The Fermi paradox It arises from the apparent contradiction between the high probability that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations exist in the universe and the lack of evidence or contact with them. In a universe with billions of potentially habitable stars and planets, logic suggests that some civilizations should have developed the technology to travel the galaxy or at least emit detectable signals. However, we have not found any conclusive evidence of its existence.
But What if aliens, in reality, were already among us? This is what a new study, not yet peer-reviewed, suggests, conducted by two scholars at the Harvard Humanities Program: Tim Lomas, a psychology researcher, and Brendan Case, associate director of research. Specifically, such aliens could be living in the underground of our planet.
The researchers, who urge caution in the interpretation of their findings, suggest that the UFOs (unidentified flying objects) could be visits by these extraterrestrials to their fellow humans on Earth. Furthermore, the study maintains that the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) that occur from time to time on our planet could be caused by these intelligent beings, which they describe as “cryptoterrestrials” that live underground or among us.
Cryptoterrestrial beings?
The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis (CTH) suggests that non-human entities (NHI) responsible for unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) could be present on Earth rather than having an extraterrestrial origin. Unlike interdimensional or extratemporal hypotheses, CTH posits that these entities are conventionally “hidden” within standard space-time dimensions, possibly living underground.

Although considered unlikely, recent observations suggest some validity, increasing the probability of this hypothesis from 1% to 10%. This perspective is reinforced by unexplained phenomena, such as objects that move at incredible speeds underwater and that defy technology and human physics. UAPs that appear to enter and exit underground points, such as volcanoes, have also been reported, leading to speculation about hidden ancient civilizations.
The study’s authors acknowledge that their work might be met with skepticism, but they insist that the topic deserves to be discussed in the scientific community. “We would like to emphasize that we believe this hypothesis is most likely false, but we believe it still merits scientific investigation,” reads a note at the beginning of the study.
The aim of the study is to offer an “unconventional” explanation for sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena and to hypothesize what they might mean, suggesting the possibility that these may involve forms of non-human intelligence already present in the environment. the Earth in some sense, coexisting alongside us.
This unusual approach invites reflection and debate within the scientific community, underscoring the importance of keeping an open mind in the face of phenomena not yet understood. However, it is also worth remembering a famous quote by the physicist Richard Feynman: “You have to have an open mind. But not so much that your brain falls to the ground.”
