00:00
in 2002 a Californian film crew succumb
00:03
to the icy conditions of the Antarctic
00:05
never to be seen again it's become a
00:08
story peppered with mystery and
00:09
controversy one which conspiracy
00:12
theorists have obsessed over we still
00:14
don't know exactly what happened to them
00:17
however newly uncovered video footage
00:19
that the crew recorded suggests that
00:21
they found what they were looking for
00:22
ancient civilizations that were masked
00:25
by the ice could that have been the
00:27
reason they disappeared and what are the
00:29
chances they actually survived let's dig
00:32
a little further into the story shall we
00:36
the back story of the missing crew on
00:38
the surface Antarctica is nothing but
00:41
cold dry ice sheets of ice cover about
00:44
98% of the entire continent what's
00:47
underneath however tells an entirely
00:49
different story and that's what the
00:51
long-gone film crew wanted to explore
00:53
the mystery all began back in November
00:56
of 2002 as part of a filmmaking
00:58
expedition to the Antarctic the Beverly
01:00
Hills based crew equipped with cameras
01:02
capable of withstanding the deadly
01:04
conditions sets sail with the hope of
01:06
recording evidence of underground cities
01:08
proof of ancient civilizations and even
01:11
hints of the lost city of Atlantis the
01:13
crew they were from a company called
01:15
Atlantis TV so the name was certainly
01:18
fitting well it's a tragedy for anyone
01:21
to fall victim to the Antarctic or
01:23
anywhere for that matter this film crew
01:25
story has been talked about as one of
01:27
the most unique and mysterious
01:29
disappearances
01:30
to have ever happened in the icy region
01:33
why is that exactly
01:35
well part of the reason is because it's
01:38
one of the few cases in history where
01:39
the missing persons have played second
01:42
fiddle in the investigation instead all
01:44
eyes of both the public and the
01:46
government have been on the hidden ruins
01:48
which apparently the film crew actually
01:50
found buried deep below the Antarctic
01:52
Ice Sheet a missing-persons case is hard
01:55
enough in regular built up civilizations
01:58
but down in the Antarctic
01:59
it becomes near impossible let's look at
02:02
it compared to the United States at 14
02:05
million square kilometers over 8.5
02:07
million square miles the Antarctic is
02:10
almost double the size of the contiguous
02:12
US
02:13
here's the thing though while close to
02:15
330 million people live in the United
02:18
States the population of Antarctica
02:20
hovers right around 3,000 in the summer
02:23
and 400 in the winter so not only is
02:27
there more land to get lost in but
02:30
there's fewer residents around to help
02:31
find the missing people with that in
02:34
mind
02:34
unfortunately explorers go missing all
02:37
the time the harsh climate is said to
02:39
have taken hundreds of prisoners over
02:41
the years some discovered some not one
02:48
year before the crew went missing let's
02:50
rewind the year before the film crew
02:52
went missing a pivotal point in the
02:54
story in 2001 satellite images revealed
02:57
that something was hidden under the
02:59
Antarctic ice and you can find it at
03:01
these coordinates here granted some
03:03
images from satellites only give one
03:05
perspective however it was enough to
03:07
trigger interest from people around the
03:09
globe including the Atlantis TV crew in
03:12
the same year military observers took
03:14
notice that some robotic devices were
03:16
being shipped to the South Pole from the
03:18
USA although we'll never know for sure
03:21
since authorities have remained
03:23
hush-hush about it many are convinced
03:25
that the US Air Force had transported
03:27
their enormous nuclear-powered
03:28
tunnel-boring machine called the sub
03:30
train down there which is used for
03:32
drilling through hard rock by comparison
03:34
using it for ice drilling would have
03:36
been a piece of cake
03:38
so with all of this intriguing
03:40
mysterious news coming to light it's no
03:44
wonder that Atlantis TV wanted to
03:45
investigate the odds of them surviving
03:48
when they got there as we know the crew
03:51
made the trek down to the vast Antarctic
