- In his book 'THE GOLD OF THE GODS', Erich von Danniken
- relates some interesting thoughts concerning an ancient tunnel
- system that had been discovered below the mountains and jungles
- of Ecuador which allegedly consist of straight 'glazed' tunnels
- with intermittent 'air shafts' that stretch for hundreds of
- miles. Although he has come under criticism from many
- researchers for his tendency to embellish certain accounts, and
- twist archeological and historical facts in an attempt to support
- his own pet theories, some of his research is nevertheless
- interesting and reliable enough to include here. On pp. 59-60 of
- this particular work, he stated: "...I can refute the objection
- that the tunnel-builders must have 'betrayed' themselves by the
- enormous quantities of debris excavated while making the tunnels.
- As I credit them with an advanced technology, they were
- presumably equipped with a THERMAL DRILL of the kind described in
- DER SPIEGAL for 3 April, 1972, which reported it as the latest
- discovery. The scientists of the U.S. Laboratory for Atomic
- Research at Los Alamos spent a year and a half developing the
- thermal drill. It has nothing in common with ordinary drills.
- The tip of the drill is made of wolfram and heated by a graphite
- heating element. There is no longer any waste material from the
- hole being drilled. The thermal drill melts the rock through
- which it bores and presses it against the walls, where it cools
- down. As DER SPIEGAL related, the first test-model bored almost
- soundlessly through blocks of stone 12 ft. thick. At Los Alamos
- they are now planning the construction of a thermal drill that is
- powered by a mini atomic reactor and eats into the earth like a
- mole, in the form of an armored vehicle. This drill is intended
- to pierce the earth's crust, which is about 25 miles thick (in
- some places - Branton), and take samples of the molten magma that
- lies underneath it..."

- An analysis of UFO occupant reports prepared for the Center
- for UFO Studies (AN ANALYSIS OF THE FALL 1973 UFO/HUMANOID WAVE,
- by Dave Webb. Center for UFO Studies., Evanston, ILL 1976. p.
- 52) states that twenty-seven "dwarf" cases were reported to CUFOS
- in 1973. One such case allegedly involved another family's CE-
- III on October 16, 1973, at Lehi, Utah. Using hypnosis, Dr.
- James Harder, consultant for the Aerial Phenomena Research
- Organization (APRO), elicited from one of the witnesses the
- following description: The beings were slightly over four feet
- tall, very thin, with large slanted eyes. Their arms were long
- and their hands GLOVED and CLAWLIKE, with a diminutive thumb.
- They were wearing what appeared to be glowing clothing with Sam
- Brown-like belts!
-
- Although this particular 'File' is reserved for reports of
- subsurface phenomena, we will not exclude these to planet earth
- alone. There is much evidence that the underground regions of
- other planets, or possibly even the moons of this and other
- planets, may play a part in the "Grand Scenario". Frank Edwards,
- in his 'STRANGE WORLD' (Lyle Stuart Co., N.Y. 1964. pp. 329-
- 330) gives the following revelations under the heading, "THE
- MYSTERIOUS MOONS OF MARS": "Now that man has tools which will
- enable him to obtain detailed information by near approaches to
- Mars, we may expect, within the next few years, to learn whether
- Mars is inhabited by intelligent beings, and, if so, what they
- look like and how they live. Among the factors which have
- focused so much of our time and talent on Mars are the two tiny
- satellites which orbit the planet--where--prior to 1877--no
- satellites had ever been seen before (In other words, about the
- time the canals of Mars were mysteriously starting to
- "disappear", new satellites began appearing on the scene -
- Branton). The famous astronomers Herschel and Lasselle had
- excellent telescopes at their disposal--so good that they used
- them to DISCOVER THE MOONS OF URANUS. Yet neither these men, nor
- hundreds of other astronomers who observed the planets, were able
- to see any satellites around Mars. Then in one week in 1877,
- Asaph Hall found that Mars had two satellites where none had been
- seen before. Furthermore, he found that the satellites were tiny
- but bright...brighter than the planet itself...as though they
- were made of some material other than that of Mars. It is also
- worth noting that not only do these two Martian satellites sweep
- around the planet at a very high speed but they travel in
- different directions...factors which had led to the suspicion
- that they are artificial. This is the theory advanced by Soviet
- astronomer I. S. Schklovsky, who points out that the Martian
- satellite known as Phobos exhibits a strange acceleration in its
- orbit, an irregularity which would be expected if the satellite
- were in reality a huge metal sphere that was hollow. The same
- difference in speed, however, would be impossible for a natural
- astronomical body. Therefore, says Dr. Schklovsky, at least one
- of the moons of Mars IS NOT A NATURAL OBJECT, but an artificial
- satellite placed in orbit around the 'red' planet in 1877, or
- shortly before that time. When we stop to think of the
- discovery of the Martian moons in 1877--and of the mass of
- phenomena noted on our moon between 1879 and 1889--the conviction
- develops that if we discover life on Mars...we may also discover
- that we are merely returning a visit."

