Flying Ships, Humanoids, and Creatures of the Subterranean World

"Flying Ships, Humanoids, and Creatures of the Subterranean World" is a wealth of source material on the Hollow Earth theory, which proposes that the earth does not consist of molten metal at its core, but is instead quite hollow.

This book was originally printed in small quantities, and thus became extremely rare and expensive. Finally, it has once again been made available to the general public.

In this Saucerian roundtable discussion, hosted by Gray Barker, several luminaries in the paranormal field offer their thoughts on the Inner Earth theory. Does the subterranean world support several different races of sentient beings, as well as impressive underground cities linked by underground tunnels? Do surface dwellers sometimes stumble upon above-ground openings to this subterranean realm? Do we often meet the denizens of the underworld and not even know it?

After reading these pages, you may begin to question all you have heard from modern science about this topic.

Much of our current information about the Hollow Earth comes from a man named Richard Shaver, a former spot-welder on Detroit automobile assembly lines. One day, Shaver began to hear strange voices projected at him as he went about his work. Following the trail that began with that unearthly auditory experience, Shaver eventually came to the conclusion that the voices were coming from somewhere beneath the surface, from a race of creatures he called the "Deros" (short for "degenerate robots").

The Deros have a story of their own. They were once a gentle race who lived on the surface of Earth, until it became apparent that the sun was going through a phase where more dangerous radiation was being projected onto our planet.

Some of the Deros escaped by going into space in their highly-developed spacecraft, but not all of them managed to do so. Those forced to remain went underground and built the cities referred to above. Unfortunately, the sun's poisonous radiation also caused them to go insane and to develop cruel and sadistic personality traits. It is because of their evil madness that mankind suffers so much today.

Shaver himself experienced some bizarre mistreatments as he sought to learn more about the mysterious Deros. Shaver eventually published many of his Dero tales in a magazine called "Amazing Stories," which were so popular that they greatly increased the magazine's circulation.

But Shaver's story of the Deros is only one of many versions of what may lie inside Earth's mantle. "Flying Ships, Humanoids, and Creatures of the Subterranean World" also offers the insightful ruminations of Gray Barker, Raymond Palmer, T. Lobsang Rampa, Dr. Raymond Bernard (author of the classic "The Hollow Earth"), John J. Robinson, Riley Crabb, and Tim Beckley, who all share different legends and personal experiences.

Is there a hidden paradise below our feet where beautiful, spiritually benevolent creatures reside alongside cruel and dangerous ones? Although this might seem a little far-fetched at first, can you think of a better explanation for the millions of cases throughout mankind's history where ordinary people have seen UFOs, creature entities, and Men in Black?

If you have an appetite for unsolved mysteries that extend beyond the realm of the safe and the knowable, this overview may just be your cup of tea. And it is good strong brew.
