A speculative new paper suggests that advanced "cryptoterrestrials" could be living secretly on Earth or in its near environs, like the moon.
This study, which is yet to be peer-reviewed, is the work of researchers at the Harvard Human Flourishing Program and Montana Technological University.
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.
Human cryptoterrestrialsThey 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."
Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) operating at supersonic speeds have also encouraged speculation on these cryptoterrestrial beings living under water.

What are Cryptoterrestrials?
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.
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.

The authors suggest that these hidden Earth-dwellers may actually be responsible for all the unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) typically attributed to extraterrestrial beings, aka aliens.
Human cryptoterrestrials
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.

The work also considers alternative crypto terrestrial possibilities, including highly advanced non-human primates or reptilian entities that are believed to hide their aerial craft within mountains.
Locations such as Popocatépetl volcano, Mexico, and Mount Shasta in California, long associated with UFO sightings, were proposed as potential residences for these clandestine creatures.
Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) operating at supersonic speeds have also encouraged speculation on these cryptoterrestrial beings living under water.
The paper even goes so far as to quote some contentious statements from Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb that the Moon might even be a base for extraterrestrials.