- An article in the Dec. 1, 1968 issue of THE PEOPLE
- (British), titled "Something Quare Down The Tunnel!", reported on
- a strange, dark, 7 ft. tall creature which was briefly seen by
- workers during the construction of London's New Victoria tube
- line.
-
- The MELBOURNE SUN (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), August
- 25, 1954 issue, carried an article titled "THE NEW SATELLITES",
- which stated: "Two meteors (asteroids?) had become satellites of
- the earth and WERE REVOLVING WITH IT 400 to 600 miles out in
- space, the latest issue of the American Magazine 'AVIATION WEEK'
- said yesterday. The magazine said that the discovery of the
- satellites threw the air force into confusion this summer. Alarm
- over the sightings ended only after they had been identified as
- natural rather than manmade." Another possibility may be that
- they were both 'engineered' natural objects such as hollowed-out
- asteroids taken from the asteroid belt. The simultaneous arrival
- of two large asteroids, combined with the fact that both took up
- a geo-synchronous (synchronized with the revolving of the earth
- and positioned always over a particular geographical location)
- orbit, would be an incredible coincidence indeed.

- In 'THE KATHA SARIT SAGARA (THE OCEAN OF STORY)', edited by
- Bhatta Somadeva., New Delhi, India., 1968., this Ten Volume
- collection of ancient East Indian lore gives a description of the
- 7-leveled underworld of 'Patala', which is the traditional abode
- of the Nagas, or the Serpent Race. Vol. 6, pp. 108-112, gives a
- legend concerning the journey of a King by the name of Bhunandana
- to this underworld region. Although most of the story is
- probably fiction, it is nevertheless a bizarre reflection of the
- ideas which it's writer or writers, early Hindu's, had concerning
- this underworld. Take note that some of the legend seems to
- parallel certain ideas concerning the reptilian netherworld which
- have appeared in other accounts. Whether this legend has any
- direct connection with actual alleged scenarios such as that
- taking place deep below Dulce, New Mexico, remains to be seen.
- We will let the reader make their own determination. The legend,
- as it appeared in 'THE OCEAN OF STORY', states that: "There are
- on this earth many openings leading into the lower regions; but
- there is one great and famous one is Kasmira made by Maya... even
- now the place is called by the two names Peak of Pradyumna and
- Hill of Sarika... the king (Bhunandana) entered with... his
- pupils, and marched along the road to Patala for five days and
- five nights. And on the sixth day they all crossed the Ganges of
- the lower regions." The king told his followers, "This is the
- dwelling of the god Siva (as the reader may recall, Siva or Shiva
- is an apparently supernatural being that has been identified with
- the Serpent Race of the 'Nagas', as related in Andrew Tomas' book
- 'ON THE SHORES OF ENDLESS WORLDS' and elsewhere - Branton), who
- inhabits the lower regions in the form of Hatakesvara, and whose
- praises are sung in the three worlds..." Could the 'three'
- worlds be the subterran, terran and exterran 'worlds'? In the
- legend the underworld of Patala gave off the impression of being
- some kind of underworld paradise, yet the hero's of the story
- soon learn that such 'beauty' is only superficial, and that
- inwardly things were just the opposite. One of the kings
- servants, becoming hungry, eats a fruit from one of the
- subterranean trees and "...as soon as he had eaten it, he became
- rigid and motionless." At one point in the journey the king
- encounters a being that appeared to him in the form of a woman,
- and this being takes him to an underground garden and, according
- to the legend, "...then she sat down with him on the brink of a
- tank filled with wine, and with the blood and fat of corpses,
- that hung from trees on its banks, and she offered the king a
- goblet, full of the fat and wine, to drink, but he would not
- accept the loathsome compound. And she kept saying earnestly to
- the king: 'You will not prosper if you reject my beverage.' But
- he answered: 'I certainly will not drink that undrinkable
- compound, whatever may happen.'" In apparent response to his
- refusal, instead of declaring that he had passed some test,
- 'she' then pours out the grotesque compound over his head and
- departs, and shortly afterwards he was expelled from Patala, the
- legendary home of the Nagas or the Serpent Race (this particular
- legend did not refer to the Naga's as the inhabitants of Patala,
- as most Hindu legends do, that is of course unless the 'woman'
- was actually a Naga in disguise. Or could 'she' have been a
- sorceress who lived in that dark underworld realm? This is
- assuming of course that there is some seed of truth behind this
- tale). Whether fantasy or reality, the 'king' should be
- commended for resisting the bloody 'drink', and may have been
- fortunate that he himself did not end up as 'food' for these
- false 'gods' of the underworld. This is, again, assuming that
- there is a fire of truth behind the 'smoke' of such tales.

