1A more poetic sort hypothesized two inner suns, and named them Pluto and Proserpine appropriately enough.
2Admiral Donitz at the Nuremburg Trials:"The German submarine fleet is proud of having built an invisible fortification for the Führer, anywhere in the world," and "an invisible fortification, in midst of the eternal ice," which could really refer to any number of places; Antarctica, the North Sea, Finland, Minneapolis, etc
3For more information, one can see "Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed," a book that has at least 2,000 copies on hand in Portuguese in Brazil as of 1992 (that was an exhausting string of prepositions), features an in-depth interview with a (supposedly) noted Psychic Archeologist and Egyptologist(for more information on the connection between "Psychic Archeology" and "Egyptology," See "Ægypt" by John Crowley (if one prefers one's education presented in fictional form), or any decently researched history of the Gypsy ethnicity (if non-fiction is more aligned with one's favor), and discusses "more than 10 crystal skulls"(is there a crystal skull enthusiast out there who would not waste his time upon any dubious tome that concerns itself with only 9 crystal skulls? It isn't as if we are discussing Kabalists here)
4Marshall Gardener cited the discovery of a woolly mammoth carcass frozen in Siberia as evidence that these creatures yet existed in his theorized inner world, occasionally migrating to the surface. While I'm on the subject of extinct mammals, Behold the Glyptodon:
"0600 Hours- All preparations are complete for our flight north ward and we are airborne with full fuel tanks at 0610 Hours....
0910 Hours- Both Magnetic and Gyro compasses beginning to gyrate and wobble, we are unable to hold our heading by instrumentation. Take bearing with Sun compass, yet all seems well. The controls are seemingly slow to respond and have sluggish quality, but there is no indication of Icing!
0915 Hours- In the distance is what appears to be mountains.
0949 Hours- 29 minutes elapsed flight time from the first sight ing of the mountains, it is no illusion. They are mountains and consisting of a small range that I have never seen before...
1130 Hours- Countryside below is more level and normal (if I may use that word). Ahead we spot what seems to be a city!!!! This is impossible! Aircraft seems light and oddly buoyant. The controls refuse to respond!! My GOD!!! Off our port and star board wings are a strange type of aircraft. They are closing rapidly alongside! They are disc-shaped and have a radiant quality to them. They are close enough now to see the markings on them. It is a type of Swastika!!! This is fantastic. Where are we! What has happened. I tug at the controls again. They will not respond!!!! We are caught in an invisible vice grip of some type...
1145 Hours- I am making a hasty last entry in the flight log. Several men are approaching on foot toward our aircraft. They are tall with blond hair. In the distance is a large shimmering city pulsating with rainbow hues of color. I do not know what is going to happen now, but I see no signs of weapons on those approaching. I hear now a voice ordering me by name to open the cargo door. I comply...
These last few years elapsed since 1947 have not been kind...I now make my final entry in this singular diary. In closing, I must state that I have faithfully kept this matter secret as directed all these years. It has been completely against my values of moral right. Now, I seem to sense the long night coming on and this secret will not die with me, but as all truth shall, it will triumph and so it shall.
This can be the only hope for mankind. I have seen the truth and it has quickened my spirit and has set me free! I have done my duty toward the monstrous military industrial complex. Now, the long night begins to approach, but there shall be no end. Just as the long night of the Arctic ends, the brilliant sunshine of Truth shall come again....and those who are of darkness shall fall in it's Light..FOR I HAVE SEEN THAT LAND BEYOND THE POLE, THAT CENTER OF THE GREAT UNKNOWN."
6Richard Shaver, accused by some as being the "true father of UFO-logy," composed a lengthy, rambling, and allegedly quite sexually explicit in it's unexpurgated form essay published in Amazing Stories magazine circa 1943 concerning the peoples of the inner world; Deros, or Detrimental Robots, who made contact with Shaver through aggressive telepathy. Shaver claimed that the Deros used machines to project unpleasant thoughts into the minds of Surface Men, being responsible for many, if not all, of Surface Man-kind's moral failings. Many people who themselves heard voices in their heads concluded that Shaver was on to something.
7According to Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre, the inner city of Agarttha/Aghartha/Agarta is a fantastic realm of divine beauty lying underneath the planet's crust that humanity shall only be admitted to once a level of divine grace has been attained by all, or in his words, "When the Anarchy which exists in our world is replaced by the Synarchy." In regards to this, and many of the various outlandish concepts that have been hungrily devoured whole by those yearning for some rare element of extra-ordinary meaning in their lives through the ages (see: The Book of the Rosy Cross, The Hermetic and Alchemical Writings of Paracelsus, the Theosophists, etc); I propose that there does not exist an allegory of such fanciful nature that some hopeful acolyte will not take said allegory for literal truth.
