In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Harvard University and Montana Technological University have put forward a provocative hypothesis: advanced non-human intelligences (NHI) might be living covertly on Earth or its near environs, including the Moon.
This startling paper speculates that sightings of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) could be the activities of these intelligent beings. The authors, while acknowledging the skepticism their theory might attract, argue that it deserves serious consideration in a spirit of epistemic humility and openness.
The study introduces several ultraterrestrial hypotheses, suggesting that NHI could already exist in Earth’s environment. These beings might be residing underground, under the sea, or even passing as humans. The researchers outline four potential categories of cryptoterrestrials:
- Human Cryptoterrestrials: Descendants of an ancient, advanced human civilization that was largely destroyed but continued to exist in a remnant form.
- Hominid or Theropod Cryptoterrestrials: Non-human species, such as evolved hominids or intelligent descendants of dinosaurs, living in stealth, possibly underground.
- Former Extraterrestrial or Extratemporal Cryptoterrestrials: Aliens or time-travelers who arrived on Earth from elsewhere or the future and are now concealing themselves.
- Magical Cryptoterrestrials: Entities resembling mythical beings like fairies or elves, whose interactions with humans appear more magical than technological.
A significant portion of the study examines the phenomenon of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs), which display capabilities far beyond known human technology. These objects have been observed moving underwater in ways that challenge current scientific understanding.
The researchers also highlight sightings of UAP around volcanic regions, such as the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico. Some believe these sites might function as portals or access points for these beings. Former member of the United States House of Representatives Mike Gallagher suggested that one potential explanation for UAP is “an ancient civilization that’s just been hiding here, for all this time, and is suddenly showing itself right now.”
The study references a variety of intriguing testimonies and observations, including claims by former CIA officer John Ramirez and recordings from Dr. Shirley Wright, Albert Einstein’s one-time assistant. These accounts suggest the possibility of biological entities that survived the famous Roswell UAP crash, which Wright described as “just humans, but an advanced form,” residing underground on Earth.
Despite the sensational nature of their hypotheses, the researchers emphasize that they are not claiming cryptoterrestrials definitively exist. Rather, they argue that the hypothesis should be explored scientifically and with an open mind. The study calls for a thorough investigation of all potential explanations for UAP sightings, urging scientists to push the boundaries of conventional reality.
As the debate over UAP continues, this Harvard-Montana study contributes a thought-provoking perspective, challenging the traditional view of extraterrestrial life and suggesting that non-human intelligences might be closer to home than previously thought.
