Mystery of the Eltanin Antenna

21-Jul-2001



Between 1962 and 1979 the NSF Polar Research Vessel

Object Photographed by USNS Eltanin

Eltanin surveyed Antarctic waters, studying the ocean and ocean bottom. In 1964, the ship photographed an unusual object at a depth of 13,500 feet. At the time, there was no submarine that could have carried a piece of technology to this depth.

The object appears to be a pole rising from the ocean floor with twelve spokes radiating from it, each ending in a sphere. The spokes are at fifteen degree angles to each other. It is located approximately 1,000 miles south of Cape Horn, beneath some of the most inhospitable seas in the world.

Marine biologists have speculated that it might be some sort of an organism, largely because it is otherwise so difficult to explain. However, there is no known form of marine life that looks remotely like this object.

There exists the possibility that it is an antenna or other scientific instrument that was lost by an early research vessel, but once again, this would appear to be a very forced explanation. It seems unlikely that an object could drop through three miles of ocean, and anchor itself on the bottom.

In addition, the position of the antenna is so exact, and so strangely significant, that it would seem almost certain that it was intentionally put there. Who did it, with what technology and why remains unknown. However, it's clear that there could be an enormous secret connected with the Eltanin antenna, and one that might not be entirely unknown to certain members of the scientific community, as will be seen.

Researcher Bruce Cathie, a New Zealander who, among other things, had a famous series of UFO sightings, has developed a theory about the antenna based on its position on the planet. Cathie's theories suggest that the antenna may be part of an ancient planetary grid that is of fundamental importance to an understanding of our planet and the great 25,000 year cycle known as the precession of the equinox.

Could it be possible that the Eltanin Antenna is a piece of ancient technology, or even technology that comes from another world? Cathie certainly thinks so. Other researchers are now suggesting that modern science might be well aware of the purpose of the object, and might be actively monitoring it or using it in some way.

Mr. Cathie considers 144, the harmonic recriprocal of the speed of light, to be an important measure of the earth's grid because it divides into the planet's 21,600 minutes of arc exactly 150 times. An individual interested in Cathie's ideas began measuring outward in steps from the antenna, and to his surprise found that the Prospect Point Antarctic Base is precisely eight of these measures away. Add another unit of 144 and you find two more antarctic bases, Hemus and St. Kilmet.

Remarkably, a whole array of bases and earthquake stations surround the Eltanin Antenna. What this may mean is unknown, but it is certainly suggestive that the Eltanin antenna is no strange marine creature, but rather an object of great importance, that somebody understands very well.

It's a good thing the aliens have divided their circles into the same size arcs as we have (60x360). That number must have universal significance. Without it, we would have never decoded their intentions. It's also a good thing we invented tin foil in time for this. If the aliens had come two hundred years ago, we'd be their slaves for sure.

It seems unlikely that an object could drop through three miles of ocean, and anchor itself on the bottom.

Why? If there were a big honkin' weight on the end of it (like a transducer or power supply), the weight would sink first, taking the antenna with it and burying itself in the sea bottom when it hit.

[Colonel Jim]

Where's my foil? Hold mu beer n Ill go look for some.
Be right back, lol.

[steveo]

good

[strela]

(snicker)

"Go BI ... Go BI ..."

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...they found one of these attached to it.

Then it was worth the trip. I love old radio equipment. If I were to collect as much as I wanted...my wife would divorce me!

[right way right]

Satellite Junk.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Now you get a really dense nickel-iron meteor, whizzing along at 15,000 mph relative to Earth, and it is NOT GOING TO SLOW DOWN to 286 feet per second as it enters the atmosphere

Your talking about deceleration. An object being dropped into water starts at 0 mph and will accelerate as it plunges to the bottom.

I think Rudder's estimation of 400 mph in water is a bit optimistic. Water is 1000 times denser than air and it's unlikely that any object can reach that speed even from from 5 miles up while starting at 0 mph.

[Mulder]

Interesting.... it would have to be pretty massive (low frequency), however, to propagate an EM wave through saltwater.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Where's my foil? Hold mu beer n Ill go look for some.

Liz says, "I've got your tin foil right here, buster. Come grab a piece."

[MHGinTN]

Is there a ship under the thing, buried in the silt?

[SwinneySwitch]

Lead foils them as well as or better than aluminium or tin!

[Calvin Locke]

Now aren't you glad Nicolai Tesla died when he did? Lord knows what he was up to with this contraption.

[Calvin Locke]

One of my thoughts...

Must have been left over from when giants roamed the Earth.

[RandallFlagg]

I was personally thinking of the Tycho Magnetic Anomoly from 2001: A Space Odyssey.....

[raygun]

Maybe the aliens from laminar air-flow world, found out that the stinkin' wind anemometers they just lugged some 40 quintillion mega-quads were worthless and they chucked them overboard in order to lighten up the ballast and take on a load of aerosol can spray nozzles.

It could happen.

[raygun]

Stop that. You know better than that.

stick stick dash stick stick dash stick stick. Stick with a cake attached.

[GATOR NAVY]

My bet is that to be fully illuminated in 13,500 ft of water by '60s technology, whatever that thing is it's pretty small.

[JohnBovenmyer]

The spokes probably would work like feathers on an arrow, tending to keep it falling point first. 13000 foot fall would give it plenty of time to find that stable orientation.
