In his book “The Hollow Earth,” published in 1969, Dr. Raymond Bernard puts forward the theory that flying saucers originated from the Earth’s interior and not from other planets. This theory is far more reasonable than the belief in their interplanetary origin and has been accepted by leading flying saucer experts, such as Ray Palmer and Gray Barker. The idea of subterranean origin of flying saucers was first put forward by Professor Henrique Jose de Souza, president of the Brazilian Theosophical Society, who taught at Sao Lourenco where he had students such as O.C. Huguenin and Commander Paulo Justino Strauss.

The author of the book was initially skeptical of the idea of the subterranean origin of flying saucers, which required the existence of a large cavity inside the earth in which they could fly at tremendous speed. However, after reading the remarkable books of two American scientists, William Reed and Marshall B. Gardner, proving that the earth is hollow with openings at the Poles and a diameter of 5,800 miles in its hollow interior, he was convinced. The author believes that flying saucers come from a subterranean race dwelling inside the earth.

Huguenin learned about the subterranean world and the idea that flying saucers come from the Earth’s interior from Professor Souza. He incorporated this idea into his book “From the Subterranean World to the Sky: Flying Saucers,” which the author discovered while browsing in a Sao Paulo bookstore in 1957. Commander Strauss presented the idea in a series of lectures in Rio de Janeiro, in which he asserted that flying saucers are of terrestrial origin but do not come from any known nation on the earth’s surface. According to him, they originate in the subterranean world.

Professor Souza’s Brazilian Theosophical Society has its headquarters in São Lourenço in the State of Minas Gerais, where there is an immense temple in Greek style dedicated to “Agharta,” the Buddhist name for the subterranean world. Mr. Huguenin dedicated his book to Professor Souza and his wife, D. Helena Jefferson de Souza. The idea of subterranean origin of flying saucers originated in Brazil and was later taken up by American flying saucer experts.

In summary, the theory of subterranean origin of flying saucers, presented in “The Hollow Earth,” is more reasonable than the belief in their interplanetary origin. The idea was first put forward by Professor Henrique Jose de Souza, president of the Brazilian Theosophical Society, and was later incorporated into the book of O.C. Huguenin and presented in a series of lectures by Commander Paulo Justino Strauss. The Brazilian Theosophical Society has its headquarters in São Lourenço, where there is an immense temple in Greek style dedicated to “Agharta,” the Buddhist name for the subterranean world.
