Maybe everyone's looking in the wrong direction lol.

Synopsis:
All healthy speculation of course and don't know how other folks feel about a race of technologically superior indigenous humanoids sharing the planet and being in some way responsible for UFO (or USO) reports but there's a good interview here in which expands on ufological aspects surrounding the hypothesis.
Cheers!
A lot of my research suggests that this guy may be on the right track.
We have been told to look “out there” forever and also that they “have never visited Earth”.
My take is they are “out there” but it doesn’t mean they aren’t “here”. They also aren’t technically “visiting” because they live here.
Another thought… I have long wondered if humans, as we are today, are an outlier in the sense of being an above-ground, non-subterranean species.
I think of it likes this: being subterranean offers significant protection from a lot of things. You don’t have to be all that far underground, either (ala “doomsday bunkers”) to see benefits. Planets have all kinds of potential issues that can impact the atmosphere or general habitability of the surface. Given these events happen at someone of a frequent cadence when thinking about time on a planetary scale (billions of years) if you wanted to have a civilization that lasts for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years your best shot at that might be to go underground.
The other point for me that supports going underground is to avoid detection. Since I do think the universe is teeming with life the law of large numbers means you probably have some species who are violent and bent on planetary destruction or dominance. Our planet - particularly in the dark - is very obviously inhabited. At minimum that makes us a more curious stop for the “starfleet” types out there and at maximum tells more aggressive species to bring the Calvary if they want to engage us in a hostile manner.
Consider that Venus is now uninhabitable as is Mars (allegedly in both cases). Venus at one point was “Earth’s twin”. We’ve also seen many comments around being from
Venus visiting Earth and despite its proximity to us we’ve been remarkably challlenged in getting images from the surface - and there’s a relatively limited amount of information on Venus relative to Mars.
Using my thought process, Venus would be ideally suited for a subterranean civilization. The surface is so extreme that few would find it hospitable. Natural defenses, low to no ability to validate if it’s inhabited and calls little attention to its self from the “beings must be there” perspective.
This also plays into the “white” or “gray” nature of alleged alien beings - no sun exposure - but now I’m digressing.
That’s all to say that a very ancient subterranean species could be living here on Earth, on Mars and on Venus - and I don’t find that notion to be implausible or improbable if you’re thinking about how to have a species survive for a very long time.
