    I did work with an astrophysics PhD (not in this field, more like a data analyst) who had worked there (Antarctica).

    I jokingly (well, not really!) asked him if he knew where the UFOs were and he said they would put ufo stuff in log entries “as a joke”.

    The response was not "UFOs? What?’ he was well aware of the various beliefs and so on. He changed the subject after that.

    I want to stress we were in a workplace just chatting before getting down to business. I am not implying in any way he was hiding anything but he was definitely aware of this stuff and dismissed it with a joke. Found that interesting.
