Did Admiral Byrd really encounter aliens?

No. The so-called diary or Flight log ( very much edited , no mention of such by-the-book protocols as navigation points, courses, even serial numbers and radio call-signs of craft ( as even Amelia Earhart used). The log or diary is something of wishful thinking and does loosely tie into the Warm Water region in Antarctica ( which does exist) and the alleged idea of the polar regions- usually southerly as a UFO base- presumably to dodge the Van Allen Belts. There are a number of logical incosisitencies in the so-called Byrd diary, as unlikely as encountering Penguins at l5,000 Feet- better get that altimeter checked, mate!
