The Hollow Earth Theory by Larry Gedney This article is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska
Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Larry Gedney is a seismologist at the Institute. Illustration from the October 1882 issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine, showing
the appearance of Symmes' Hole near the North Pole. One can never be sure just how serious they are about it, but there does exist a group of people
who call themselves the "Flat-Earth Society" (remember the news item about the old gentleman who was invited to Cape Kennedy
to watch an Apollo moon launch, but came away convinced that it was all a hoax?). There is another group, equally vocal, who
believe that the earth is hollow. Several years ago, a group of "believers" informed a member of the Geophysical Institute
staff that there was an opening to the center of the earth in the Alaska Range, and that this was an entry and exit point
for flying saucers. Modern-day proponents of the hollow earth theory can refer nonbelievers to the book The
Hollow Earth (Bell Publishing Company, 1979) by Raymond Bernard. Bernard, judging from the initials he lists behind his
name, holds just about every advanced academic degree, but is apparently somewhat of a recluse. As a spokesman for the publisher
states in a foreword to the book, "I will not enter into any correspondence regarding this book--or the author. Whether you
accept or reject the content of this book is your privilege. No one cares." The crux of the hollow earth theory is that the earth is a shell with walls about 800 miles
thick. In the polar regions there are holes 1400 miles across, with edges that curve smoothly from the outside of the shell
around to the inside. A sea or surface traveler could proceed over an edge of the hole, like an ant crawling over the lip
of a coffee mug from the outside to the inside, and not be aware that he was actually entering the interior of the earth.
Bernard explains that the holes have never been seen from the air because pilots are fooled by their compasses into believing
that they are crossing the pole, when they are actually following the hole's "magnetic rim". Thus aircraft never really fly
over the geographic poles, which naturally mark the centers of the holes themselves. As irrefutable proof of his claim, he
cites Admiral Byrd's statement, "I'd like to see that land beyond the Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the Great Unknown." The hollow earth theory actually seems to have been originated in the early 1800s by John Symmes,
an earnest American who devoted the greater part of his later life to convincing the world that the earth was formed by a
series of concentric shells. Symmes believed that there were miles of wondrous unclaimed domain beneath our feet, with lush
vegetation and fish and game for the taking. Apparently, there were those who took him seriously. As reported in the October
1882 issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine, a Mr. Howgate had recently been in the news, proposing that an expedition
be made to discover "Symmes' Hole." His plan was to have a number of men acclimate themselves to higher and higher latitudes,
moving further north each year. They were to observe the animals that presumably wintered over within the earth each year
and emerged during the spring to bear young. Eventually, the colony of men were to follow the animals in the fall to find
where they entered into that marvelous land at the center of the earth. Sadly for this romantic concept, if today's believers are correct, the only thing that they
would find there now are flying saucers. Copy of the cover of According to Mr. Bernard (see diagram above) our world is hollow, with the crust of the earth
being 800 miles thick. There exists two openings at the North and South Pole, each hole having a circumference of 1400 miles
wide. At the center of the earth is not a molten core but an inner sun which is six hundred miles wide and is 2900 miles from
the Inner Surfaces. The diameter of the lip at the opening at the poles is 1200 miles long, thus a person can not see the
other side of the opening.
Therefore, there exists three worlds on our planet, the outer surface, where we live, the middle earth
which purportedly is lined with many caverns, tunnels (made by someone), Inner Cities and people who live there and lastly
the Inner Surface. How Gravity works then is the following. For the people who live on the outer surface, Gravity holds them
down. For the people that live in the middle earth, the closer they get to the center of the crust (i.e. - 400 miles down),
the less effect gravity will have upon them. In the book, "Etidorhpa", when this individual traveling down into the earth
reached the center of gravity, i.e. where there is no gravity --- he was able to move by the power of his mind, his heart
stop beating and he didn't need to eat. He described gigantic vegetation that lives under the earth as this lesser pull of
gravity allows things to grow larger. Lastly for the people who live on the inner surface, they would also feel gravity pull
on them to walk on this surface but since there is an inner sun they would have sunlight 24 hours a day. There is supposedly
land masses and water bodies that exist on the Inner Earth, the same as the outer surface except the vibration and energy
in the Inner Earth is more pure and of a higher vibrational frequency (some say a 4th dimensional frequency).
For people who have claimed to travel to the Inner Earth, they state that the people they encounter
in this region are usually very tall. Some other individuals have speculated that descendants of Atlantis and Lemuria live
in this Inner Utopia and therefore they are thousands of years ahead of us technologically and spiritually. Some others say
that possibly the Mayans may have gone into this location as well, to explain where they disappeared. Again, according to
our channeler Michael Kant, he claims that 12 galactic races came to our Earth long ago and created their first city underground
in the 4 Corners area. Each race brought with them a crystal skull and body which contained the gentic coding of their race
and cosmic knowledge. Six tribes decided to stay on the surface of the Earth and Six tribes went into the Inner Earth. Now
all twelve tribe exist in the Inner Earth. It is also believed that other Extraterrestrial races may have bases in the Inner
Earth as well. Michael describes in our book being taken by a Pleiadian Space Ship and given a tour of the Inner Earth.
In 1982, while traveling on faith throughout the western part of the U.S., I had the fortune to meet
Ed Palmer in Portland, Oregon, who is the founder of the Cosmic Science Research Center. Ed told us a very strange tale about
how he was an exchange baby, that he was originally from Orion but when he was very small, the true Ed Palmer was exchanged
for him. He claimed that when he has had a physical examination that there are some differences in his body and also that
he has some type of mental plate in his head in which if a UFO comes close, he hears a buzzing sound. Even though Ed was in
his 70's or 80's, he definitely had more energy and excitement of life than I at this time (being 27). In any case, Ed gave
us a pamphlet that he shared with others about the Hollow Earth. In this pamphlet it said that all planets are Hollow (in
Bernard's book, Mr. Bernard explains that what appears to be the pole cap we see of Mars, is actually the light of Mar's inner
sun shining out of the pole. Furthermore Bernard states that the Aurora Borealis that is only visible up north is the reflection
of the inner sun off clouds passing over the opening of the pole. Also that some explorers of the North Pole have discovered
the closer they get to the Pole, the warmer it gets instead of the colder. Could the Mammoths discovered frozen in Siberia
with fresh food in their mouth be actually Mammoths that live in the Inner Earth which has a warmer climate, and somehow got
lost and wondered into the outer surface?) and that Ed even had a ride on a UFO to the moon which is hollow and that the ETs
use the moon to construct spacecraft inside, hidden from our prying eyes. Ed explains that when a planet is formed it is first
just gas which is rotating. He said that the heavy particles eventually expand out and create the planet's surface and the
lighter particles contract to form the central sun.
Another connection with the Inner Earth relates to Admiral Byrd. It is purported that when the Admiral
went to explore the North Pole that he actually entered into the Inner Earth at the opening at this pole. Included below,
you will see a purported diary by Admiral Byrd that discusses he made contact with an advanced people in this area who showed
him their world and asked for him to take a message back to the surface dwellers and government of their concern about a future
vision they had of our destroying our world and since this is their home as well, they of course wanted to prevent this. If
such a people do exist, it is theorized that possibly some of the UFOs we see are not extraterrestrial but intraterrestials,
as our elder brothers keep an eye on us. It would require a spacecraft that can negate the force of gravity to fly out ouf
the Polar Openings as gravity would pull any boat or airplane to follow the outer-to-inner surface. Another spiritual channel
we have been in communication with is Christine Hayes of the Star of Isis Foundation in San Antonio, Texas. She claims to
be receiving telepathic information from the people who live in the Inner Earth.
