for its origin: a meteorite, an iceberg, a volcano, a glacier, or alien technology.

The antenna was a hexagonal metal shape, approximately four centimeters across, with five small holes above a central circular opening that resembled an eye. It looked similar to a microphone, raising questions as to why aliens would employ such a communication device.

This peculiar object became known as the “mysterious alien antenna” or “Eltanin Antenna”, which led to speculation that extraterrestrial beings used it for intercommunication by transmitting messages.

The mystery surrounding the Eltanin antenna exemplifies the knowledge scientists have gained about our possible extraterrestrial visitors. In 1964, the Soviet Union deployed a radio telescope to a remote region of Antarctica, where they discovered an eight-meter-wide metal sphere surmounted by an antenna. This find ignited further speculation about its purpose and use.

If we want to search for well-preserved alien remains on Earth, Antarctica offers the most promising starting point. The climate in this region plays a crucial role in effectively preserving ancient alien technology without succumbing to elemental degradation.

While the treasures hidden under the snow on this continent have enormous potential, the artifacts submerged in its deep oceans may be easier to discover. The discovery of the mysterious alien antenna discussed in this account was made by a ship exploring the pitch-black, icy waters of this massive ice formation.

Named the Eltanin Antenna after the ship that found it, this out-of-place object was discovered deep in the icy waters of Antarctica. The Eltanin, weighing 2,000 tons, served as a cargo transport icebreaker for the US Navy before being repurposed as an oceanographic research vessel in 1962. On August 29, 1964, the ship collected samples of cores and captured photographs of the seafloor, including the first-known image of the alien antenna. The discovery remained hidden from the public for several months before its eventual release, although subsequent research on the antenna was done predominantly in secret.

Limited information about the Eltanin and its findings is derived solely from the ship’s records. Some experts have tried to discredit its extraterrestrial origin, suggesting instead that the object represents a carnivorous sponge that dwells on the frigid seafloor. However, their arguments are based on the same evidence.

To this day, no definitive explanation has emerged for the suspicious object resting on the Antarctic seabed, leaving it shrouded in mystery.
