UFO mystery may be result of advanced ‘stealth civilization’ living on Earth among us, say Harvard scientists – as they reveal where their secret bases could be located
Skeptics have long wondered why UFOs, if they are alien craft, would visit Earth so often.
But two Harvard scientists suspect the creatures have been here all along.
In a new research paper, they estimate there is a one in ten chance that the real solution to the UFO mystery could be ‘cryptoterrestrial’ – meaning they belong to an advanced species hiding out on Earth.
“While this idea may sound unlikely at first glance, many observers are convinced that it is at least conceivable,” the team wrote in their new study, “not least because entire parts of our planet are virtually unexplored and unexplored.” have been mapped out.’
With 80 percent of our oceans uncharted and still revealing ancient mysteries like Yonaguni Jima, the ‘Japanese Atlantis’, not to mention undiscovered caves and the dark side of the moon, they claim there is plenty of room for a ‘stealth’ civilization.
As an example of a potentially hidden advanced species, the researchers described a massive submerged stone structure discovered by a diver off the coast of Yonaguni Jima in Japan that some marine geologists claim could be the remains of a “Japanese Atlantis.”
“If another intelligent species had inhabited Earth (or Mars) long before Homo sapiens, it is possible we would have had no idea about it,” the trio notes in their articlewhich will appear in the diary Philosophy and cosmology this June.
The work is a collaboration between scientists who have independently sought to ensure that all viable theories are considered for the UFO mystery, which has seen major efforts to declassify it by the government in recent months.
Congress, the Pentagon and others in the government now more often refer to UFOs as UAP for “unidentified aerial (or anomalous) phenomena.”
Multiple regions on Earth and near Earth were cited in the new study as valuable candidates for investigating the chances of a secret base of a “cryptoterrestrial” species.
One region, called the ‘Alaskan Triangle’ is a remote and sparsely populated area between the cities of Anchorage, Juneau and Utqiagvik that the authors describe as ‘a prominent ‘hot spot’ for UAP [UFOs]as well as other oddities.”
The triangle, they noted, has been ground zero for more than 20,000 unexplained disappearances since the 1970s, going beyond the propensity for UFO sightings.

More concretely, the researchers pointed to a series of intriguing archaeological finds that suggest the existence of ancient civilizations that would not only be older than any known advanced species, but may still exist in hiding.
They described a huge submerged stone structure discovered by a diver off the coast of Yonaguni Jima in Japan that some marine geologists claim could be the remains of a 5,000-year-old pyramid from a Japanese Atlantis.
Habitable areas underground have also yet to be explored, some with the right conditions to support life.
“Earth’s internal structure is still largely a mystery,” the team wrote.
‘For example, it was recently discovered that the mantle transition zone (400 to 650 kilometers underground) acts as a large water reservoir.’
They speculated that it is entirely possible that hundreds of miles beneath humanity’another humanoid species, or even a branch of Homo sapiens, could have adapted to live underground, even though it would probably hardly look like us.
Stunning photos taken by Luis Guerra, a resident of the city of Atlixco in central Mexico, last year have fueled similar speculation about a hidden UFO base beneath the country’s Popocatépetl volcano, which has become a UFO hotspot.
Other leading candidates, the researchers say, include long-term bases deep underwater in ocean trenches or on the dark side of the moon, whether built by an ancient, advanced Earth race or by our long-term alien co-inhabitants.

Although researchers working with NASA’s LROC moon-mapping mission have debunked the theory that this lunar image captured a 5.6-kilometer-long “alien base” spire, much of the moon’s dark side remains unexplored and such a discovery can still occur.

“Of course,” the researchers noted, “the limits of our knowledge do not provide a specific argument for the CTH [the ‘cryptoterrestrial hypothesis’].’
‘Crucially,” they added, “means we must have done that […] humility and awareness, we cannot reject it just because it contradicts the standard narrative of history.”
The new research follows previous exploratory work by the authors working separately.
The co-author of the study Dr. Michael Mastersa professor of biological anthropology at Montana Technological University, had previously written a book arguing that the beings piloting UFOs could be “extra-temporal beings,” or time travelers.
“The phenomenon could be that our own distant descendants are coming back in time to study us in their own evolutionary past,” Dr. Masters said. KBZK news 7 in Bozeman.
Using his evolutionary biology experience as an anthropologist, Dr. Masters that the so-called ‘gray’ aliens from UFO abduction lore resemble what time-traveling future humans might evolve to look like in a more high-tech society.
His co-author, psychologist Tim Lomas with Harvard’s TH Chan School of Public Health, had recently laid out the full case for the more traditional “alien hypothesis,” in another article for the same journal, Philosophy and Cosmology, earlier this year.
Brendan Casethe associate director for research at the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science, joined them in calling for scientists to pursue the ‘cryptoterrestrial’ UFO hypothesis.
“The hope is that we can start a new dialogue and overcome some of this stigma,” Dr. Masters said. “And you don’t have to defend this as science, because it is very scientific.”
