John A. Keel, in his book "OPERATION TROJAN HORSE",
confirmed that news records of that time reveal that a
large-scale "UFO flap" did take place in April of 1897, covering
about five states.  Many of the witnesses reported the strange or
hideous type of occupants as described by Hamilton, and Keel
reports that these creatures "made a real effort to hide from the
witnesses who stumbled upon them accidentally..."  Could it be
that these creatures were deliberately attempting to hide
reptilian features, fearing that if the witnesses knew of their
true nature the largely God-fearing residents of this part of the
country might put two and two together?
     Another prominent person - one of the many government-
military-industrial members who are now coming forward with the
truth of the existence of a non-human alien race - is veteran
flying ace John Lear.  John is the son of William Lear, the
original founder of the "Lear" Jet Corp.  He has for several
years been a captain with a major U.S. Airline and has test flown
over 160 different types of aircraft.  Once a die-hard skeptic,
Lear the son has made a complete reversal.  It all began several
years ago when a close friend of his in a high-level position in
the military told John that he was witness to a UFO landing which
took place at the Bentwaters Air Force Base in England, and
during which several small, alien "gray" type creatures were
seen.  Lear decided that he would check into the subject in
greater depth, utilizing his many contacts in the Intelligence
community.  Largely due to the fact that he had flown top-secret
missions for the CIA and other governmental agencies in the past,
he had gained the confidence of several high-level Intelligence
workers.  He took advantage of these contacts and began to pry
into the U.S. Government's own knowledge and experience with the
UFO phenomena.  Although bits and pieces of the scenario were
learned from different sources (some of whom knew only PART, but
not all of the scenario), Lear was amazed to find that all these
pieces of information fell together into one big overall picture,
and a FRIGHTENING picture at that.  One thing which kept coming
up over and over when he probed his Intelligence contacts for
information, was repeated references to a small town in
northwestern New Mexico known as 'Dulce,' where some very strange
and "alien" things were allegedly taking place.
     Lear learned three basic facts from the many CIA and other
Intelligence sources:
     1) The U.S. Government has, since the end of World War II,
retrieved several unidentified objects, mostly disk-shaped, which
had crashed in different regions in both the United States and
overseas.  The occupants retrieved from these various crash sites
were both humanoid and reptoid in nature.  A few from each group
were allegedly recovered alive (and many of these died within a
few years after recovery), but most of the occupants were
deceased when found.  Many of the occupants and objects were
taken to a secret hanger in Wright Patterson Air Force Base
in Ohio, while others were transferred to various other bases
throughout the country.  Most of the occupants were of the
reptilian or saurian "gray" type.  Other 'entities' were found
to be some type of bio-synthetic automaton apparently constructed
in part out of organs taken from mutilation victims.  There is no
indication of what might have animated these other creatures
since they were found to possess a sponge-like consistency all
the way through instead of reptilian or human organs.  Some
however had suggested, based on various findings, that this third
type of entity might have been animated-used as physical "shells"
by non-physical entities desiring to utilize such constructions
in order to work and operate in the physical dimension.  Some of
the technology retrieved from these objects were later used to
develop top-secret aerial craft of Military construction, while
other objects were found in-tact to the point that they could
still be test-flown by military personnel.  After one of the
first such crash/retrievals which took place near Corona and
Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, President Truman assisted in putting
together a top-secret committee consisting of some of the most
prominent scientists, economists and political scientists in the
nation in order to analyze the phenomena and make determinations.
    2) Certain segments of the government, desiring to get
possession of the super-advanced technology utilized by this
alien race, attempted to make contact with them, since these
creatures usually passed themselves off as benevolent
extraterrestrials.  Actually, it was later determined that these
entities are neither benevolent, nor (originally) extra-
terrestrial, although they may have established outposts on
other planetary bodies according to certain sources.  There is
evidence that the Government and the Intelligence Community is
beginning to realize this, but due to certain concessions which
they had made in the past with these creatures without public
consent, they have unfortunately and unknowingly forced
themselves and their people (the U.S. citizens) into a position
which they cannot presently escape from, unless something
miraculous takes place.
     3) It was found that certain "underground bases" existed,
concentrated largely beneath the southwestern United States, with
the largest of them being beneath the area of Dulce, New Mexico. 
