In April 2024, NASA scientists Alex Gardner and Chad Green, mapping Greenland's ice with advanced U ofSAR radar, discovered a perfect geometric grid buried 100 feet deep. Initially thinking it was a glitch or a strange geological formation, they soon realized they were looking at a buried city, leading to the revelation of Project Iceworm.
The 'city' was Camp Century, a US Army base built in 1959. Officially a research station, it secretly housed the first nuclear reactor inside a glacier. The base, constructed with corrugated steel arches in deep ice trenches, became a self-contained town with barracks, a kitchen, and a theatre. However, the glacier's natural movement caused the tunnels to shrink, leading to a dangerous situation where the reactor room ceiling sagged, threatening a meltdown. By 1963, the army abandoned the base due to the impossibility of maintaining it against the ice's movement. They removed the reactor core but left behind structures and a vast amount of waste, including 200,000 liters of diesel fuel, 240,000 liters of sewage, toxic PCBs, and radioactive cooling water, believing it would be entombed in ice forever.
In 1995, a Danish investigation into US military activities in Greenland during the Cold War uncovered declassified documents detailing 'Project Iceworm.' Camp Century was revealed to be a prototype for a massive clandestine project to build 4,000 km of tunnels under the ice sheet, housing 600 nuclear missiles on a railway system. The plan was to constantly move these missiles to confuse the Soviet Union, allowing the US to launch them if World War III began. The Danish government, which had a strict anti-nuclear weapons policy, was outraged by this deception. The project was scrapped because the ice moved too quickly, deforming tunnels and making the plan unfeasible.
A 2016 study by climate scientist William Kolgan revealed that the Greenland ice sheet is melting rapidly. Within 75 years, the ice covering Camp Century will melt, releasing the buried diesel, PCBs, sewage, and radioactive waste into the ocean. This poses a significant environmental threat, transforming the historical artifact into a 'ticking time bomb' as observed by NASA in 2024.
On September 16, 2023, seismologist Dr. Steven Hicks in London observed an unusual, rhythmic seismic signal pulsing every 92 seconds across all global seismometers, from the North Pole to the South Pole. This 'unidentified seismic object' (USO) was unlike any earthquake or volcanic activity. Scientists worldwide were baffled, with theories ranging from secret military tests to new volcanic eruptions. The signal persisted for 9 days before finally fading.
Days before the seismic event, on September 11, 2023, the luxury cruise ship MV Ocean Explorer with 200 people onboard became stuck in the mud in Alpord, northeast Greenland. After three days, a fishing trawler managed to free it on September 14. Scientists later realized that if the ship had remained stuck for two more days, it would have been caught in the event that caused the 9-day hum. Investigation by the Danish Joint Arctic Command revealed extensive damage to the Ler research station in Dixon Fjord. Satellite photos showed a massive chunk of a 4,000-foot mountain peak missing.
Dr. Christian, a geologist, confirmed that on September 16, 2023, 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice broke free from the mountain, plummeting into Dixon Fjord. This triggered a tsunami over 100 meters high. Due to the fjord's narrowness, steep walls, and sharp 90-degree bend, the wave became trapped, sloshing back and forth every 90 seconds. This sustained oscillation transferred energy into the Earth's crust, causing the planet-wide 9-day hum. Simulations showed that if the Ocean Explorer had been in the fjord during this event, it would have been destroyed, with no survivors. A month later, on October 11, 2023, another, albeit quieter, hum was detected from the same location, indicating another mountain collapse.
