The research is based on a geographic study on UFO sightings that mapped the regions of the United States with the most recorded appearances of Unidentified Flying Objects.
To support their hypotheses, the team cites several reports of UFO sightings associated with potential underground access points, such as volcanoes, suggesting that these locations could be bases for alien civilization.
According to researchers, UFO sightings could be evidence of the presence of a hidden civilization that could be living in underground bases or even disguised among humans.
The theory is considered “exotic” by the authors themselves and is based on several possibilities, including the idea that an unidentified civilization could be a remnant of an ancient and highly advanced human culture or that it evolved independently of the human species in the distant past.
Another hypothesis suggests that this civilization could be made up of extraterrestrials who traveled to Earth from another planet or even from another time period.
Scientists have also raised the possibility that these aliens possess technology far superior to human technology and the lack of understanding of these technologies by ancient human civilizations would be interpreted as “magic of angels sent to Earth”.
Although the theory does not present concrete evidence, the research proposes a new perspective for the debate on the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Scientists argue that even if the odds are low, the hypothesis deserves consideration as we seek to understand the mystery of UFOs.
