THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY

New Lemurians

The documented record on the Lemurians of Telos comes from two separate channeled and contactee sources that genuinely disagree with each other on how their civilization ended. One says a natural catastrophe sank Lemuria after a war with Atlantis, following an origin story in which the Lemurians themselves arrived on Earth from another planet. The other says there was no other planet at all — Lemuria was a terrestrial civilization destroyed by nuclear war, its survivors fleeing inside Mount Shasta. Neither account mentions hydrokinesis, phasing, or a Level VI classification.

Name: New Lemurians (Telosians)

AKA: Telosians (residents of the city of Telos); Lemurians

Location – Home System: Earth. Their city, Telos, is described as located inside an artificial, dome-like cavern roughly a mile beneath Mount Shasta, in northern California.

Distance from Earth: Not applicable — Telos is described as being beneath the Earth’s surface, not elsewhere in space

Attitude: Described across both accounts as peaceful and communal, focused on spiritual development, and protective of surface humanity against harmful extraterrestrial activity

Motives: Spiritual betterment and an eventual “merging” with a broader “Federation of Planets,” per one channeled account; protection of Earth from harmful extraterrestrials and environmental destruction, per a related channeled source

Physical Appearance: Sparse and specific to one individual case. The one described contactee, known as “Bonnie,” is depicted as a young blonde woman with almond-shaped eyes and small, perfect teeth. No general physical description is given for the population as a whole in either source.

Average Height: Undocumented
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Hundreds of years, attributed in one account to maintaining “pure thoughts”; the channeled figure Adama is himself described as more than 600 years old (as of the mid-1990s)
Hair: Blonde, in the one specifically described individual (Bonnie); undocumented generally
Skin: Undocumented
Eyes: Almond-shaped, in the one specifically described individual (Bonnie); undocumented generally
Sex: Undocumented generally; Bonnie’s family group included both her parents and multiple sisters and cousins

Other Physical Information: Undocumented beyond the description of Bonnie above

Special Traits and Abilities: An unusually long lifespan; the ability to travel into outer space using saucer-shaped vehicles; telepathic channeling ability, evidenced by their communication through psychic intermediaries. No hydrokinesis or “phasing through matter” is documented in either source.

Communication Type: Channeled telepathically through a psychic intermediary, per one source; direct in-person spoken contact, per a separate contactee account

Origin: Two accounts conflict directly. One states that the Lemurians arrived on Earth roughly 200,000 years ago from a planet called Aurora, later founding Lemuria in the Pacific. The other does not mention any extraterrestrial origin at all, describing Lemuria instead as an indigenous Earth civilization.

Life Form Type: Humanoid, physically similar to humans in the descriptions given

Subspecies: None documented

Most Common Species: Not applicable

Level of Species: Undocumented

Habits: Described as living a communal existence without the use of money. They travel between subterranean Lemurian and Atlantean cities via a high-speed tube-transit train system reportedly capable of 2,500 miles per hour, and some are able to travel into space in saucer-shaped vehicles, interacting with visiting extraterrestrials.

Transportation Type: Saucer-shaped vehicles for space travel; a high-speed underground tube-transit train system for travel between subterranean cities

Witnesses Reports: A contactee known as “Bonnie” told researcher William Hamilton in 1977 that she was born in Telos in 1951 and moves freely between the surface world and the underground city with her family. Separately, a channeled entity called Adama, communicating through psychic Dianne Robbins, describes himself as a High Priest of Telos and a descendant of Lemurian survivors. A related channeled source, describing a collective consciousness of Earth’s whales and dolphins referred to as “the Cetaceans,” also communicates through Robbins and references Adama and Telos directly.

Special Features/Characteristics: Population estimates vary between sources — approximately 1.5 million per Bonnie’s account, roughly 1 million per Adama’s. Bonnie’s account states that Lemuria sank due to a natural catastrophe following a war with Atlantis roughly 25,000 years ago, with the sinking occurring some 10,000 years later; Adama’s account instead attributes Lemuria’s destruction to a nuclear holocaust, with only 25,000 Lemurians escaping to found Telos.

