The ~~ultraterrestials~~ are an alien race that, well, isn't all too alien. In fact, they originate from Earth, just like us humans, but their civilization is so much older and more advanced than ours that they have no trouble hiding from us ([[The World Is Not Ready|for whatever reason]]). The term was coined by the ufologist John Keel in his ''Operation Trojan Horse'' in 1970, wherein he claims that the UFOs, various supernatural phenomena (like the Mothman), and [[All Myths Are True|religious myths]] imply the activity of an almighty High [[Energy Being]] co-existing with humans on Earth.

Contrast [[Earth All Along]], which includes a reversal of this trope: human spacefarers encounter a strange planet with strange lifeforms. It turns out that a lot of time ~~have~~ passed, and this strange planet is actually Earth. Thus, the visiting human protagonists are actually [[Aliens From Earth]].

Different from [[The Masquerade]] in that the masquerade is the act of hiding (e.g. in ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' extraterrestrials are walking among humans), whereas this is about the origin of the hiding species.

The ~~ultraterrestrials~~ often reside inside the [[Hollow Earth]]. Still others hang out in [[Atlantis]], or a place that's said to be the inspiration for it. Compare/contrast [[Transhuman Aliens]]. Often a form of [[Precursor]].
