A new study from Harvard suggests that aliens could actually live on Earth instead of outer space, residing in hidden regions like 'cryptoterrestrial' lands. Researchers believe that uncharted areas on Earth could serve as hiding places for advanced civilizations, pointing to locations such as Japan's underwater stone structure, the Alaskan Triangle linked to UFO sightings, and even bases under Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano. The study proposes that aliens might be located deep within the Earth, in places like the mantle transition zone, which could potentially support life. The findings challenge traditional views of extraterrestrial life and suggest that their existence could be intertwined with Earth's mysteries.