- Manly P. Hall, who has written numerous books on Freemasonry
- and other occult themes, in his volume 'MAN, THE GRAND SYMBOL OF
- THE MYSTERIES' (Manly P. Hall Pub. Co., Los Angeles, CA, 1932, p.
- 160) states: "The most secret rituals of ancient initiation were
- performed in subterranean crypts, which were called 'caverns of
- the Mysteries.' In the Gothic rites, the final ceremony in which
- the new initiate was invested with the insignia of his order took
- place in a high, vaulted, cavernous chamber in the presence of
- the luminous statue of Balder (a Nordic 'deity')... Here also are
- the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus and the cave-dwelling Rishis of
- India--the seven original beings who in the mythology of Central
- America were the cave-born progenitors of the (Central American)
- races." (Note: The cave-dwelling Rishis are said to live largely
- in Ellora, India where there are alleged to be tunnel entrances
- to an underground system which connects with Elephanta and the
- Ajunta Caverns - Branton)
-
- One source stated some years ago that the Texas Instruments
- plant near Dallas, Texas, had discovered a system of ancient
- tunnels and caverns deep below the T. I. Complex there
- (discovered via experimental electronic earth-sounding probes? -
- merely a suggestion), and have secretly been investigating these
- tunnels for some time. This source revealed the name and address
- of one woman T.I. worker who allegedly told this source about the
- underground system. A letter was sent to this woman asking if
- she would confirm or deny the story, but no response has been
- forthcoming. These sources alleged that 'small' hominoid beings
- were discovered in the tunnels, some of which were being held in
- captivity in 'cage-like' enclosures for research purposes
- (whether 'they' were humanoid or sauroid was not mentioned, other
- than that they tended towards a greenish-like skin color).
- Certain 'inner earth' researchers were allegedly contacted by the
- company and allowed entrance into these tunnels for the purpose
- of getting their opinion and views on who or what these beings
- were. Due to the lack of solid confirming evidence as yet, the
- reader should take these reports with a grain of salt for now.
-
- Archaeologists have in recent years broken through into vast
- and ancient labyrinthine underground cities in Turkey. Although
- several 'cities' have been found, the largest seems to lie
- beneath Derenkuyu. These underground villages are quite
- extensive, with many levels, and in some places contain tunnels
- only 3 or 4 ft. in diameter (apparently constructed this way for
- defense purpose) that lead to other chambers or other levels.
- According to tradition, many of these cities were utilized by
- early Christians escaping persecution. It is not known however
- whether the Christians built the cities or whether the
- underground villages are of more ancient origin. According to
- Kurt Braun, in his article 'Underground Civilization Attacks
- German Archaeologists', in 'BEYOND REALITY' (Dec. 1968); some men
- who were exploring the lower depths of the Derenkuyu labyrinth
- were at one point 'attacked' by tall, albino-like humans. Since
- most of the underground 'cities' have not been fully explored it
- is uncertain just how extensive they are or if they connect lower
- down.

- John A. Keel, in his book, 'THE EIGHTH TOWER' (Saturday
- Review Press., N.Y., 1975), pp. 53-54,129, stated: "...A woman
- in Gaffney, South Carolina, was plagued by eerie hums and strange
- mechanical sounds in the mid-1960s. She complained to the local
- police that someone was digging tunnels under her house, but a
- thorough investigation yielded nothing... During my own
- investigations into the mountains of northern New Jersey, I
- wandered uncomfortably through old caves half-filled with water
- after local residents had told me of hearing sounds of pulsing
- machines... To the UFO cultists these sounds are supposed to be
- coming from the marvelous space ships of mysterious
- extraterrestrial travelers. Another group (and it is a large
- group) sees these as evidence of the existence of 'Deros'--
- detrimental robots--who live in the bowels of the earth and are
- up to no good... In May 1969 Jose Antonio, a Brazilian soldier,
- underwent (an) experience when he was kidnapped by a group of
- tiny humanoids, and transported to a cavernlike room of stone.
- There his captors offered him a drink from a stone cube with a
- pyramidal cavity in the center. It was a dark green liquid, with
- a bitter taste. But he said he felt better after drinking it."