The U.S. Government learned of these after years of surveillance
and tracking of UFO flight paths, etc., which forced the "aliens"
to make a "deal" with the government.  This included the exchange
of technology and the use of the UPPER levels of these
underground "bases" if the U.S. Government agreed to consent to
the alien-grays continued "scientific observation" of human
subjects via abductions, and agreed to keep the existence of the
alien presence from the American public.  The U.S. Govt. also
'allowed' the aliens to jointly use some of their own underground
bases.  This was later turned out to be a BIG mistake.  Although
these creatures still maintained a facade of benevolence, they
absolutely refused the majority of the scientists and government
workers within these "joint" bases to enter the lower levels,
much less know that they existed.  The "security clearances"
increased as one descended into these lower levels until such a
point was passed when an individual learned "too much" about what
was going on "down there".  At this point the base workers would
often turn up missing.  But there have been reports given by
individuals who have seen these lower levels which suggest that
the story given by the aliens (i.e. that the "bases" are of
recent construction, are of limited extent, and that the aliens
themselves are of extraterrestrial origin) is not all true.  Some
of these descriptions suggest that these so-called "bases" are
actually hundreds if not thousands of years old, and are
underground systems which connect with ancient tunnel and cavern
networks which literally undermine the American continent and
beyond.  Other sources with "inside" knowledge on these bases
have stated that these underlying systems have for centuries been
the abode of reptilian races native to planet earth, as well as
other hidden human societies with which the saurians have been at
war for ages - the knowledge of whom the reptilians have
attempted to keep from those on the surface (divide and conquer
strategy against the human race).  The government, according to
many sources, began to learn that these creatures were lying to
them.  Also, something began to happen to the minds of the "joint
base" workers operating within these installations.  It seemed as
if some type of occult or mind-manipulating influence was slowly
bringing these workers under it's control; and many witnesses who
had been in these bases and were fortunate enough to live to tell
of it were confused by the fact that most of the human workers
appeared to be nothing less than mindless automatons carrying on
their assigned tasks in almost zombie-like fashion.  Many seemed
to have lost all feeling and personality altogether.  It is not
known just how ancient some of these underground systems are,
although some sources suggest that many of them were of
antediluvian construction.  Such activity as we've indicated has
also allegedly spread to underground bases of government
construction, such as the underground base network existing
beneath the Nevada Military Complex.  Some bases are of
exclusively alien construction, others of human construction,
while still others were found to have already been in existence
since antediluvian times.  Some of the bases such as the one
below 'Dulce' N.M. are allegedly combinations of two or all three
of these constructions - i.e. ancient underground systems which
have been extended by modern alien and/or human occupation.
     The above three paragraphs are scenarios which were related
not only by John Lear, but several other researchers as well.  As
the reader will see, most of the researchers involved (except for
a few who have been exposed as disinformation agents intent on
confusing the issue) have gathered information which fits
perfectly and collectively into one large, overall and
frightening scenario.
     John Lear was the keynote speaker at the 1989 MUFON
conference which was held in Las Vegas.  In his address, Lear
showed portions of actual footage, narrated by Rod Serling, of a
UFO fly-over and subsequent landing at Holloman Air Force Base. 
The film, according to Lear, was commissioned by the government
as part of a mass-education program to inform the public of the
alien presence in an official format.  This was when they still
believed that the (grey) entities were benevolent.  These plans
were dropped however when the "Horrible Truth" became known,
namely that these sauroid "aliens" were not as benevolent as
first believed, but were cunningly using the "space brother"
approach to gain control over the minds of those they came in
contact with.  The top-secret MJ-12 committee and their
superiors, the MAJIC committee, soon learned that hundreds of
HUMAN mutilations were being carried out and that THOUSANDS of
people were being abducted and were never seen again.  MJ-12 ever
since this time seems to have become a rather schizophrenic
organization, attempting to "feed" and appease this 'beast' with
one hand while at the same time attempting to develop the
defensive and offensive technology needed to destroy it with the
other hand.  There are some who suggest that at least part of the
MJ-12 committee and the allied organizations such as the Delta
Group, the Jason Society, and the CIA et al. have at least been
partially infiltrated by the alien influence via implantation and
mind manipulation, especially among those members of the "secret
government" who are associated with some of the more nefarious
activities of certain "Illuminated" secret societies.