03:53
but they never made it back does this
03:55
mean that they perished Wow we'll never
03:58
really know for sure without any bodies
04:00
being found but it's easy to assume that
04:02
they met their fate here's why
04:04
temperatures down there have Pullman
04:06
it's a negative 128 point 6 degrees
04:09
Fahrenheit or negative 89 point two
04:11
degrees Celsius which is unimaginable
04:14
for most of us according to CBS News and
04:17
temperatures of minus 50 degrees
04:19
Fahrenheit all it takes is five minutes
04:22
for hypothermia to set in and for organs
04:24
to start shutting down even in
04:26
conditions of zero
04:27
degrees Farenheit there's a touch of
04:29
wind frostbite can occur in just 30
04:32
minutes
04:32
if the crew did somehow find themselves
04:36
below the icy surface they could have
04:37
faced the wrath of sub glacial lakes as
04:39
well which can be fatal in less than 15
04:42
minutes with shock sitting in during the
04:44
first hundred and twenty seconds and
04:45
there wouldn't have been much if any
04:47
time for shelter saying as Antarctica is
04:49
nothing but vast ice sheets so as you
04:52
can see barring a miracle in which the
04:55
Atlantis TV crew made it to a base in
04:58
which case it would have been strangely
05:00
kept secret sadly there's very little
05:03
chance that the crew made it out alive
05:06
new evidence well we don't know for
05:09
certain what happened to the humans
05:11
themselves evidence in the form of
05:13
discovered video footage shows us
05:15
something rather miraculous ancient
05:18
ruins hidden below the ice that could
05:21
prove to be what the missing crew saw in
05:23
their final moments the video was
05:25
actually uncovered accidentally by the
05:27
Navy SEALs during their search for the
05:29
missing Californians apparently this
05:31
footage which was found in an abandoned
05:33
supply dump about 100 miles west of the
05:35
Russian Bostic Research Station rooves
05:37
the existence of a massive archeological
05:39
dig that goes as far down as two miles
05:42
beneath the surface of the ice when the
05:44
two Navy SEALs who found the footage
05:46
actually watched the video according to
05:48
National Science Foundation researchers
05:50
at the amundsen-scott station at the
05:52
South Pole the seals reaction was
05:54
nothing less than starstruck the
05:57
researchers claimed that the seals said
05:59
that it showed spectacular ruins and
06:01
other things that they couldn't go into
06:03
clearly there's a lot of mystery
06:06
regarding the whole thing and
06:07
understandably people still have their
06:09
doubts however a lot of the doubters
06:12
were left scratching their heads a
06:14
number of years later when yet another
06:16
discovery was made at the beginning of
06:18
2017 according to the sun-god CEO at UK
06:21
scientists discovered a massive object
06:24
lurking beneath the Antarctic frozen
06:26
wasteland a so-called anomaly that
06:28
stretches 151 miles and dies close to
06:32
2,800 feet where 848 metres below the
06:36
surface it ties in with something called
06:38
the Wilkes land
06:39
and gravity anomaly essentially a
06:42
massive crater that was discovered when
06:44
NASA satellites spotted gravitational
06:46
changes in 2006 for these changes to
06:49
occur it's likely that there was a
06:51
massive object sitting in the middle of
06:53
the crater some believe that this crater
06:55
is even the scene of the meteor strike
06:57
that wiped out the dinosaurs
06:58
now of course believe what you like but
07:01
there's even some left-field people who
07:03
believe that all of this has something
07:05
to do with the legendary lost city of
07:08
Atlantis but we'll leave that one up to
07:10
you to weigh in on the controversy of
07:13
the video it's no surprise that
07:15
something carrying this much mystery has
07:18
seen its fair share of controversy back
07:20
when the footage was found the US
07:22
government is said to have come out and
07:23
stated that they'd stopped the video
07:25
from going to air but on the other side
07:27
of the ledger the lawyers who
07:29
represented the Atlantis TV crew
07:30
declared that if the government big
07:32
shots tried to sweep this under the rug
07:34
