Are aliens that are normally associated with UFOs really an off shoot of the human race trapped underground?

Question

Are aliens actually part of humanity got entrapped in big caverns deep inside earth and have been living there for thousands of years and recently managed to bore their way out showing their distinct technology which is apparently superior to ours? Is it true that their social structure, consisting mainly of masters and slaves, is in our standards the utmost evil ?

Answer 1

Yeah. That's it...

Answer 2

You're "Grounded"!

No more TV watching, until you're 18!

Answer 3

If humans exist, also others exist as well... WHERE???  NO slightest idea, but if they do exist, they are better than us...

Answer 4

How did they develop flying machines if they live underground? not much room for test flights, unless the earth is like a hollow shell.

Answer 5

Um... First of all, UFO means "unidentified flying object." That does not mean its aliens.

Answer 6

It could be, many other creatures come from middle earth  loch ness monster, yeti, big foot etc. And UFOs have been seen rising out of the sea

Answer 9

Umm yes

Answer 10

Edgar Rice Borroughs Pellucidar series had the hollow earth with a sun in the center. Then there's Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" plus a number of dreadful movies.

The idea seems to go back to the 17th century but took hole in the 19th. Big entrances at the poles, the northern lights are the interior sun shinning through, and so on. Lots and lots of imagination.

Now about a nasty gang of facts:

1. We have Goggle Earth. There are no openings.

2. Things like earthquakes can be measured by their speed and intensity. Hollow spaces would change the numbers from what's expected.

3.Recently the Russians dropped off some metal flags at the bottom of the Arctic basin. No hole but it was wet.

4. Most of the UFO technology is maybe a century ahead of ours. So where's their Stealth? How do UFOs appear on radar? Then there are the UFO crashes from the 1800s. These UFOs were powered by propellers

I know, "Well science can't explain..." Critical thinking has you question claims and statements. You don't have to disprove someone's claim. You require that they provide the proof.

The more extraordinary the claim, the more extraordinary the evidence that's required. In other words, someone has made a spurious claim and is now tasking you to furnish the facts to disprove it. Isn't that backwards?

There's a saying I like: "It's totally fictitious, so can never be disproved." With most fantastic claims there's more then a bit of paranoia and conspiracy. Disprove one part of the claim the person either:

1. Brings up another part ("But what about...Huh?"

2. Blames it all on the government hiding stuff.

3. Blames the "established scientific establishment"

4. Attacks you personally.

5. Yells louder.

The scientific method requires that you observe, collect data and test a theory (aka "explanation"). If the theory is disproved by the facts, you change the theory, not the facts!