     Aside from the underground facilities of New Mexico, Lear
also insists that the saurian grays have taken over the lower
levels of secret U.S. government installations in Nevada as well
(Groom Lake, Dreamland, S-4, Blue Diamond, Mercury, Nevada Test
Site).  Human workers there have also apparently come under their
"spell".  These alien creatures apparently know how to manipulate
the human mind extremely well, as they have probably had
thousands of years experience.  Other sources indicate that these
installations were infiltrated and taken over from BELOW and not
from above.  This would explain the LARGE NUMBER of saurian-
reptilian entities which have allegedly been seen in the extreme
lower levels of the underground systems beneath the Nevada
Military Complex, as they have also been seen in the Dulce, New
Mexico complex - and BOTH of these complexes according to Lear
and others are allegedly connected subterraneously with each
other!  Apparently, during the deep excavations beneath Nevada,
the U.S. government "broke-in" to enormous natural underground
systems and encountered this "alien" race.  This seems to have
taken place unfortunately during the period when the so-called
"treaties" were being made and the government assumed that these
aliens were benevolent.  There are also allegedly "gray" type
entities which have been recovered alive from crash/retrievals
that are being held in the Nevada systems, but even these cannot
account for all the alien activity allegedly taking place beneath
this area.  That is, unless John Lear and other prominent
researchers are putting their very reputations at stake by
perpetrating a collective hoax.
     Many of the workers beneath Nevada's Nellis Air Force Range,
as in New Mexico, are allegedly being controlled through fear,
intimidation and mind manipulation, and are led to believe that
the government is still in control and that everything taking
place is for the good of humanity, when actually the serpent race
is running the program, and as Lear put it, they "don't give a
damn" about the human race.  From various accounts, it seems that
the U.S. Government may have assumed that because of their
diminutive stature, the "grays" were not so much a threat to us
as they possibly could be.  Yet there is also much evidence as
we've said earlier that the saurian "grays" are the BOTTOM LEVEL
of an enormous reptilian "hierarchy".  The Grays are perhaps the
least "offensive looking" of the "Reptoid" species, even though
they are not at all pleasing to look at (especially their eyes),
and they can also be indicted in numerous cattle and even human
mutilation incidents.  They have apparently been chosen to
interface with human beings in order to gain their trust and to
persuade us to let down our guard, establish "treaties" (which
the saurians never intend to keep) and other methods designed to
establish further CONTROL over the human race.  The REAL power
behind this alien hierarchy includes even larger, more secretive
and more grotesque-appearing reptilian branches which, if
encountered, would cause absolute terror in most human beings who
meet up with them.  If all of this sounds like so much "science
fiction", just remember the old saying: "Truth is often stranger
than fiction!"  Also, we have not even begun to record all of the
various corroborating accounts suggesting that such a scenario is
actually taking place.  Please bear with us and let the
documentation speak for itself.  
     As we indicated earlier, shortly after World War II,
according to Lear and others, certain segments of the government
made contact with this saurian-reptilian or "serpent" race.  One
source who does not identify himself but who claims to be a high-
level official in Military Intelligence (this was confirmed by
Timothy Green Beckley of Abelard Press, N.Y., who has published
some of this man's revelations and knows his real identity), goes
by the name of "Commander X".  This (alleged) Intelligence source
claims that the initial contact took place in the 1930's, that
the contact involved members of the government who were tied-in
with the "Order of the Illuminati", and that it was not an
extraterrestrial race but a SUBTERRANEAN race which they came in
contact with.
     In addition to this (although it may sound almost
unbelievable) SEVERAL DOZEN SOURCES, many of whom we will quote
in greater detail further on, claim that HUNDREDS people -
victims of abduction incidents - are being held captive in a 7th
sub-level of the massive underground complex beneath the Dulce,
New Mexico area.  This level, and allegedly deeper levels below
consisting of natural cavern and artificial tunnel systems, are
largely under the control of the saurian-grays and their
reptilian 'overlords.'  The region beneath the four-corners area
of the southwestern U.S., according to various sources, is one of
the major if not THE major center of activity for these non-human
beings in North America.  There are apparently other centers of
activity beneath other continents - i.e. aside from Mt. Archuleta
near Dulce, New Mexico there is Mt. Illampu in South America; the
Pine Gap Plateau in Australia; unspecified underground areas in
Africa; the Manosarowar region of the Himalayan Mts. of Asia; the
island of Malta in Europe; and Mt. Erebus in Antarctica.  These
can be considered as areas of intense subterranean activity,
especially sauroid activity, or areas where paraspeleological
events are concentrated.  Some of these areas are sites where
both saurian AND human activity has been reported, and in some
cases, areas of CONFLICT between saurian and human beings.