that they would vigorously oppose it
07:36
because the government had no right to
07:38
censor material that is clearly in the
07:40
public interest and public domain
07:43
initially the lawyers stressed that the
07:45
company's primary concern was obviously
07:47
finding the crew but once it became a
07:49
lost cause attention quickly switched
07:51
from the crew to the video plus
07:54
officially the US has no jurisdiction
07:57
down in Antarctica because thanks to the
07:59
Antarctic Treaty in 1959 now signed by
08:01
54 countries no single country actually
08:04
owns Antarctica so at the end of the day
08:07
the Atlantis TV message about the
08:09
footage was simple we shot it it's ours
08:12
and as soon as this rightfully returned
08:14
to us we're going to airy and a story
08:17
then again the US Naval Support task
08:20
force over in Antarctica denied the
08:22
story and the footage altogether so take
08:25
it all with a grain of salt I suppose
08:26
why the ancient civilization could
08:29
indeed be real that being said there is
08:32
plenty of reason and plenty of evidence
08:35
to suggest that everything we've heard
08:37
is true there really could have been a
08:40
thriving civilization down in Antarctica
08:43
that the Atlantis TV crew uncovered
08:45
before it was nothing but ice around
08:48
100 million years ago Antarctica was
08:50
covered in towering lush forests
08:53
scientists have regularly excavated
08:55
entire fossilized logs which helped to
08:58
prove this plus we're constantly
09:00
discovering new fascinating things
09:02
buried beneath the surface
09:04
there's sub glacial canyons that dwarf
09:06
the Grand Canyon underwater flowing
09:09
rivers including the 15 million year old
09:11
lake vostok which has even developed its
09:13
own high and low tide system plus gold
09:15
sputtering volcanoes like Mount Erebus
09:17
that are unlike anything else geologists
09:21
have ever seen so while it might appear
09:24
as nothing but an endless icy wasteland
09:26
the largest desert in the world in fact
09:28
that's only what we're seeing right now
09:31
before the ice age it was an entirely
09:34
different story it's also worth noting
09:36
that there are two kinds of Antarctic
09:38
ice land ice and sea ice while sea ice
09:42
as you might have guessed sits atop the
09:44
water underneath the land ice is miles
09:47
of solid land so there's plenty of room
09:50
for Barry ruins in 2016 some remote
09:53
sensor photos taken by NASA during the
09:56
operation IceBridge mission appeared to
09:58
reveal traces of human settlement within
10:00
this underground land ice as well
10:03
cover-up understandably some folks think
10:06
that it's all part of a massive
10:08
government cover-up while it's easy to
10:11
poke holes in this theory let's
10:13
entertain it for a moment switching
10:14
things up let's head to the north the
10:16
Arctic not the enteric in October of
10:18
2016
10:19
around 600 miles from the North Pole in
10:21
a place called alexandra land russian
10:24
scientists discovered the remnants of a
10:26
secret german army base that was set up
10:28
in 1942 its purpose was supposedly to
10:31
gather weather reports from the area
10:32
while it was only functional for two
10:35
years it managed to remain a secret for
10:38
more than seventy so considering that
10:40
we've witnessed proof of secret
10:41
locations hidden at the North Pole
10:43
why couldn't there be secrets galore
10:46
down in the south as well why it could
10:48
not be real as the devil's advocate
10:50
would say there's truck loads that we
10:52
could focus on that would squash
10:54
everything Atlantis TV has claimed first
10:57
of all the presence of this rare video
10:59
footage of the hidden ruin
11:01
doesn't conclude exactly what happened
11:03
to the film crew without contact from
11:05
the crew themselves everything is
11:08
hearsay and the validity and credibility
11:10
of the footage well it still has a
11:12
couple of question marks furthermore
11:14
with such little information about the
11:16
crew actually available to the public
11:18
including their names we might still
11:21
need some more evidence to fully solve
11:22
this mystery that's all for the mystery
11:26
of the missing Californian film crew do
