Earth

by Timothy Good

  “These Old Ones dated back several hundred million years (and yet, taking planet Earth as a criterion, there’s been more than enough time for fifty such races to have arisen, achieved godlike eminence, decayed, and fallen into silence). Often, in his joking manner, Harmonious spoke of the many planets that are around our sun and are still undiscovered. He was quite casual about the surface features of the planets, probably because he never spent much time there—he was always in them, not on them. I get the impression that there may be others, not of the Old People, utilizing these planets; apparently, these others are of little interest to Harmonious (and, by extension, to his friends the Old Ones; they are even something of a joke to him—and again, to the Old Ones).

  “All the Old Ones are of one race, both here and on the other planets. They carry on intercourse with one another here on Earth, the planets, and their various natural satellites (all of which are inhabited underground). They have a great many artificial satellites around the gravitational nodes of all these bodies, which are used, I assume, solely for docking facilities for their interplanetary craft. (All this was told us by Harmonious long before World War II—and certainly long before the first UFO outcry following the Mt. Rainier sightings.) The Old Ones were naked or wore simple loincloths. (We found this amusing.)

  “To extrapolate from Harmonious’s stories of the old people: deep within the core of any planet, the temperature would be controllable given an inexhaustible source of power (and knowledge), and such power is inherent in the very force that created this planet. Incidentally, Harmonious anticipated Velikovsky by some years, when he told us of a disaster of unparalleled magnitude that struck the Earth several hundred millions of years ago, and which he saw reproduced by a recording device similar to a moving picture projector, but unlike it in action: a planetoid approached Earth and caused the complete destruction of the existing atmosphere…. The only life to survive was that in the depths of the seas and deep underground.

  “If this sort of accident occurs in nature as a matter of course, one could well understand why an ancient and immensely intelligent race would choose to modify their environment and live far underground on all the planets, manufacturing all their necessities…. So, according to Harmonious, all the planets are inhabited by a long-lived scientifically advanced race, all living deep beneath the surface (at least well down in the crust—here it would be about thirty-five miles down), all humanoid in appearance, and undoubtedly masters of the solar system. There may be others living on the surfaces; undoubtedly, a younger, inferior race (perhaps remnants of other earlier surface races), but far younger than the Old Ones. On this planet, we are the surface dwellers; we have a long way to go yet—and when we get there, the Old Ones will have been there first, and long since moved on.

  “Considering the foregoing information,” concludes Lou Farish, “perhaps we should reconsider all the various writings on underground civilizations inhabited by advanced cultures (or extraterrestrials), as well as books such as the late M. K. Jessup’s The Case for the UFO.78 Jessup’s comments on the use of ‘gravitational nodes’ by alien spacecraft echo the remarks of Harmonious. If it is accepted that there is someone ‘out there’ who is visiting the Earth, should we then consider that there may also be someone ‘down there’?”79

  I have always been fascinated by the Comte de St. Germain (his most frequently used pseudonym—another of which was the “Count de Welldone”!). Described by Voltaire in his Oevres as “a man who never dies, and who knows everything” and capable of astonishing feats, as witnessed for example by Count Alessandro Cagliostro (the occultist Giuseppe Balsamo), St. Germain seems to have lived for an indeterminate period. Held by many to be a charlatan, he nonetheless liaised with, and was respected by, many government ministers and royal families in Europe, such as the court of Louis XIV. He was also an accomplished violinist and composer. In connection with Harmonious, it is perhaps apposite to note that Dr. Anton Mesmer, also an occultist and fine musician (numbering Mozart and Haydn among his friends), founded the “Harmonious Society,” a secret group of savants based in Vienna and later Paris, and received a great deal of help from St. Germain.80

  It seems likely to me that St. Germain and others of his kind were associated with the “ancient races.”

  I have endeavored in this book to stress the wide diversity of alien beings populating the cosmos, and the diversity of their motives regarding the planet we inhabit.

  We treasure the illusion that we alone are indigenous to Earth, and will remain so. But, as one of Leo Dworshak’s alien friends reaffirmed as far back as 1936, “this planet was their concern, that Man has his own mind, and that he must learn to take care of his planet if he wants to keep his home. [He] assured me our planet would continue to exist. But I was not assured that Man would continue to exist on it, if he did not learn to take better care of his most valuable possession.”

  And as “Thomas” and his military team (Chapter 10) were warned: “Our own activities required monitoring by other than human beings, simply because Earth is a vital and necessary planet for others. We could not be permitted to despoil it even though despoliation had begun and we were doubted as to our integrity and genuine concern for the planet and its myriad life forms.” The aliens reiterated that the overpopulation of Earth, combined with pollution, would lead to catastrophic consequences during the twenty-first century.

  As the Amicizia group informant explained to Nikola Duper in 2009: “The Friends are our elder brothers. They are human. Indeed, in comparison it’s we terrestrials who are less than human. Individuals from various other populations are among us, because the Earth is a very particular planet inside the economy of this part of the Universe….”

  There is said to be an ongoing conflict between various species regarding the future of our planet. “Other populations in the Universe have chosen Evil,” the informant points out. “This dualism between Good and Evil is fundamental in order to understand both the still-ongoing Struggle and why it is so hard for truth to be disclosed to the inhabitants of our planet…. Other populations are here for other reasons, and the abduction by extraterrestrials of terrestrials, as well as the creation of hybrids, is a reality that the Friends told us about as far back as the 1960s….81

  “The enemies are trying to conquer our planet in a very gradual and seemingly painless way, most of all working over our minds. Unfortunately, this is not science fiction. If only it were so! [And] this is not paranoia…. However, just hinting at these subjects leads to the discrediting of the person who says or writes them; and this is a powerful weapon in the hands of those who want to harm us.”

  As to what the future will bring, I do not pretend to know. But I have been assured—by those who do know—that the alien situation presents the most profound dilemma facing humankind on Earth….

As described in both Above Top Secret and Beyond Top Secret, on the afternoon of December 15, 1980, ten days prior to the first of the Rendlesham Forest incidents, an identical craft was observed for well over an hour by numerous witnesses (some with binoculars) over southeast London and northwest Kent. It alternately hovered for lengthy periods, and occasionally seemed to split into up to five separate elements before regrouping into a common element. All this took place in a completely cloudless sky. Thousands of people must have witnessed the display, and a video film was taken from Seal Chart, in the Sevenoaks area. I myself saw the object briefly (as a brilliant, large star-like object) as I was nearing my apartment building after a shopping trip. The time, I noted, was 16:07. Frustratingly, this was one of the rare occasions when I had neither binoculars, camera, nor ciné-camera with me. I dashed the remaining short distance home and opened the windows in preparation for observing the object through my telescope and taking both movie and still film if it turned out to be unusual. But by now the object was no longer visible. It was 16:15. The next day, a journalist phoned to tell me that at least 40 witnesses in Orpington had observed the object since 15:00, some through 20x binoculars. The main object was described to me by one of the witnesses as of an elongated triangular shape—identical to that of the main object which landed in Rendlesham Forest. At 16:15 (the time I arrived home) it pointed itself toward the west and shot off vertically, seemingly dividing into two distinct objects. Curiously, this supportive evidence has been lacking in books on the Rendlesham Forest incidents, though Nick Pope hopes to include some of it in a new book (see below).

In November 1973, for example, when Enrique Castillo Rincón was “beamed” aboard an alien craft in Colombia, he was asked to undress completely. A blue-colored smoke, smelling similar to lemon or lime, issued from a joint between the walls and floor. He was informed that this process disinfected him from whatever microbes he might have brought in. See Unearthly Disclosure. See also the 1977 case reported by Barbara Beavers (Chapter 12).
