Breakaway civilization is the allegation that an unseen network of political, military, intelligence and corporate elites has, since the end of World War II, secretly developed or obtained radically advanced technology—often linked to recovered UFO craft—and now operates a separate, self-sustaining infrastructure hidden from public oversight.[1] Advocates, most prominently the historian Richard M. Dolan, allegedly claim that this group possesses anti-gravity propulsion, exotic energy systems and back-engineered alien artefacts, all funded through unacknowledged black budget channels that bypass democratic accountability.[1]

A 1986 National Journal investigation reported that secret U.S. defense outlays rose from US$5.5 billion in 1981 to more than US$22 billion by 1987, allegedly providing vast resources for hidden propulsion and energy projects.[2] These funds are said to be channelled through special-access programs governed by 50 U.S.C. § 3348, which allows required reports to be withheld whenever disclosure “would adversely affect national security.”[3]

Researchers sympathetic to the idea allege that intelligence agencies actively shape media narratives to keep the civilisation hidden, citing documented U.S. propaganda techniques intended to seed or suppress specific stories.[4] Civilian “black-plane spotters” have photographed unusual craft over remote U.S. ranges since the 1990s, which believers interpret as breakaway aerospace vehicles.[5]

Alleged core technologies include electrogravitic craft first proposed by inventor Thomas Townsend Brown in the 1950s and later listed among “lost or suppressed inventions,”[6] and breakthroughs in CRISPR gene editing that are purportedly “leaked” in a controlled fashion while deeper research remains classified.[7]

Proponents describe hidden research facilities, logistics chains and even off-world bases funded by classified R&D line items labelled “selected activities” or “special programs.”[2] Witness testimony from retired officials—often protected by non-disclosure agreements—claims briefings on underground laboratories and recovered craft.[1]

Sceptics argue that no verifiable artefacts or whistle-blower documents have surfaced, comparing the narrative to an expanded deep state theory.[8] They contend that historic black projects such as the F-117 Nighthawk eventually entered the public domain, implying that a civilisation wielding superior hardware should leave traceable evidence. Proponents respond that an earlier non-human industrial culture could vanish without obvious ruins, invoking the Silurian hypothesis, which suggests deep-time industrial activity might leave only subtle isotopic markers.[9]

Popular interest continues: documentary platforms such as Gaia have released programmes like “Atlantean Breakaway Civilizations on Earth” that expand on Dolan’s themes,[10] while online communities debate sightings, leaks and alleged documents.
