Isaiah makes one cryptic reference to Lucifer which hints that this Satanic epitome of evil didn’t originate on earth but on some other planet in the solar system. In 14:12 the Prophet wrote, “How thou art fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How thou art cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.”

It remained for Flying Saucer contactee Orfeo Angelucci to break the secrecy of ages by revealing that for him and for millions of other earthlings, this is not their home planet. They are failures from the “day-star” planet which formerly occupied the orbit between Mars and Jupiter. In his UFO writings, George Hunt Williamson gave this 5th orbit planet the name Maldek. The wildly gyrating asteroids in that area of the solar system back up the hypothesis, but who would have guessed that our moon is one of the largest remnants of Maldek?

The hint came in late 1969 in one of White Star’s UFO contact messages. This Guardian made a brief reference to the momentous landing of our Astronauts on the moon, July 20th, as “returning to the scene of the crime”. Such a remark makes sense only in the light of the above information.

In previous Journals your editor hazarded a guess that the farthest out planet, Pluto, was not really a solar system planet but an invader, trying to make a place for itself. Now we have an alternate theory, sent to us by Michel Jaffe, director of a UFO Amateur Radio Network and editor of its journal, “Data-Net”. This is a summary of a talk given in Durban, South Africa by Fred Brown, of the Natal Training College, on “The Origin of Pluto”.

“Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is a belt of over 2000 asteroids, varying from small pebbles to huge masses of rock some 500 miles across. Most astronomers believe them to be the remains of a planet which once existed there but somehow disintegrated.

“For a planet to have existed there, it would have had to be a specific mass; for every body in the universe has an effect on every other body in just such a way as to keep the whole system in balance. Not only must the planet’s distance from the sun and its orbital velocity balance out the gravitational attraction between it and the sun to prevent it either moving out away from, or in towards, the sun, but there must also be a balancing of gravitational attractions between it and its neighboring planets, otherwise their orbits would be disrupted; and the gravity a planet has depends on its mass. The mass of this mysterious planet can be calculated to a fair degree of accuracy at about one and two thirds times the mass of the Earth.

“It may be thought strange to consider the disintegration of an entire planet in so well balanced a system, but a planet could have exploded without interfering much with the balance; for all the planets orbit the sun at different speeds; so it is a mathematical certainty that, in the distant past, the planets could have been so arranged that all except the mysterious planet were on one side of the sun with hundreds of millions of miles separating them from the mysterious planet. The actual explosion would then cause almost no upset but a slight upset would be caused by the absence of the planet’s gravitational force — this may be an explanation for the orbits of the planets being ellipses and not perfect circles.

“Now, if the masses of all the asteroids are totaled (this must be an estimate), they give only a little more than one tenth the mass of the Earth. If, however, the masses of all the moons and of all the asteroids and that of Pluto are added together, they give a total of about one and one third that of the Earth. Could the planet Pluto have been a part of the mysterious planet that disintegrated? Also, the moons of all the other planets?

“Pluto has certain properties which suggest that it is not a bona fide planet. According to Bode’s law, there ought not to be a planet there at all (none beyond Neptune), while the same law determines that a planet ought to exist where the asteroids are now. Pluto’s orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of more than 17 degrees — nearly eight times as much as the average inclination of the orbits of the other planets. It has a density similar to that of iron, far more than that of the other planets. This suggests that the planet must be something like a ball of metal about half the size of Earth (the second smallest in the solar system).

“These irregularities can be explained if Pluto has been the core of the exploded planet. If this planet did explode, some fragments must have shot right out of the solar system. The meteors shooting around the solar system now, might be fragments from this explosion, and the comets might have formed from the gases and dust of the planet. This might account for the missing one third mass of the Earth.”

Mr. Brown thinks that this happened hundreds of millions of years ago when the solar system was very young “and the planets still semi-molten”. He thinks that the crust of this planet which we call Maldek formed the asteroids and Pluto was the liquid core of metals. On its way outward from its fifth orbit position “it may have passed very near Neptune whose orbit is disrupted, so that it now crosses over that of Uranus!”.