Summary/Description: The Lemurians of Telos are documented through two distinct and partly conflicting channeled and contactee traditions. One, centered on a contactee known as “Bonnie,” describes an extraterrestrial origin on the planet Aurora roughly 200,000 years ago, a war with Atlantis, and Lemuria’s eventual sinking due to natural catastrophe. The other, centered on the channeled figure Adama, describes Lemuria instead as an indigenous Earth civilization destroyed in a nuclear holocaust, its survivors founding Telos beneath Mount Shasta. Both traditions describe a peaceful, long-lived, spiritually oriented population living communally beneath the mountain, without the invented biometric panel, named abilities, or species classification previously presented on this page.

DETAILED REPORT

The documented record on the Lemurians of Telos draws on two separate strands of channeled and contactee material, catalogued in Jerome Clark’s Extraordinary Encounters. The first centers on a contactee known only as “Bonnie,” who told California UFO researcher William Hamilton in 1977 that she was born in 1951 in the Lemurian city of Telos, located inside an artificial, dome-like cavern roughly a mile beneath Mount Shasta. She described moving freely between the surface world and Telos along with her parents, two sisters, and two cousins, and stated that Telos residents travel between subterranean Lemurian and Atlantean cities via a tube-transit system capable of 2,500 miles per hour, with some traveling into space in saucer-shaped craft and interacting with visiting extraterrestrials. She placed the city’s population at roughly 1.5 million, living communally without money, and warned Hamilton of a coming shift in Earth’s axis by the end of the century. In her account, the Lemurians originally arrived on Earth some 200,000 years ago from a planet called Aurora, later founding Lemuria in the Pacific; a war with Atlantis roughly 25,000 years ago was followed some 10,000 years later by a natural catastrophe that sank Lemuria beneath the ocean.

A second, separate source is Adama, a channeled entity who communicates through psychic Dianne Robbins and describes himself as the Ascended Master and High Priest of Telos. Adama’s account gives no extraterrestrial origin at all: in his telling, Lemuria was a terrestrial civilization destroyed in a nuclear holocaust, with only 25,000 Lemurians escaping in time to found Telos inside the mountain. He states that maintaining “pure thoughts” allows Telos residents to live for hundreds of years, and describes himself, as of the mid-1990s, as more than 600 years old. He and other Telos residents are said to have since evolved spiritually while also fighting off “marauding extraterrestrials” that threaten surface dwellers, working toward eventual union with a broader “Federation of Planets.” A related channeled source, describing a collective consciousness of Earth’s whales and dolphins called “the Cetaceans,” also communicates through Robbins and references Adama and Telos directly, describing a shared mission of protecting Earth from harmful extraterrestrial activity and environmental destruction.

These two accounts do not agree on how Lemuria ended — natural catastrophe following interplanetary migration, in one telling; nuclear holocaust as an indigenous Earth civilization, in the other — and this archive presents both without resolving the contradiction in either direction.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

The New Lemurians — Telos, Two Endings, and No Biometric Panel

Classification Correction: This entry previously described a tall (7’0″–7’8″), translucent-skinned humanoid with a full biometric panel, named abilities (hydrokinesis, matter-phasing), a species tier (“Level VI”), and a connection to Marianas Trench USO sightings and a Nefilim rivalry. None of this appears in either documented source, both of which give almost no general physical description and instead focus on the Telos society’s history, habits, and communication with contactees. All fabricated detail has been removed.
Source Chain Assessment: Both sources here are channeled or single-witness contactee material — Adama via psychic Dianne Robbins, and Bonnie via researcher William Hamilton’s 1977 account — catalogued as such in a mainstream reference encyclopedia on the subject. Neither should be mistaken for corroborated fact, and the two should not be merged into a single consistent narrative, since they genuinely disagree on Lemuria’s origin and downfall.
Pattern Context / Comparative Cases: This is a case where two real, independently documented channeled/contactee traditions exist side by side without resolving their differences with each other — comparable in kind to the two-source contradiction seen in the Moon-Eyed People entry, though here concerning an underground civilization’s own account of its history rather than an external origin theory.
Physical Evidence / Evidentiary Weight: No physical, geological, or documentary evidence supports either account of Telos or Lemuria’s history. Both rest entirely on channeled communication and a single contactee’s personal testimony, and are presented here strictly as documented claims rather than verified fact.

What survives here is not a single tidy civilization but two real, catalogued traditions that disagree with each other at the most basic level — where the Lemurians came from and how their world ended — united only by a shared setting beneath Mount Shasta and a shared emphasis on peaceful, long-lived, spiritually oriented community life.
