	Operation Highjump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Highjump (OpHjp), officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-47, was a United States Navy operation in Antarctica under the command of Richard Cruzen, which was launched on 26 August 1946 and lasted until 1947.
		After the operation ended, a follow-up Operation Windmill returned to the area, citing that a large percentage of the aerial photographs from the earlier mission had been poorly exposed, and needed to be re-shot.
		Operation Highjump has become a topic among UFO conspiracy theorists, who claim it was a covert US military operation to conquer alleged secret underground Nazi facilities in the Antarctica and capture the German Vril flying discs, or Thule mercury-powered spaceship prototypes.

	How High Can You Jump? Operation "Highjump" And The UFO Connection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Operation "High Jump", which was, basically an invasion of the Antarctic, consisted of three Naval battle groups, which departed Norfolk, VA, on 2 December, 1946.
		The operation was also launched with incredible speed, "a matter of weeks." Perhaps it would not be uncharitable to conclude that the Americans had some unfinished business connected with the war in the polar region.
		Firstly, Operation Highjump would have to provide evidence that the mission included a reconnaissance of Neu-Swabenland and secondly, there would have to be an area of the frozen continent that could allow such a base to exist throughout the year.

		In 1946, the US Navy Antarctic Developments Project, or `Operation Highjump', was launched and it was perhaps the biggest single event that the continent had ever seen.
		It was the beginning of the Cold War and the exercise was designed to give US troops experience in polar conditions - 4700 men, 33 aircraft, 13 ships and 10 caterpillar tractors were deployed, and helicopters and icebreakers were used for the first time in Antarctica.

		OPERATION HIGHJUMP was seen as a huge threat to future Latin American claims.
		The official press release by Byrd seemed to confirm their anxiety as OPERATION HIGHJUMP was justified as an "extension" of the United States Navy's "policy of developing the ability of naval forces to operate under any and all climatic conditions".
		Initial approval of OPERATION HIGHJUMP was apparently reached at a meeting of the "Committee of Three" (Secretary of State, Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy) on August 7, 1946.

	L'opération Highjump
		Operations of the Eastern Group commenced in the vicinity of Peter I Island, north of the Bellingshausen Sea, late in December, 1946.
		Highjump had certainly been a rush job, with preparation and training at a minimum in order to race the men and ships south into polar training conditions as quickly as possible.
		When the fueling operation was completed, the fuel line was hauled back aboard the tender, the steady lines from the ship to the plane's wings were cast free, and the rearming boats maneuvered the plane well clear of the ship, and released the securing lines.

		Operations (handles all sensors, such as radar, also includes Communications Division) Gunnery (handles operation and maintenance of ship's weapons (guns, and also ASW weapons when carried), probably also has custody of the ship's explosives supply (icebreakers tended to carry charges of Composition 3 and dynamite for blasting ice floes and the like);
		His mission during HIGHJUMP was to operate PBM Mariner seaplanes from outside the ice belt, flying them over some 300-400 miles of ice inaccessible to ships to the unknown coastline of that section of Antarctica called the "Phantom Coast", which according to Dufek, had "the worst weather in the world"!
		So, when the "Northwind" arrived at New Zealand, for your HIGHJUMP related scenario, she was commanded by an excellent Captain who might have been a DG Friendly (or whatever they were calling them in 1947), and was probably accompanied by a crippled Navy cargo ship which required dry docking to replace the rudder.

	NEXUS: Britain's Secret War in Antarctica.1
		In Admiral Byrd's own words, the mission (code-named Highjump) was "primarily of a military nature".1 Many claim that the task force was sent to eradicate a secret Nazi base in Queen Maud Land, which the Nazis had renamed Neuschwabenland and which had never been explored as profoundly as the rest of the Antarctic.
		Operation Taberlan was activated as a measure of monitoring German activities on the Antarctic continent.
		And with Britain's Intelligence network—the SOE (Special Operations Executive) and the SIS (Secret Intelligence Service)—providing virtually all the information to the Allied Forces via the Enigma machine9 and its immense European spy network during the War, the picture was appearing slowly.

		The Chief of Naval Operations established Operation Windmill as a follow-up to Operation Highjump to train personnel, test equipment, and reaffirm American interests in Antarctica.
		Following Operation Highjump, it was determined that the 70,000 photographs taken during the expedition were impossible to reconstruct in any meaningful way because no ground control reference points had been recorded.
		So, in addition to scientific data gathering and equipment testing, Operation Windmill, and specifically Task Force 39, was charged with determining ground control points from 30 selected locations for use with Aerial photographs taken during Operation Highjump.