-
- In his book 'ON THE SHORES OF ENDLESS WORLDS' (Souvenir
- Press), Andrew Tomas, in his chapter "Labyrinths and Serpents",
- states: "...According to legend, King Minos of Crete ordered his
- architect Daedalus to construct the labyrinth, a maze of passages
- so ingeniously devised that even the builder himself could not
- find his way without a plan. In the center lived the Minotaur,
- half bull, half human, to whom the Greeks sent seven youths and
- seven maidens as a tribute every nine years. The Minotaur was
- slain by Theseus who was able to find his way out of the
- labyrinth thanks to a ball of thread given to him by Ariadne.
- This myth has been interpreted as an historical record of the
- construction of the palace of Minos in Knossos which contains
- innumerable galleries and rooms. On the other hand, this myth
- may have an entirely different interpretation, similar to a
- cryptogram, which conceals the existence of a secret repository
- of underground chambers and passages..." Although this might
- seem to be just a "legend", there are alleged accounts of actual
- encounters with paraphysical (part supernatural, part physical)
- "demonic" creatures such as the satyres, centuars, and Minotaurs,
- etc. which have been described in Greek mythology. Such
- encounters often involve paraphysical "poltergeist-like"
- phenomena and manipulation of mind and matter. According to some
- sources, a race of beings possessing a combination of humanoid,
- angelic and animal-like characteristics pre-dated Adamic
- civilization and were involved in the original rebellion and
- conspiracy against the Creator. The creatures mentioned in the
- 9th chapter of the book of Revelation "may" be this type of
- demonic or fallen entity. These were apparently distinct from
- the purely spiritual angelic and fallen angelic beings.
- Whether the following account describes an encounter with such a
- fallen race(s) remains to be seen. The letter we quote here
- appeared in the Winter, 1962 issue of THE HIDDEN WORLD, one of
- several publications which grew out of the "Shaver Mystery"
- controversy of the late 1940's:
-
- "Mr. Richard Shaver: Hoping this letter finds you in the
- best of health. My name is Frank J. Mezta. I live in the County
- of Imperial Valley, City of Calexico, California.
-
- "Through accident I happened to stumble into your book
- HIDDEN WORLD issue No. A-1 and just recently A-2. I sometimes
- wonder if it was luck or deliberate action on the part of a tero.
- All my life, I have been looking and asking for certain, unsolved
- and unanswered questions regarding civilization, our ancestors
- and the beginning of time. I believe your book gave me the best
- answers. Let me tell you a few of my expeditions.
-
- "Two years ago, we went treasure hunting in the interior of
- Mexico, which turned out to be a flop. But in that excursion
- some strange things happened to us, which at the time we wrote
- off as superstition. We went to this place where we were
- supposed to enter; but suddenly a fright with chills came over
- me, something I had never felt before. Something like a sixth
- sense, like if I knew something was going to happen to me. I
- didn't go in and neither did anybody else. Next day we
- approached the cave again, only this time I wasn't afraid and I
- let the group inside. This cave was tremendous in size, and
- leading passages everywhere. Some of these passages or chambers,
- sometimes being 30 ft. high and 100 ft. long (contained)
- connecting tunnels. We finally gave up, but in retreating we
- found two leading passages instead of the one we had entered.
- This startled us, and we set to investigate the second tunnel.
- It just kept winding and going down so we finally gave up and got
- out of there.
-
- "When we got back to the village we struck a conversation
- with two Mexican Indians, and they told us that whatever we did,
- not to go into the enchanted caves. We got curious and asked
- them where these so called enchanted caves were. They gave us
- directions and that was exactly where we had entered a few days
- ago. We asked them what happened in these caves. They told us
- that people that went in there, never came out, that while in
- there, the entrances and tunnels would change, which happened to
- us, and we didn't know about this till after we had been in
- there. Then they told us the strangest thing, which at the time
- we said these people are superstitious, they said that they went
- with an expedition with 20 or 30 men hired by an American man to
- look into this cave. This happened about 10 or 15 years ago they
- said. Four or five of the men had revolvers, they were well
- equipped with lights and tools. While they were working there
- all of a sudden in the far end there appeared a half man and bull
- head like a bull upright. This description fits the one you have
- on your front cover on issue A-1. And next to him was a naked
- midget or little boy. They pulled out their revolvers but they
- wouldn't fire, and their lights went out. There was confusion,
- and several men were killed in the scramble and nobody returned
- after that - Frank J. Mezta, 939 Genge, Calexico, Calif."