     The massive complex beneath the Archuleta plateau near
Dulce, New Mexico, allegedly intersects with other similar bases
or installations in New Mexico and neighboring states, for
instance: Page, Superstition Mts., Arizona; Datil, Pie Town,
Carlsbad, Taos, New Mexico; Creed, Ft. Collins, Colorado, etc. -
that is, this system allegedly connects with underground sites
somewhere NEAR these areas, and others beyond.  Incidentally, the
MAJOR concentrations of cattle mutilations have been in the
southwestern states and, particularly, epicenters on a ranch only
13 miles from the small town of Dulce, New Mexico.  Herds roaming
through that general area have been the MAJOR targets, which
suggests that similar but smaller installations may exist in
other areas with high concentrations of cattle mutilations.
     In 1979, according to John Lear's Intelligence and CIA
sources, a group of government scientists and workers within the
lower levels of the Dulce complex managed to penetrate into the
lower depths of this underground system, and were horrified when
they suddenly came across huge underground chambers filled with
the REMAINS of untold numbers of HUMAN mutilation victims.  Some
of these remains were apparently those of CHILDREN.  Lear and his
sources believe that many of these may have been some of
America's MISSING children!  This, and other indications, suggest
that there may be a "hidden holocaust" taking place deep
underground which may make Hitler's "final solution" appear
insignificant by comparison.
     These workers had no sooner discovered the "Horrible Truth",
according to Lear, then they themselves were taken captive by the
infernal creatures which controlled the deeper levels of this
labyrinth; but not before these workers were able to warn other
government workers above about what was really going on.  When
MJ-12 and other deep-level government agencies learned of the
hostage situation, they decided to send in special forces units
(Delta Forces and Blue Berets, based in Ft. Collins, Colorado -
N.R.O. or National Recon Organization headquarters), in an
attempt to seize the base and set free the people who had been
captured.  When the blood-bath was over nearly 66 of the special
forces soldiers were dead and the "base" was not taken.  I
realize that all of this sounds rather fantastic, but why would
John Lear, and many others who have confirmed the activities
taking place at Dulce, put their entire reputations on the line
to make such earth-shattering claims unless they are absolutely
convinced that such claims were in fact true?
     If the reader is not yet convinced, then we would ask them
to consider the following:
     -- In 1983, New Mexico newspapers reported the "crash" of a
"top secret military aircraft" near Mt. Archuleta, northwest of
Dulce.  The story appeared for a few days and then nothing else
was mentioned.  During the "recovery operation" witnesses
reported hundreds of combat ready troops, "armed to the teeth",
in the area who would run and disappear without a trace when
approached.  Other investigators found a CRESCENT-SHAPED
impression in the ground where the object had landed, as well as
trees which had been broken in half when the craft descended, and
other bizarre signs which were not consistent with the "official"
version of the story.
     -- Mt. Archuleta is in a very rugged area, accessible - on
the surface - only by 4-wheel-drive vehicles.  In 1978 the
Federal Government made an agreement with the Ute Indian tribe
(which has a reservation on the southern border of Colorado, some
miles north of the Archuleta area, and through which runs the
only road by which Mt. Archuleta can be accessed by non-4-wheel-
drive vehicles).  The Ute's agreed to enforce a strict "No
Trespassing" regulation in exchange for certain properties along
the Colorado-New Mexico border.
     -- John F. Gille (the French national and UFO researcher who
helped exposed the Club of Rome - Pine Gap, Australia underground
Base connection), Edmound Gomez (owner of the large ranch 13
miles from Dulce, New Mexico where the majority of the cattle
mutilations in the area took place), and Gabe Valdez (at the time
head of the State Police in Dulce), as well as others
participated in a field investigation.  Because of their
positions, the group were able to go onto the Archuleta Mountain-
Plateau via a 4-wheel-drive trail, on Oct. 23-24, 1988.  Members
of the investigation team later went on record to state that in
the early morning hours while camped atop Archuleta peak they
witnessed a large "boomerang-shaped" object coming from the
northwest at great speed, stop and hover in mid-air, and emit
something like "sparks" from both ends, then continuing off at
great speed into the distance.  They also reported seeing strange
lights which would appear and fade over a period of time, within
a canyon cliff where a prominent physicist and UFO researcher by
the name of Paul Bennewitz alleged were cave-openings through
which UFO's had been seen entering and leaving.  Bennewitz by the
way had concluded that there was an "alien" controlled "base"
beneath Mt. Archuleta, based upon years of research into the UFO
activity that has often been witnessed by several people in the
Dulce area.  The investigation team who saw the "boomerang
-shaped" object also claimed that when the lights appeared in the
cliff they could hear sounds like radio transmissions, although
the voices were not understandable, and at one point they thought
they heard a sound like "trucks moving" in the distance, even
though they were several miles from any public road (except for
the restricted one?)
