Mysterious Journey Inside the Earth

Honestly, ladies and gentlemen,

he flew 1 200 miles with the wind in his back

into the inside of this planet.

Not a molten core,

far from it, continental shells bigger than on the surface,

seas that were equal to ours,

and he took 300 photographs and brought them back, and I tried to see them,

and Franklin Birch, who was at the National Archives, would not let me in.

Oh, I got in the cage, but I couldn't look at anything.

Caldwell found those records and read them in 1940,

and he took his round wing plane in

and went right through the Earth and came out at the South Pole in a 125

mile opening there.

That's one thing he did.

I told you that was 1940.

That was a great accomplishment of the round wing plane at that point.

We hadn't had to fight a war. We hadn't had to do anything.

1952, I hesitate to tell you.

I've had three attempts on my life,

and I don't know if I'll walk away from this meeting if I say any more.

I've had the needle, I've been poisoned, and I've had people sent to kill me.
