This was taken as evidence that Byrd may have a knowledge of the alleged "Nazi Saucers" and be a warning to the US. In fact it was nothing of the sort! Here is a more accurate translation of the original report. (Apologies for the lengthy quote but I feel it is necessary for clarity.)
Adm. Byrd declared today that it was imperative for the United States to initiate immediate defense measures against hostile regions. The admiral further stated that he didn't want to frighten anyone unduly but that it was a bitter reality that in case of a new war the continental United States would be attacked by flying objects which could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds.
The part highlighted in yellow is an obvious reference to the possibility of an attack by the Soviets over the Arctic.
Admiral Richard E. Byrd warned today that the United States should adopt measures of protection against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile planes coming from the polar regions. The Admiral explained that he was not trying to scare anyone, but the cruel reality is that in case of a new war, the United States could be attacked by planes flying over one or both poles. This statement was made as part of a recapitulation of his own polar experience, in an exclusive interview with International News Service. Talking about the recently completed expedition, Byrd said that the most important result of his observations and discoveries is the potential effect that they have in relation to the security of the United States. The fantastic speed with which the world is shrinking – recalled the Admiral – is one of the most important lessons learned during his recent Antarctic exploration. I have to warn my compatriots that the time has ended when we were able to take refuge in our isolation and rely on the certainty that the distances, the oceans, and the poles were a guarantee of safety.
Source: Summerhayes and Beeching. Polar Record (2007). Hitler’s Antarctic base: the myth and the reality. The correct translation of the Spanish article is also detailed in the paper.
The words of Byrd in the El Mercurio article of 5 March 1947 have been mistranslated in a way that suggests that he was talking about the dangers of flying saucers. What he did refer to was the threat to US security of Soviet planes that could attack the USA across the polar regions, and of the dangers inherent in a world that was rapidly shrinking.
The implication of this post appears to be that you believe some of the unusual air accidents were retaliation by Nazi controlled UFOs. The implication seems to be that UFOs were responding to an attack on an alleged Nazi Antarctic base.

Operation High Jump?
A soon as you accept the Nazi UFOs being real, all things starts to make sense.
You provided me with a link to a newspaper report about foo fighters. Do you honestly think that is evidence that the Nazis escaped with advanced saucer technology to a base in the Antarctic ?

Many of you have probably already seen The Day Before Roswell which is a thread containing, among other things, irrefutable evidence that there was something flying around in the skies of the USA with technological capabilities far beyond anything a civilisation on Earth was capable of building.
Basically many of the craft were metallic not plasma for a start. They also performed incredible manoeuvres. In that thread the sightings are being placed into groups where they have demonstrated different technological capabilities. Don't forget, at least one was also captured.

can you point me to said "irrefutable evidence" in regards to anything with "technological capabilities"? how was uap, like plasma, excluded from the equation?

Go to that thread and address the question where the evidence is. Better still why not try to refute the evidence if you don't agree?
Thanks for the link. I haven't read that book yet as it covers a later period (1952). Does it mention the 1947 incidents? If you aren't sure I'll email around as I have limited resources and can only afford to order stuff I need at the time.