     -- Paul Bennewitz reported that: "Troops went in and out of
there (Dulce) every summer, starting in '47.  The natives do
recall that.  They also built a road--right in front of the
people of Dulce and trucks went in and out for a long period. 
That road was later blocked and destroyed.... The signs on the
trucks were "Smith" Corporation out of Paragosa Springs,
Colorado.  No such organization exists--no record exists....I
believe the base--at least the first one (i.e. first U.S.
government built extension of the upper-levels of the base -
Branton) was being built then (under the) covering of a lumbering
project...problem--they NEVER hauled logs.  Only BIG equipment."
(Note: There are indications, based on the testimony of Commander
X and others, that the government was at this time actually
expanding the UPPER LEVELS of an ancient underground installation
which was apparently built originally by an ancient human race
and later infiltrated by the saurian-grays - Branton)
     -- "Commander X", the anonymous military-intelligence
official mentioned earlier, claims to have learned a great deal
about the goings on at the Dulce facility through the
intelligence "grapevine".  He states: "R & D and the Military
Industrial complex became involved and did a study for the base. 
Most of the lakes near Dulce were made via government grants
"for" the Indians.  Navajo Dam is the main source for
conventional electric power, with a second source in El Vado
(also an entrance to this massive complex, which some claim opens
out onto the surface in over 100 sites)."  
     There are many indications as we've said that an
antediluvian race may have inhabited the Americas and - although
extremely warlike and prone to practicing sorcery - were advanced
enough in their sciences to construct a vast system of
underground tunnels connecting large natural cavern systems deep
underground.  The reasons for this could include the following:
military or national defense purposes; protection from saurian
predators above; occult or religious purposes; mining and
excavation, or simply for living purposes.  There are several
documented accounts of people who have encountered very ANCIENT
tunnels and underground excavations of prehistoric origin all
over the United States, however strange this might sound to some
people.  The Mt. Archuleta region MAY be such a site which has
been re-established in post-deluvian times.  We say this because
the four-corners region of the Southwest U.S. seems to be a
central "hub" of subterranean activity which apparently dates
back to ancient or possibly even antediluvian times.  Many of the
ancient tunnel systems which hunters and explorers have allegedly
stumbled across in the southwest - some of which will be
described in detail later on - were at least a few centuries old
when they were found, and possibly even thousands of years old. 
Based on the statement by Commander X that the 'Illuminati' came
into contact with a SUBTERRANEAN reptilian race in the 1930's,
and other accounts which we will describe later, and due to the
fact that not even MJ-12 seems to know how "deep" some of these
installations descend into the earth - we can only come to the
conclusion that the Southwestern subnet (subterranean network) is
much more ancient than the aliens would lead us to believe.  This
ancient subnet has apparently been added to and expanded upon in
more recent ages, based on the numerous accounts which have been
gathered.  
     There seems to be basically four "branches" of subterranean
activity radiating out from the Archuleta area.  Who or whatever
controlled these subterranean networks in the past, it is evident
that much of it is now under the control of the "serpent race". 
Even if humans work within many of these installations, there are
many reports which state that a large number of these have been
implanted in a similar manner that UFO abductees have been
implanted by miniaturized monitoring devices, and thus the
reptilians control such bases, either way one looks at it.  Some
of these electronic implants or monitoring/mind-control devices
are allegedly injected into the optical or nervous systems at the
base of the brain via a large needle which is inserted into the
nasal cavity.  This aspect of the UFO phenomena has surfaced
among thousands of alleged UFO abductees, and these "implants"
have actually been photographed by x-rays and CAT scans.  As
for the four "branches" radiating out from the Dulce, New Mexico
subnet, they are based on various accounts which have been
collected, reports which concern one or more of the following: 1)
Areas where excessively large cavern systems have been reported;
2) Areas where ancient tunnels or artificial excavations of
unknown origin have been reported; 3) Subterranean recesses -
both natural and artificial - in which non-human entities have
been encountered; 4) Subterranean recesses - both natural and
artificial - in which human beings have been encountered.  We
will give a very basic list of these areas, and in later writings
we will deal with each site on which this list in far greater
detail.
