RUINS OF A CITY FOUND IN ANTARCTICA?

A California TV crew missing since November 2002, a video 
they left behind and a mission by U.S. Navy SEALs are the 
key elements in a story that claims extensive ancient
ruins have been found under the ice of Antarctica. 

A spokesman for the company is reported to have said at 
the time that "The U.S. government said it will seek to 
block the airing of a video found by Navy rescuers in 
Antarctica that purportedly reveals that a massive 
archaeological dig is underway two miles (3,200 meters) 
beneath the ice." 

"The AtlantisTV production crew that shot the video is 
still missing." 

Attorneys for the Beverly Hills-based AtlantisTV stressed 
atthe time that the company's primary concern was for the 
safety and welfare of the crew. 

But they stated they would vigorously oppose any attempts 
to censor material that is clearly in the public interest 
and public domain. 

The icy continent of Antarctica, they pointed out, belongs 
to no nation. The U.S. has no jurisdiction there." 

"That video is the property of AtlantisTV, said a company 
spokesman, We shot it. It's ours. And as soon as it is 
rightfully restored to us, were going to air it. End of 
story." 

WATCHED BY NAVY OFFICERS

"Two Navy officers who saw the tape described its contents 
to National Science Foundation (NSF) researchers upon their 
return to the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole.

So reported sources at McMurdo Station, the main American 
base in Antarctica." 

They said it showed spectacular ruins and other things 
they couldn't go into, an NSF scientist reported. 

"We chalked it up to some kind of subzero-induced delusion," 
he said, "until a helicopter full of Navy SEALs landed and 
picked them up and took off. Now, were scratching our 
heads." 

Officials of the U.S. Naval Support Task Force in 
Antarctica predictably denied the story or the possession 
of any video shot by the missing AtlantisTV crew.

Navy sources said they found the video in an abandoned 
supply dump 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Vokstok 
Station.
