Roswell Slides and the “Ant People”

Roswell Slides and the “Ant People”

Last week, I revealed here at Mysterious Universe that back in 2012, I was given the extensive files, notes, correspondence and archives of the late UFO researcher Kathy Kasten. I also noted that, as Kathy’s files show, much of her research was focused upon studying claims that one of the people who was brought in to study the mysterious bodies reportedly found outside of Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947, was William Randolph Lovelace II – a man with a prestigious background and who worked with both the U.S. military and NASA.

But, there is something else about those fascinating files I inherited: repeated references (specifically in relation to the curious corpses found on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County) to legends concerning the legendary “Ant People.” And, if you’re not aware of the controversy, you’ll likely say: “Huh? Ant People?” Okay, let me explain.

The story of the Ant People is an integral part of the legend, history, and mythology of the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona. Hopi lore tells of how, in times long, long gone, the Earth underwent a series of terrible cataclysms (or cycles) that manifested in the forms of Ice Ages, massive floods, and possibly even calamitous polar tilts.

So the story goes, the Hopi might well have been exterminated when the world was in massive flux, were it not for assistance given to them by a race of diminutive, mysterious, humanoid beings. They were said to live deep underground, in certain parts of the American southwest. They were, of course, the Ant People.

According to the legends, for the most part the Ant People kept away from the Human Race – which was largely oblivious to the existence of the strange world deep below them. On occasion, however, the Ant People would surface, and also on occasion, offer help to people. Thus, bit by bit, the Ant People became known and the legends duly began.

It’s important to note that they weren’t called the Ant People just because they lived underground, in extensive, deep, winding tunnels. No. It was also because despite being humanoid, they somewhat physically resembled ants and particularly so in terms of their faces and their spindly limbs. Of course, one doesn’t have to be a genius to know that some of the so-called “Grays” of alien abduction lore superficially look insect-like. You have probably already surmised where I am going with all this.

Let’s backtrack: thanks to a number of “interesting” sources, Kathy Kasten was hot on the trail of the William Randolph Lovelace/Roswell bodies connection. At some point in her research (and, as far as I can tell, it was no earlier than 2002) Kathy’s sources provided data which led her to focus much of her work on the legends of the Ant People – in specific connection to the possibility that while Roswell may well have been an event involving non-human entities, they weren’t necessarily extraterrestrials.

In that sense, what Lovelace and others might have been exposed to were not aliens from a faraway world, but a race of ancient entities from right here, on Earth, albeit ones that lived almost exclusively underground, in deliberate stealth. Aside from when they made secret and brief excursions to the surface. And possibly even to the skies, using sturdy dirigible-like craft – one of which may have exploded and rained down strange foil-like material and a number of dead, dwarfish entities onto the desert floor, and which were quickly recovered by utterly shocked U.S. military forces. Thus, the enduring legend of Roswell’s “crashed UFO” was born.

It may sound like the perfect plot for the new and upcoming series of The X-Files. But, it’s worth noting that this is a scenario that has surfaced on a number of previous occasions. In 2010, Anomalist Books published the final title from the late Mac Tonnies:The Cryptoterrestrials. Highly thought-provoking and deeply controversial in equal measures, the book focused on the idea that UFOs are not the products of alien races, but of very ancient, terrestrial people that dwell deep underground and who masquerade as extraterrestrials to camouflage their true identity.

Tonnies speculated that the Cryptoterrestrials are likely very impoverished, but utilize subterfuge, hologram-style technology, and staged-events to suggest otherwise to us. He even theorized they may have made use of large, balloon-style craft, too. And on this very matter – of the Cryptoterrestrials using balloons in covert missions – Tonnies said:
