Harley Byrd Interview

On the Art Bell Radio Show, October 19th, 1995

On this page you will find various postings to the Hollow Earth list about the interview with Harley Byrd by Art Bell on his radio show which was broadcast, Thursday evening, October 19th. Harley Byrd claims to be Admiral Byrd's grandson. I recall in a UFO magazine in California, seeing a listing for Harley Byrd and his interest in UFOs and the Hollow Earth. In any case, as you will read below, some of the people who commented were not sure that Harley Byrd is who he saids he is. So see what you think.

Jan,

I listened Thursday night to Harley Byrd, the Admiral's alleged grandson. It was quite strange, because he claims to have his grandfather's secret diaries. This is what he claims: Basically, when Admiral Byrd was on his way back from his first North polar flight (somewhere not far from Iceland), he spotted a vast city. This, the Admiral writes, "is impossible." The city was not a human city, however. Soon Adm. Byrd was approached by strange aircraft and forced to land. He walked through the alien city, and was led into a hall. There, according to Harley Byrd, the Admiral saw all manner of creatures: - Sasquatch, large and small greys, but mostly "Aryans," who were human and blond. (They had swastikas painted on their flying discs.) One of the members of the Admiral's expedition was German, and evidently took careful notes. As it happens, Harley Byrd is passing out a similar satellite photo as the one you have, and insists it shows a polar opening. (I have not seen it.)

I listened to this "alleged" Harley Byrd character for nearly two hours, and my conclusion is that he's a fraud. He talks nonsense, makes all manner of bizarre claims about greys, sasquatch, Aryans, and other alien types, and assiduously commercializes the whole for profit. It has been stated by someone here in California that Harley Byrd is actually a Jewish huckster whose name ends in "itz," and merely poses as Byrd's grandson to sell these bogus diaries.

Curiously, Harley Byrd admits to being a former military intelligence officer who now works in Hollywood (on TV production and as an actor). Byrd insists on being called "Dr. Byrd," though given his activities it is not clear what his doctorate is for. He is close friends with Dr. Frank Stranges, author of *The Stranger at the Pentagon*, another wild yarn about a Venusian who had an office there. Stranges is another one who peddles the hollow earth line.
