Below is an excerpt from the seventh chapter of The Hollow Earth, first published in 1969, by Dr. Raymond Bernard, which is said to be a pen name.
The conception of a hollow earth presented in this book offers the most reasonable theory of the origin of the flying saucers and is far more logical than the belief in their interplanetary origin. For this reason, leading flying saucer experts, as Ray Palmer, editor of “Flying Saucers” magazine, and Gray Barker, a well known writer on flying saucers, have accepted the theory of their subterranean origin as against the idea that they come from other planets.
The theory that flying saucers came from the Earth’s interior and not from other planets originated in Brazil and only later was it taken up by American flying saucer experts. In 1957, while browsing in a Sao Paulo, Brazil, book-store, the author came across a book that struck his attention, entitled, “From the Subterranean World to the Sky: Flying Saucers,” by O. C. Huguenin.
It was the book’s thesis that flying saucers were not space ships from other planets but were of terrestrial origin and came from a subterranean race dwelling inside the earth. At first, the author could not accept this strange, unorthodox theory concerning the origin of the flying saucers, which seemed improbable and impossible, since it would require the existence of a cavity of tremendous size inside the earth in which they could fly, in view of their tremendous speed.
In fact, this cavity would have to be so large that it would make the earth a hollow sphere. At this time the author had not come across the remarkable books of two American scientists, William Reed and Marshall B. Gardner, proving, on basis of evidence from Arctic explorers, that the earth is hollow with openings at the Poles, with a diameter of 5,800 miles in its hollow interior, large enough for flying saucers to fly in. Huguenin’s theory of the subterranean origin of the flying saucers, however, was not original.
The idea was first put forward by Professor Henrique Jose de Souza, president of the Brazilian Theosophical Society, which has its headquarters in São Lourenço in the State of Minas Gerais, where there is an immense temple in Greek style dedicated to “Agharta,” the Buddhist name for the Subterranean World. Among the professor’s students at Sao Lourenco were Mr. Huguenin and Commander Paulo Justino Strauss, officer of the Brazilian Navy and member of the Diretoria of the Brazilian Theosophical Society.
From him they learned about the Subterranean World, and also the idea that flying saucers come from the Earth’s interior. It was for this reason that Mr. Huguenin dedicated his book to Prof. de Souza and his wife, D. Helena Jefferson de Souza. While Huguenin incorporated the idea of the subterranean origin of the flying saucers in a book, Commander Strauss presented it in a series of lectures which he held in Rio de Janeiro, in which he affirmed that the flying saucers are of terrestrial origin, but do not come from any known nation on the earth’s surface.
They originate, he believes, in the Subterranean World, the World of Agharta, whose capital city is known as Shamballa.
In his book, ” They knew Too Much about Flying Saucers, ” Barker speaks of the ” Antarctic Mystery ” or the unusual number of flying saucers seen to ascend and descend in the region of the South Pole, which strongly supports the theory of a polar opening through which flying saucers emerge from and enter the hollow interior of the earth.In this book he mentions an Australian and a New Zealand investigator, named Bender and Jarrold respectively, who believed that flying saucers originate and are based in the Antarctic and tried to trace their course, when they were suddenly stopped in their research by ‘three men in black,’ who were secret government agents who apparently wished to suppress such research, just as publicity concerning Admiral Byrd’s 2,300 mile flight to the new unknown territory not found on any map, that lies beyond the South Pole and inside the opening that leads to the earth’s hollow interior, was suppressed in the press.
Theodore Fitch is another American writer who believes that flying saucers come from the hollow interior of the earth. In his book, “Our Paradise Inside the Earth,” he writes: “Writers of books on flying saucers believe that they come from other planets. But how can that be? They are too far away. Traveling at terrific speeds it would take a lifetime to make the trip (especially from planets of other solar systems) .”
Fitch claims, as does Palmer, that the “spacemen” who come to us in flying saucers, who pose as visitors from other planets, are really members of an advanced civilization in the hollow interior of the earth, who have important reasons for keeping their true place of origin secret, for which reason they purposely foster the false belief that they come from other planets. On this point, Fitch writes: “They say that they come from other planets, but we doubt it.” He considers this a white lie in order to prevent militaristic governments from learning that on the opposite side of the Earth’s crust there exists an advanced civilization far surpass our own, which is reached by the polar openings.”
Reader- Consider one of the more recent descriptions from the bookExtraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact by Preston Dennett:Taken to an Underground Base “ The standard abduction scenario usually involves a person being taken inside a UFO and examined by grey-type extraterrestrials. But again, this scenario is not as common as many might believe. The following is a case in which a young man was abducted, not by grey-type ETs, but by praying-mantis type ETs. Nor was he taken inside a UFO. In fact, he recalled being taken to an apparent underground base! “
In 1967, twelve-year-old, Paul Nelson (pseudonym) was visiting the island of Catalina with his parents. Also along was Paul’s best friend, Michael (pseudonym.) The two boys decided to go inside their boat and read some new comic books. Suddenly, however, they both experienced an episode of missing time. Their next memory was of waking up the next morning. While Paul was unable to convince his parents that anything unusual had happened, both Paul and his friend knew that the event was strange.Two weeks later, Paul was alone in his Reseda, California home when he had another strange experience. He was alone in his room when the door began to rattle. He jumped up and threw it open.
To his shock, he saw the shadow of a small figure running down the hallway. He chased after it, but found nothing. “ Paul didn’t know how to explain these experiences and didn’t connect it to the UFO phenomenon. However, afterwards he developed an interest in UFOs and began to read up on the subject. “ Many years later, he grew up, married, became a doctor and had two children. Then he had a UFO sighting of a distant object in the daytime sky. This renewed his interest in UFOs. He began reading about the missing time aspect of UFO encounters when he realized that he had experienced missing time. “ Intrigued, he eventually underwent hypnosis to recover his lost memories.
Having read about UFOs, he expected to find that he had a frightening encounter, during which he would be examined by grey-type ETs, aboard a UFO using highly technological equipment. Instead, it was nothing like this. “ As Paul underwent the regression, his first surprise was that he was not aboard a UFO, but instead appeared to be in an underground base. Says Paul, “I was taken to a round-walled room. It seemed to me more underground than it did onboard a ship. The walls had kind of rock-like facet to them. And I was on a table. Yeah, rock-like walls rather than metallic craft-type walls.
It gave the impression that I was in a cavern [rather] than in a ship. It was more of an underground feeling, that’s true. That is a little anomalous.” Under hypnosis, Paul recalled his friend Michael, nearby, also being examined. His next surprise was that the beings were what he expected. Says Paul, ‘The beings weren’t the typical greys, they were more the ‘Praying Mantis’ type, as I later understood. The eyes were slightly bigger than what is seen in the typical small grey, and a little more insectoid-likeThey wore tight-fitting uniforms, I believe. There was even a color to them, but I can’t remember what the color wastight-fitting jump-suit like things.
I think there was one in that bunch that had a tunic-type thing, more looser fitting over it. I couldn’t tell how tall they were because they were over me and I was on my back. So I couldn’t give you the exact height. They didn’t look particularly tall though.’”
