The paper introduces the term “cryptoterrestrials” to refer to an ancient human culture—more technologically advanced than our own—that survived the cataclysms and has lived since in hiding.

A speculative new paper suggests that advanced “cryptoterrestrials” could be living secretly on Earth or in its near environs, like the moon.

It suggests the existence of a bizarre group of “intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on Earth (e.g., underground), and/or its near environs (e.g., the moon).”

The study has been accepted for publication in Philosophy and Cosmology.

They suggest that one potential category of these beings are “human cryptoterrestrials,” which are a “technologically advanced ancient human civilisation that was largely destroyed long ago (e.g., by flood), but continued to exist in remnant form.”

Possible habitation sites, as per the paper, may be hidden within the Earth in places like volcanoes or deep oceanic trenches.

Astonishingly, this is nothing new. In 1993, Dr. Shirley Wright, known for having been personal assistant to Albert Einstein, claimed that the pilots aboard the now topical Roswell UFO crash incident of 1947 were “advanced human” beings living inside Earth.
