Thank you. Welcome back to the UFO Rabbit Hole podcast. I'm your host, Kelly Chase. Today, we begin part four of our series on Nazis

and UFOs with what is perhaps one of the most mysterious and beloved chapters of UFO lore,

the existence of a secret Nazi base in Antarctica. It's a matter of established historical record

In the last episode, we explored some of the possibilities,

ranging from the lost civilization of Atlantis to secret and potentially ancient alien bases hidden beneath the ice.

And as outlandish and surprising as those theories may be,

there's another possibility that is stranger and more tantalizing still. This theory

has captured the imagination of many who have explored the icy depths of this chapter of the

UFO lore, perhaps more than any other. Not just because of its mystical and mystifying nature,

but because of the fact that despite its seeming impossibility, this theory appears to be

well supported through historical records and events. And that theory is that what the Nazis found in

Antarctica was the entrance to a vast and dazzling interior world, hiding deep underground. The entrance to hollow earth. The hollow earth theory is the
