Reports from the 1800s describe miners in Missouri discovering a buried city with paved streets and stone fountains 300 feet underground. In Kentucky, a shaft dug to 1,200 feet allegedly revealed a massive cavern containing a subterranean ocean filled with blind sharks and whales. These accounts suggest that the Earth's crust contains numerous remnants of previous civilizations and anomalous biological environments.

Analog discusses a report from a mining company in St. Louis that allegedly broke into a subterranean chamber 300 feet underground. Workers described a fully formed city with four-story buildings, paved streets, and functioning fountains. This evidence supports Analog's hypothesis that North America is the true "Old World" where biblical and Egyptian histories actually took place.

Jeremiah Ferwerda argues that storing energy in natural materials like water or concrete is superior to using batteries that require destructive mining for precious metals. He notes that the emissions generated from mining lithium and other battery components often outweigh the environmental benefits of the batteries themselves. Using dirt or water for storage is presented as a clean, cheap, and infinitely sustainable alternative.

Vast mountains of pure coal have been discovered in Antarctica, potentially capable of meeting United States energy requirements for 200 years. However, the presence of high-tech companies like Boeing and SAIC suggests the primary interest is not traditional mining. The involvement of these specific corporations points toward more exotic or classified technological pursuits.

Chad Lewis details the 1903 case of the Van Meter Visitor, a giant winged creature with a glowing horn that terrorized a small Iowa town. Witnesses reported the beast emerged from an abandoned coal mine and possessed the ability to emit a blinding light and an odor that caused amnesia. Lewis suggests the abrupt end to newspaper coverage in 1903 points to an early cover-up of a situation involving technology and phenomena typically associated with modern UFO abductions.
