According to one exciting report from Harvard University, the truth isn’t out there after all – in fact, aliens are already here on Earth and have been for some time.
While waiting to be peer-reviewed, the premise is simple.
Extraterrestrial life is dwelling on Earth underground, as well as on the Moon.

Controversially, it also states that UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) evidence them getting around.
Who is behind the Harvard alien claims?
The authors of the paper are working from Harvard University’s Human Flourishing Program.
The controversial paper has been taken down from ResearchGate, but you can still see it via Internet Archive.
Its exact title is: “The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis: A case for scientific openness to a concealed earthly explanation for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena”.
A bold, new take on UAP
UAP are any objects or phenomena that cannot be immediately identified or explained by human-made or natural sources.
The ‘A’ in UAP represents ‘anomalous’, rather than ‘aerial’ -with some UAP being seen underwater – or in this case – underground.
As showcased in this footage captured by an airline passenger over New York City, UAPs have been reported in various shapes, and sizes, with flight patterns that defy aerodynamics.
A 2023 report from the Office for the Director of National Intelligence found there were 510 UAP sightings in 2022.
Of these, 171 ‘appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis’.
The Harvard paper read: “Hypotheses for such phenomena tend to fall into two classes: a conventional terrestrial explanation (e.g., human-made technology), or an extraterrestrial explanation (i.e., advanced civilizations from elsewhere in the cosmos).”
“However, there is also a third minority class of hypothesis: an unconventional terrestrial explanation, outside the prevailing consensus view of the universe,” they wrote.
“This is the ultraterrestrial hypothesis, which includes as a subset the ‘cryptoterrestrial’ hypothesis, namely the notion that UAP may reflect activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on Earth (e.g., underground), and/or its near environs (e.g., the moon), and/or even “walking among us” (e.g., passing as humans).”
The aliens, the theories and their detractors
The paper discusses four theories of how aliens could live alongside us: the human cryptoterrestrials theory suggests an ancient, secret human civilization more technologically advanced than our own.
The second theory discusses a technologically advanced non-human civilization that similarly evolved on Earth in secret.
Think ape-like hominids or ‘unknown, intelligent dinosaurs’.
The third suggests aliens or humans from the future living on Earth in secret.
And last, but not least, the fourth suggests ”magical cryptoterrestrial’ akin to ‘earthbound angels’.
The researchers even compare these to ‘fairies, elves, nymphs’.
They also admit that the ‘weakness’ of their theory stems from its ‘utter strangeness’.
“Although this idea is likely to be regarded skeptically by most scientists, such are the nature of some UAP that we argue this possibility should not be summarily dismissed, and instead deserves genuine consideration in a spirit of epistemic humility and openness,” the paper reads.
“I think it highly, highly unlikely that any other civilization could have been living on Earth or the Moon undetected the whole time—I just don’t think that sounds feasible,” Jonti Horner, an astrophysics professor at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia, told Newsweek.
He also spoke of the ‘strange phenomena’ reported by pilots, that the University of Utah is currently trying to debunk as satellites.
What’s more, the US has spoken out on what most UFO sightings actually are.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