-
- In recent years, much has been written about the so-called
- "National Defense" underground facilities, some of which have
- become public knowledge due to the apparent "fall" of Communism
- in the former Soviet Union. It is alleged that these facilities
- do serve or have served as National Defense shelters, yet
- according to some they "flow in" via tube-shuttles to other
- subterranean systems which are involved in the secret government
- "Alternative 002" scenario, underground bio-genetic laboratories,
- and even subterranean systems involving "alien" scenarios as
- well. Mt. Weather, near Bluemont, VA., is the site of an actual
- "underground city" constructed and maintained by the U.S.
- Government for the purpose of being utilized "by the President"
- and top governmental officials as a command center in the event
- of a nuclear war or a similar emergency. It is uncertain whether
- this installation was entirely excavated by the U.S. government
- or whether they utilized and added-on to already-existing natural
- subterranean cavities, but most reports state that the
- "installation" is enormous. It was virtually unknown to the
- media until a plane crashed near Mt. Weather in northern
- Virginia, forcing the government to acknowledge the existence of
- the underground complex. It allegedly consists of miles upon
- miles of underground tunnels which connect scores of chambers,
- offices, recreation centers, cafeterias, etc., all reportedly
- accessible via a system of 'electric cars'. It is apparently one
- of the major 'bolt holes' (a code-name for a series of about a
- hundred, possibly more, such government installations located in
- America and overseas) which is being utilized by the U.S.
- government. Witnesses have stated that helicopters have at times
- been seen landing in a secret port in the side of Mt. Weather.
- These craft then enter the mountain via enormous metal 'doors' in
- the side of the mountain. In reference to Mt. Weather, the
- editor of 'THE MISSING LINK', published by UFOCC (UFO Contact
- Center International) of Federal Way, Washington, stated:
-
- "A...paper on caves, tunnels, etc. states that there is a
- tube shuttle from the White House to a super-secret underground
- complex in case of nuclear attack, under Mt. Weather, Virginia!"
-
- Incidentally, a man in Florida (who will remain anonymous
- for obvious reasons) who claimed to have been "abducted" by alien
- entities, also alleged that he had a friend who was a high-level
- officer in the government, with a very high security clearance.
- He stated that his friend was involved in interviewing military
- personnel who had "UFO-type" encounters, and other forms of
- debriefing and, we can assume, other methods utilized to maintain
- the cover-up. This government officer had allegedly been to
- Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio and had
- personally seen some of the "alien cadavers" which were recovered
- from disks which had crashed. He was also, he claimed, allowed
- entrance into a top-secret system of underground tunnels beneath
- Washington D.C., and had visited a highly classified underground
- installation which apparently was the 'real' or 'inner' Central
- Intelligence Agency, and that the one at Langley was merely the
- 'outer' level of the CIA. This 'installation', he said, was
- connected to the White House via a TUBE SHUTTLE! Could this
- Florida man's friend have been referring to Mt. Weather, or a
- similar installation? Or was he referring to the alleged
- CIA-NSA-MIB installation deep below Washington D.C. itself, the
- so-called 'NOD' installation?
-
- In addition to this, there are other sources who claim that
- the CIA installation at Langley descends at least seven levels,
- and that some of the (recovered?) disks are housed in these lower
- levels.
-
- A researcher by the name of Jon Singer, stated the following
- in an article of his which appeared in 'THE MISSING LINK'
- (mentioned earlier): "Our nation's capital has it's share of
- Fortean mysteries. There is supposed to be a tunnel complex
- under the Octagon House at 1741 New York Avenue, NW. Dr. John
- Thornton, the architect who designed the Capitol Building, built
- some (but not all) of the tunnels. The course of at least two of
- the tunnels is known. One is supposed to go to the White House
- and the other supposedly leads to the Potomac. The tunnels are
- supposedly blocked up. Jim Brandon, on p. 58 of (his book)
- 'WEIRD AMERICA' (1978. E.P. Dutton & Co., N.Y.), added that the
- tunnels built by Dr. Thornton were only part of a much older and
- larger tunnel network constructed by colonists from Atlantis.
- Unfortunately his sources were two unidentified psychics, so this
- must be a fascinating rumor." This would depend upon whether
- these "revelations" were received by these psychics via
- "occult" means, in which case they should be viewed with great
- suspicion, or whether they based their claims on actual physical
- accounts. However, Richard Toronto, editor of SHAVERTRON,
- claimed that some years ago as a result of a printed request for
- information on subterranean anomalies, a scientist contacted him
- offering a 10-page report on a system of tunnels he had
- personally investigated beneath Washington D.C. He stated that
- the tunnels were built by a very ancient race, and that the walls
- consisted of a diamond-hard, glassy or glaze-like substance. As
- far as we know, Mr. Toronto never did actually get his hands on
- the report.
