Harvard Scientists Suggest UFOs May Indicate a Hidden Civilization on Earth

[Social Media]

 

Harvard University researchers have proposed a startling theory: extraterrestrial beings may already be living among us, possibly residing in advanced technological civilizations deep underground or in a base on the moon. This provocative idea is detailed in a new paper from Harvard's Human Flourishing Program, which delves into the enigmatic phenomenon of "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP), more commonly known as UFOs.

 

The study paper, titled The Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis: A Case for Scientific Openness to a Concealed Earthly Explanation for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,"** advocates for a broader consideration of potential explanations for UAPs. The authors, Tim Lomas, Brendan Case, and Michael Paul Masters, argue that the scientific community should adopt a spirit of "epistemic humility and openness" when investigating these phenomena.

 

Exploring New Frontiers

Traditionally, explanations for UAPs have been divided into two main categories: conventional terrestrial explanations, such as human-made technology, and extraterrestrial explanations, involving advanced civilizations from other parts of the cosmos. However, the Harvard researchers propose a third, less conventional category: an unconventional terrestrial explanation. This hypothesis suggests that UAPs could be the result of advanced civilizations that have developed on Earth, separate from known human history.

 

The paper outlines several "cryptoterrestrial" hypotheses (CTH) to explain these unidentified phenomena:

 

1. Temporal or Extraterrestrial Visitors:** Cryptoterrestrials might have arrived on Earth from another time period or planet and have concealed themselves using advanced stealth technologies.
2. Parallel Evolution:** An intelligent species could have evolved separately from humans on Earth, possibly as descendants of unknown intelligent dinosaurs or ape-like ancestors.
3. Ancient Remnant Civilizations:** A remnant form of an ancient civilization could still exist on Earth, having survived a catastrophic event like a flood or another natural disaster.
4. Supernatural Entities:** This theory entertains the possibility of "earthbound angels" or other supernatural beings, likened to fairies, elves, or nymphs, existing in a hidden capacity.

 

The authors acknowledge the skepticism that their theories will likely encounter, particularly the suggestion of supernatural entities like elves or fairies. They admit that such ideas may seem far-fetched, especially to those accustomed to the standard model of physics. "While belief in extraterrestrials is tenable, belief in (something like) fairies is simply not a live option for many scientists," the paper concedes.

 

The Growing Interest in UFOs

Interest in UFOs and UAPs has surged in recent years, driven by both public fascination and governmental concern. Lawmakers and military officials worldwide have called for more research, often framing the issue as one of national and planetary security. Last year, David Grusch, a career intelligence officer turned whistleblower, testified before Congress, alleging that the U.S. government has been hiding a long-standing program dedicated to retrieving and reverse-engineering UFOs. Grusch claimed to have been tasked with identifying all highly classified programs related to UAPs. However, the Pentagon has denied these claims, stating that investigators have not found any verifiable evidence to support the existence of such programs.

 

NASA has also weighed in on the matter, stating that while the search for extraterrestrial life is a key priority, there is currently no credible evidence to suggest that UAPs are of extraterrestrial origin. "One of NASA’s key priorities is the search for life elsewhere in the universe, but so far, NASA has not found any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life and there is no evidence that UAPs are extraterrestrial," a NASA statement read.

 

Government Response and Public Perception

The Harvard paper addresses the U.S. government's response to UAP sightings, noting that many people believe federal officials are deliberately downplaying or obscuring the extraordinary nature of many UAP-related events. This perception of obfuscation contributes to public mistrust and fuels further speculation about the true nature of these phenomena. The paper has yet to undergo peer review and will soon be published in the journal *Philosophy and Cosmology*. The authors hope that by proposing these unconventional hypotheses, they can stimulate a broader and more open-minded scientific inquiry into the mysteries of UAPs.

 

Conclusion

While the idea of hidden civilizations on Earth may seem like the stuff of science fiction, the Harvard researchers emphasize the importance of keeping an open mind. As our understanding of the universe and our place within it continues to evolve, so too must our willingness to explore all possible explanations for the phenomena we observe. Whether or not the cryptoterrestrial hypothesis holds water, it represents a bold step toward a more inclusive and imaginative approach to scientific inquiry.

so Mum was correct..there are elves and faiies living at the bottom of the garden

The only thing we know for certain is that these extraterrestrials are very intelligent. They haven't made contact with humans!

Ironic innit, when the white lab coats tell you to wear masks and stay home folks jump to but when they present an alternative theory regarding out civilization they're laughed at.

I often have the same impression when I go out ...

 

But , really , the next Galaxy is 1000s of lightyears away . Habitable planets in our own Galaxy are still hundreds of lightyears away . If Aliens wanted to visit us , they would need to travel for many lifetimes ( at the speed of light ) .

Spacetravel at the speed of light , or faster is not possible .( yet ) .

So , it would be a trip much too long for any biological lifeform ...

Survive in a cyrogenic state ? Deepfrozen ?

Ridiculous .

If , ever , contact to alien civilizations will be established , it will be a contact to robots . Only non biological lifeforms can survive thousands of years in space .

So moon landing footage they showed us was fake because they actually found an alien base there?

At least wearing masks was backed up by evidence this is not science, this is just wild speculation, science starts with speculation and then tries to find the evidence to prove it. After that papers are written showing the evidence and the experiments carried out to show the results so that others can try to reproduce the results. I still remember the wild stories that the Nazi's had all gone to antartica and had underground bunkers from where they were flying the advanced technology flying saucers they had invented. Same rubbish just touted in a different way.

Being rational involves being open-minded.

 

Let the evidence - such as it is or may be - lead investigations. NASA & the Pentagon denying all knowledge may or may not be trustworthy ...

 

Personally, I have no view one way or the other though the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos - with its trillions of galaxies, each with billions of stars and planets - is pretty high.

 

Which doesn't mean they've arrived here, yet.

i had to look this up. andromeda and its a whopping 2.5 million light years away. wow. 

[bendejo]

Jesus became an extraterrestrial, so did his mum.  Didn't need space ships.

Maybe they will return, sandals and virginity will come back into style.

 

[Pouatchee]

maybe "skinwalker ranch" is a hoax, but it is interesting to see some of the things they find. 

personally, i would hate to think we are alone in this great big whatever we live in. science fiction has a way of becoming science fact...