The plastic inner crust of Maldek furnished the material for the moons of the solar system, according to Brown, even including the smallest moon of Mars, Phobos, with its counter or retrograde rotation. A gob of Maldek matter passed on the other side of Mars to get into that orbit. But through his UFO contacts in 1952 Williamson was told that Phobos and Deimos are artificial satellites. They were constructed and put into orbit by the Martians to stabilize Mars in its orbit and keep it from being thrown out of the solar system, after Maldek exploded.

All of this would be anathema to orthodox astronomer Brown. He attributes the disintegration of the planet of the fifth orbit to the explosion of great pockets of gas accumulating under the hardening crust. “As Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are many millions of miles nearer the sun, their crusts will have formed more slowly and the planets will have cooled more evenly. The planets beyond Mars, being so much farther from the sun, will have formed their crusts more quickly…their very distance saved them. They were so much cooler that the gas was not under as much pressure… The mysterious planet was at just that critical distance where it was not close enough for the gases to find their way to the surface, and not far enough for them not to want to get to the surface badly enough to destroy the planet.”

No doubt Maldek did explode from accumulated pockets of gas under the surface, but the occult view would be that the destructive gas was generated by the selfish, greedy, immoral thoughts and feelings of the human beings who inhabited it! And in terms of solar system time, the event happened much later than “hundreds of millions of years ago” estimated by Brown. He could not guess that Pluto is on its way out of the solar system nor why, a failure of the solar system judgment day.

But we get this occult view of Pluto from Kraspedon’s contact with a Saucer captain from Jupiter, rounding out fragments received from other guardian sources. “On Pluto life is very similar to that on Earth. The people are identical in nearly everything. But notwithstanding their advanced intelligence, they incline to evil and neglect God. They allow their baser instincts to rule them. They learned to travel through space a long time ago. They do not war among themselves — war, alas, only exists on Earth. But they are dangerous beings, and any instances of saucers doing harm to people on Earth can be attributed to them. The only reason they do not harm any other inhabitants of the system is because they know that these other beings are more evolved, and any attempt at conquest would be fatal. But their fate is sealed.

So here we have a good reason for the attempted Plutonian conquest of earth. If the present evil leaders of mankind on Pluto know their planet is to be cast into outer darkness during the coming big system change, they would be looking for a safe refuge on one of the inner planets of the system.

“The people of Earth have committed many misdeeds, and this planet is regarded as the center of evil, but its inhabitants are yet in their infancy, and in the dawn of their intelligent life, with the exception of a small elite who have settled down here as teachers. For this reason, God will punish humanity, but with moderation, without expelling this planet from the solar system. Those who cannot adjust themselves to the higher order of things will be removed from the planet, leaving it in possession of others who will be like the inhabitants of the satellites of Saturn.

“As for Pluto, justice will take its full course. Evil will not be allowed to continue indefinitely. The transgression of law is not a natural phenomenon, because if it were a basic condition for the evolution of individuals of various worlds, then it would itself become a law. It is absurd to think that evil should itself be a law. There are only two tenets that can claim immortality on any inhabited world, these are love of God and love one’s neighbor. Anything that departs from these tenets is a transgression of divine laws.

“The inhabitants of Pluto are fully aware, but choose to ignore them. They became prey to sexual pleasure and as a direct result of this laid themselves open to other sins such as idolatry, sodomy, rebellion and disrespect for the physical integrity of others, and so fell under the whole sway of evil. It is like an avalanche which can start off with the fall of a small stone and finish up as a complete landslide.

“For this reason Pluto will be torn away from this system and will wander towards the nearest constellation. Its inhabitants will suffer untold horror and will not be able to escape. They will be degraded to the state of cave men under atrocious conditions. The splendor of their cities, their rapid transport systems, brilliant lighting and communications and, in fact, all that a highly intelligent humanity can attain to through millenia of constant progress, beyond your imagination, will be written off and crumble into ruin like historical Babylon, with its hanging gardens.

“Then our system will return to normal and we shall become as one large family, all under the banner of love…”
