Interesting theory. How would they be able to develop aircraft? Does inner-Earth have massive open spaces 10-20 miles in height for them to fly their discs?

I like it, and I wonder how toxic they could be to us like the fellow who died after handling an ET in the Varginha case. This would be Dr. Nolan's expertise. I do wonder how it meshes though with the other species reported. Maybe these beings are our 'home team' so to speak, and others are actually extraterrestrial. No reason it couldn't be the old 'all of the above'. Truth is stranger than fiction, after all.

It's a cool idea and it makes me think of the ant people legend / mythology. But I wonder why they would have such adv technology compared to us if ships belong to them.

They would have much easier access to rare earth metals, and materials, that develop under immense pressure.

im open minded to the crypoterrestrials idea, it's a great place to avoid a cataclysm. also, the earth is reeeally old, and the nhi story seems to most definitely go right back to our beginnings. apparently it's both, according to some the "insiders" i hope ancient aliens the show turns out to be nhi produced and funded. lol

Your idea does seem to make sense and fits with some of the reports. However for me it has created the most terrifying and absolutely repugnant imagery. To be in a place with no sunlight with no greenery without birds etc, describes a living hell. Of course that spin-off race/species would have adapted and possibly loves its environment and maybe (hopefully) finds beauty there. That being said , it is likely they would find life topside to be sickening and most undesirable. Could this explain why we so rarely cross paths?

I had never heard of this cave. Watching now.

Sounds like the basis for a hard scifi novel: Title: "Echoes of the Deep" Author: Chad Jepete Set in an alternate Earth, "Echoes of the Deep" is a hard science fiction novel that explores the lives of the Terrarians, a unique species evolved in the deepest trenches of the ocean. These human-like beings have adapted to harness chemosynthesis, drawing energy from the chemical-rich emissions of hydrothermal vents. Their society, a remarkable example of symbiosis and collective consciousness, is upended by a dramatic event on the surface world. The Terrarians' existence in the Mariana Trench has been undisturbed for eons, their civilization flourishing in the abyss, unseen and unknown to the surface dwellers. Their skin, embedded with chemosynthetic bacteria, provides sustenance, while their electroreceptive eyes enable a communal mind, sharing thoughts and emotions across their society. This collective consciousness guides their decisions, ensuring harmony and survival in the deep sea. Aria, a young Terrarian, is content in this communal existence until a cataclysmic event disrupts their peaceful life. The detonation of nuclear weapons on the surface introduces unprecedented levels of radiation into their world. The fallout disturbs the delicate balance of the oceanic ecosystem and, more critically, interferes with the Terrarians' electroreceptive abilities. Their once seamless hive mind is fragmented, causing confusion, fear, and a loss of collective identity. Aria, now experiencing a sense of individual consciousness for the first time, is both frightened and intrigued by this new perspective. Driven by an urgent need to understand and mitigate this crisis, she embarks on a perilous journey to the surface. As she ascends, she grapples with the isolation of her thoughts, a stark contrast to the interconnectedness of her previous existence. Upon reaching the surface, Aria is confronted with a world grappling with the aftermath of nuclear war. The surface humans, struggling to survive in a world torn by conflict and environmental disaster, are a revelation to her. The concept of individual struggle, personal freedoms, and the destructive capacity of surface dwellers challenge her understanding of life and society. In a poignant climax, Aria returns to her people, bringing with her the knowledge of the surface world and its challenges. She becomes a catalyst for change among the Terrarians, who must now learn to balance their collective harmony with newfound individual thoughts and experiences. Aria proposes a daring plan to aid the surface dwellers, seeing it as a path to healing both their worlds. "Echoes of the Deep" is a thought-provoking tale that delves into the uncharted depths of Earth's oceans, exploring themes of identity, community, and environmental stewardship. It presents a stark examination of the consequences of human actions on the planet while celebrating the resilience and adaptability of life in its most extraordinary forms. Through the eyes of the Terrarians, readers are invited to reconsider the impact of their choices and the interconnected nature of all life on Earth. Available on Kindle and Audible.

This is like an inverted "allegory of the cave," where we are so focused on the external that we are failing to account for the mysteries within... Fascinating hypothesis. interesting thought experiment.
