Yes, you read that correctly. According to a recent study by Harvard academics, aliens may have already made contact with earth, and are now potentially living among us. Or, if not directly on earth, then living underground or in a base on the moon.
The study, conducted by Harvard University’s Human Flourishing program, brings forth the idea that UFOs may be spaceships visiting their Earth-based alien allies. The scientists have investigated something called “crypto-terrestrials”, which are essentially aliens disguising themselves as humans in order to blend in, which may have traveled from Earth’s future, or descended from overly intelligent dinosaurs (this sounds insane, I know, but this is what the researchers claim).
The research study reads: “The author became increasingly aware of the depth of evidence and theory that also tentatively supports another ultraterrestrial explanation: the “cryptoterrestrial” hypothesis (CTH) – our focus here – which holds that UAP may reflect activities of NHIs concealed here on Earth (e.g., underground) and its environs.”
The study was done in order to offer an alternate, and more unconventional, explanation for UFO sightings, in hopes of hypothesising what they might entail, adding that “the possiblity that UFO may involve forms of non-human intelligence (NHI) that are already present in Earth’s environment in some sense” that exist “alongside us in distinct health.”
There are many theories of the types of aliens that may be among us, but the most captivating, if not the most absurd, is the “magical cryptoterrestrials” theory, which suggest that aliens are something like an “earthbound angel,” drawing parallels to elves and fairies.
You think I’m kidding, but again, this is what the study says, although based on what said scientists add, they are well aware of how absurd this sounds.
The academics do conclude that their theories, especially the elves suggestion, might be hard to take by many people.
“While belief in extraterrestrials is tenable, belief in (something like) fairies is simply not a live option for many scientists,” one noted.
The paper, “The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis: A case for scientific openness to a concealed earthly explanation for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” has yet to be peer reviewed, so it will be interesting to see whether or not these researchers win the Nobel Prize or get sectioned.