     SOUTHERN BRANCH - This reaches down along the border of
Arizona - New Mexico and southwest into the Salt River Valley -
Superstition Mts. area of southeast Arizona and again spreading
southeast towards Pie Town and Datil, Las Cruces, Dona Anna Mts.,
Organ Mts., Carlsbad, Guadellupe Mts., New Mexico.  From here
reports of subterranean activity tend to reach south along the
Guadellupe's and into Texas, towards the region of Dallas and
also into the Big Bend region directly south.  From here the
subterranean activity appears to reach down into Mexico,
Guatemala, and eventually into South America.
     NORTHERN BRANCH - North Along the border of Colorado - Utah,
stretching northeast towards the Uncompagre Mts., Creed, Colorado
Springs, Pikes Peak, Colorado; and then again up through eastern
Utah along the Western Rockies, the Utah and Salt Lake Valleys,
and west into the Salt Flats - Dougway area, north past Hill AFB,
and then northwards into southern Idaho, Burley, etc., and then
north towards the Mt. Teton - Jenny Lake region of NW Wyoming.
     WESTERN BRANCH - This tends to stretch along the Utah -
Arizona border to Page, with branches going southward to the
Coconino Plateau and the Colorado - Little Colorado river
convergence and another branch stretching up into the St. George
area of southwestern Utah.  West from Page towards the Black
Mts., area and then into the Las Vegas - Nevada Military Complex,
and on into southern California through the general region
encompassed by the 29 Palms Marine Base, The Devil's Playground,
Death Valley, Panamint Range, Ft. Irwin, Deep Springs, El Paso
Mts., Edwards AFB., Lancaster, and west to San Francisco and
surrounding regions, to Los Angeles and then up towards Clear
Lake, Mt. Lassen, Mt. Shasta, and then up through the region of
Salem, Oregon, and then up into Washington State and to Mt.
Rainier, etc.
     EASTERN BRANCH - Eastward through northern New Mexico, Los
Alamos, San Cristobel, Taos, etc., and into northern Texas and
then southern Oklahoma - Sulfur Springs, Bromide Springs, Binger,
McCallester, etc., and then eastward through northern Arkansas -
Cushman, Ozark Range, etc., and on into the Kentucky - Tennessee
region - Sweetwater, TN., Salem, Mammoth Caves, Lexington, etc.,
KY., while a "side branch" seems to run north towards Chicago and
then into southern Minnesota.  From Kentucky - Tennessee this
area of activity tends to run through West Virginia - Helevita
and Newville area and into the Bluemont area of Virginia and
Washington D.C., and again into southern Pennsylvania - Allegheny
Mts., Pittsburgh, Dixonville, etc., and then fanning out into
Western New York state - Salamanca, Syracuse, and again towards
Hartford, Connecticut and Mt. Moodus and then towards New York
City and Boston, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and
also into southeast Canada - Toronto, Lake Ontario, Schefferville
on the Quebec-Newfoundland border, etc.  
     As we've said, there are many indications that an
antediluvian race achieved sufficient technological or occult-
technological sophistication to create such a subsurface system,
and there are indications that segments of the U.S. government
have over the years, in addition to recovering crashed aerial
disks, re-discovered many of these ancient tunnel systems and
subsurface networks, and have been "adding on" to them.  Hints of
this activity can be seen in the Military-Industrial complex's,
Los Alamos - Rand Corps., etc., heavy involvement with the
"underground", as evidenced by several sources, including their
own research documents.  On page 645 of the Rand Proceedings of
the DEEP UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION SYMPOSIUM (March 1959), for
instance, we read on page 645: "Just as airplanes, ships and
automobiles have given man mastery of the surface of the Earth,
tunnel-boring machines...will give him access to the Subterranean
World."  The Rand - Los Alamos organization has for years
possessed technology which could accomplish the massive and rapid
exploration of the "Subterranean World", and there is no telling
how far they may have come in realizing this goal, for they are
strangely silent on the outcome of this project.  However, the
September, 1983 issue of OMNI Magazine (page 80) showed a color
drawing of the "Subterrene," the Los Alamos nuclear-powered
tunnel machine that burrows through rock, deep underground, by
heating whatever stone it encounters into molten rock (magma),
which cools after the Subterrene has moved on. 
     The incredible thing is, however, that ancient tunnels
seemingly constructed by such "thermal bores" had been discovered
in remote caverns in diverse parts of the world years before Los
Alamos labs even thought of the possibility.  It appears as if
someone, perhaps some forgotten race in ages past, thought of
this very same thing long before the Anglo-Saxon exploration of
the American continent came about.
