Malona
Mythical Planet / Esotericism / Ancient Astronaut Theory
Definition:
Malona is the name of a hypothetical ancient planet said to have once existed between Mars and Jupiter. According to esoteric and pseudoscientific narratives, it was destroyed in a massive explosion—an event that allegedly created the current asteroid belt. The planet is often associated with stories of advanced civilizations and interplanetary migration.
Origin and Background:
The name “Malona” is primarily known from the teachings of Swiss UFO contactee Billy Meier, who claimed to have received information from extraterrestrial beings called the Plejaren. According to Meier, Malona was home to a technologically advanced but self-destructive civilization. This idea overlaps with older speculative theories about a lost planet in the asteroid belt, sometimes referred to as Phaeton in other sources.
Key Characteristics:
Malona is said to have supported intelligent life and advanced technology.
The planet’s destruction is attributed to internal warfare or misused technology.
Survivors of the catastrophe supposedly migrated to Earth or Mars.
Malona is often linked with Atlantis-like cautionary tales of downfall through hubris.
Some esoteric sources view Malona as a spiritual warning for humanity.
In Popular Culture and Esotericism:
Malona appears in alternative history, UFO lore, and ancient astronaut theories. It is frequently invoked to explain the origins of humanity, lost knowledge, or the supposed extraterrestrial influences on early Earth civilizations.
Scientific Perspective:
While science has explored the idea of a potential former planet in the asteroid belt (e.g., in the disruption theory), there is no empirical evidence for the existence of Malona. Mainstream astronomy considers it a pseudoscientific or mythological concept rather than a valid astronomical theory.
